GRAND RAPIDS. 



We are having a dry time of it again, 

 with cold nights; in fact, light frosts 

 have injured the tops of tomato plants 

 and nearly ruined late planted corn. 

 Coleus and heliotrope in the field are 

 just enough touched to say so. 



Business is quiet, save for funeral or- 

 ders and an occasional wedding. There 

 is nothing doing, as shipping has not yet 

 started with any degree of activity. 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums have been 

 in bloom since the middle of August, and 

 while some are sold, it is too early to get 

 mums in flower. A better time is from 

 the middle of September and then on. 

 Carnation planting is not yet finished, 

 but is being pushed as fast as possible. 

 Several of the local florists find them- 

 selves short of carnation plants and wake 

 up to the realization that stock, in varie- 

 ties wanted, is none too plentiful. 



The demand being light, there are 

 plenty of asters to go around; otherwise 

 there are few good asters to be had. All 

 outdoor stock is showing the effects of 

 the dry weather, 



Bruinslot & Sons are still busily en- 

 gaged on their boiler-room excavation. 

 The walls will be of cement to the roof, 

 and the depth underground ten feet, so 

 the boiler can be set low enough so the 

 drip can return to the boiler by gravity. 



James Schols, who was taken sick with 

 appendicitis while attending the Cincin- 

 nati convention, is back home again. He 

 is well, but too weak to do any work as 

 yet. He is to be congratulated on get- 

 ting over it safely. 



W. L. Cukerski, late superintendent of 

 parks, is building several greenhouses on 

 West Fulton street, and will be right in 

 it next year as a full-fledged florist, as 

 well as nurseryman and landscape gar- 

 dener. 



The West Michigan State Fair begins 

 September 13, and extensive preparations 

 are being made to make it a great suc- 

 cess. Among other noticeable alterations 

 the florists are transferred from Pomo- 

 logical hall to Art hall, where they will 

 be given an appropriate section. Those 

 intending to exhibit are Henry Smith, 

 Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., Eli Cross 

 and H. Danhoff. We only hope the 

 weather is going to be fine and that no 

 hard frosts will injure the plants. 

 Charles Bowditch, of the Soldiers' Home, 

 will be, as usual, in charge, with W. L. 

 Cukerski as judge. G. F. C.

Mastica Is elastic and tenacious, admits 

 of expansion and contraction. Putty 

 becomes bard and brittle. Broken glass 

 more easily removed without breaking 

 of other glass as occurs with bard putty.
