IN MICHIGAN. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro., Kalamazoo, 

 plan to build six large greenhouses in the 

 spring. Each house will be 30x300 feet, 

 and the firm's present glass area of 125,- 

 000 feet will be increased to 180,000 feet 

 when the additions are made. This year's 

 improvements on the firm's Portage ave- 

 nue property include a new house 30x300 

 for violets and sweet peas. 



Shore & Haigh are enlarging and im- 

 proving their greenhouses at Evart. 



A. J. Tozer is rebuilding his green- 

 liouses at Otsego, making the walls of 

 cement. 



Eugene Griggs is starting a green- 

 house plant at Tecumseh. He has com- 

 pleted one house. 



J. H. Grohe, florist of Benton Harbor, 

 is convalescent after a long illness with 

 typhoid fever. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Business continues to be satisfactory 

 and flowers are a little more plentiful, 

 although at no time last week was there 

 an oversupply. Eoses were the best 

 sellers, and prices were good. Some of 

 the best brought $2.50 per dozen. Other 

 grades sold as low as 75 cents, but not 

 many of this grade were sold, buyers 

 preferring the better grades. Carnations 

 are more plentiful, but the call was 

 mostly for roses, so carnations were slow 

 sellers, though the quality for this season 

 of the year was never better. 



Some fine Beauties are coming in and 

 are selling nicely at from $2.50 to $6 per 

 dozen. Some extra good Killarney and 

 My Maryland are being shipped in from 

 Chicago, and are commanding top prices. 

 My Maryland is making good here, and 

 is the best seller. 



Mums are moving as fast as could be 

 expected, as there are not many calls for 

 them until after a good killing' frost. 

 Dahlias are good and are selling well. 

 Cosmos, cosmos and more cosmos, and 

 they are having good calls; the blooms 

 are fine. Some good lilies are in the 

 market. Green goods are in good supply. 



This is horse show week, and some 

 good orders are booked. All the stores 

 are having their share. Several good win- 

 dow displays are to be seen in the flower 

 shops. 



Variotu Notes. 



Anders Rasmussen has several houses 

 of Brides and Maids in full crop, and 

 they are a sight to behold. The quality 

 is good and the color of the Maids is
