QBAND BAPIDS CONVENTION. 



It is easy and safe to predict that the 

 third annual convention of the Green- 

 liouse Vegetable Growers' and Market 

 <iardeners" Association, to be held in 

 Grand Rapids, Mich., September 27 to 

 29, will be of more than ordinary in- 

 terest and value, owing to the thorough 

 preparations that have been made for 

 the event, and owing to the special suit- 

 ability of the meeting place. 



It is stated that more than half of 

 the sixty greenhouse plants in and 

 about Grand Rapids are devoted exclu- 

 sively to the growing of vegetables. 

 The list of establishments to be visited 

 includes, of course, that of Eugene 

 Davis, originator of the Grand Rapids 

 lettuce, the Davis Perfect cucumber and 

 the Grand Rapids Forcing tomato. A 

 visit will also be made to the office and 

 warehouse of the local association of 

 growers, organ ixed for the purpose of 

 improving and systematizing the mar- 

 keting of their products.
