GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



The weather conditions have been bet-- 

 ter- lately.- Several waroi,- sunshiny • d*ys- 

 have brought flowers out too fast, espe- 

 cially carnations, of which there has 

 been an abundance, with departriient , 

 stores selling them at 25 cents per dozen. 

 This mode of warfare brought the store 

 price from its all-winter standard of 7i5 

 oents per dozen for the best, down to 50 

 cents. The department store business 

 certainly is a serious menace to legitimate 

 trade. 



The bright weather has hurried the 

 backward lily crop along, so that they 

 will now hit Easter just right, whereas 

 a week ago / it ■ looked as though some 

 would not have enough for their retail 

 requirements. As to azaleas and bulbous 

 stock not nearly as much is seen as was 

 customary in former years, but there 

 will be enough for all local requirements 

 and possibly a few to ship. The stores 

 and wholesale growers, while they claim 

 there is nothing in bulbous stock, have 

 to grow it. There will be some rhodo- 

 dendrons and lilacs. Not many hydran- 

 geas will be seen, but plenty of obcon- 

 icas and cinerarias. 



The supply of cut fldwers will be ample 

 to take care of all orderis, unless there 

 may be a possible shortage of roses. Of 

 violets there will be an abundance and 

 they will undoubtedly be good sellers. 

 As a whole, the market will be well sup- 

 plied with everything needed and expecta- 

 tions are for a fine Easter trade, pro- 

 viding the weather does not turn ex- 

 tremely cold. 



Various Notes. 



Eli Cross has a house of mixed lengths 

 of Easter lilies that with careful firing 

 and a few bright days will make out 

 O. K. 



Henry Smith, the Grand Bapids Floral 

 Co. and William Cunningham have enough 

 lilies for their store requirements. 



Crabb & Hunter are already moving 

 plants into cooler quarters for hardening 

 off. They have a fine lot of pot plants 

 and every plant will be in just right for 

 Easter. G, F. C.
