The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 20. 1911. 



GRAND BAPIDS, MICH. 



The Market. 



The incessant nightly downpours, 

 which began the day following Decora 

 tion day, continue and are usually ac- 

 companied with fierce thunder and elec- 

 tric displays and the temperature all 

 through June has been excessively hot. 



The bedding trade is about over, 

 most of it being finished two weeks 

 earlier than usual. More plants were 

 sold this year than last and business 

 as a whole has shown sufhcient improve- 

 ment so that all are satisfied. 



Graduating exercises used up large 

 quantities of roses in bunches, red prin- 

 cipally, although a few used white. 

 Carnations are small and inclined to be 

 soft. Roses are plentiful and small. 

 Some growers have riweet peas, the 

 Spencer varieties, but the stems are 

 short. Gladioli show no signs of dimin- 

 ishing and move well at $1 per dozen. 

 Lilies are about over. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Smith is rebuilding three 

 houses and putting up two small violet 

 houses. 



R. Yonkers and Klanksma Bros., 

 both vegetable growers, are each put- 

 ting up two new vegetable greenhouses. 



Crabb & Hunter have sold their Mad- 

 ison property to the city for a park 

 and playground, and will remove all 

 the buildings to their Reeds Lake prop- 

 erty. They expect to be kept busy on 

 the job until snow flies, and mavbe 

 longer. G. F. 0. 



R. Yonkers is adding two new green- 

 houses to his plant south of the city, 

 each 34x275 feet, and so built that a 

 team can be driven in or a horse be 

 used in the cultivation of the growing 

 crop. 



Peter Blanksma is rebuilding three 

 of his greenhouses, with a view to mak- 

 ing his plant thoroughly modern in ar- 

 rangement. His specialty is cu- 

 cumbers. With three of his houses 

 out of commission this season, he is 

 trying an experiment in growing the 

 vines outdoors as they are grown un- 

 der glass, training them up on wires in- 

 stead of letting them spread on the 

 ground. 



Henry Smith is adding two large 

 houses to his plant on West Bridge 

 street and they will be used for violet 

 growing. 



Elmira, N. Y.— Harry N. Hofifman, of 

 this city, acted as judge at the recent 

 show of the Syracuse Rose Society. 



Feorla, 111. — Frank Jerabek has pur- 

 chased the Kipler greenhouses, north 

 of town.
