The Weekly Florists' Review* 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Various Items. 



Xnias trade seems to liavc been very 

 satisfactory with 'everybody around 

 liere. Prices ruled about the same as 

 last year. 



At the meeting of the Kentucky Soci- 

 ety of Florists, held on Jan. 3d. the 

 following officers were elected: Presi- 

 dent, William Mann; vice-president, C. 

 F. Wood; secretary, Henry Lichtefeld; 

 financial secretary, Jos. Coenen; treas- 

 urer, C. U. Kunzman; sergeant-atarms, 

 Jacob Sehulz. The newly elected pres- 

 ident made a beautiful speech and 

 wished the society a happy new year. 



Fire destroyed Geo. Thompson & Son's 

 greenhouses on the night of Jan. 1st and 

 caused the loss of their entire stock of 

 plants and buildings. The estimate of 

 their loss is in the neighborhood of f6,- 

 000, jiartly insured. They have the sym- 

 pathy of the other florists in their mis- 

 fortune. 



Jos. Coenen & Co. report a very large 

 trade in palms and ferns for Xmas. 



J. E. Marret reports a very large trade 

 during the holidays. E. G. Keiners 

 also reports very good Christmas trade. 



Jacob Sehulz never gets left when the 

 time comes around. His stock for 

 Christmas was first-class. 



Wm. Mann, the carnation king, was 

 at his best again. He cut some 800 

 blootns for Xmas. 



C. H. Kunzman is cutting some very 

 fine carnations. 



Lichtefeld & Son had all they could 

 attend to during Xmas and New Year's. 



We all wish the Florists' Review a 

 happy year.

GREEN AND RED CATS. 



Several thousand green and red eats 

 are to bo seen at McKellar & Winter- 

 son's store in Chicago this week. Each 

 cat is provided with a brown collarette 

 before it is sent out, and as the result 

 of this ]ir( r;nition none have had a chill 

 U]i t' il:il. . And on the coat of eacli is 



l'l:i'i'! .1 I -cilia and a jardiniere.

can be made to disgorge by a dose of the 

 "long green" type of physic is phenom- 

 enal. And the tremendous list of dif- 

 ferent items is closed by an intimation 

 that if they have accidentally omitted 

 anything that a florist can use in any 

 walk of life they will get it in on the 

 gallop. 



Seriously it is a remarkable catalogue 

 and well illustrates the continually wid- 

 ening needs of the trade through the 

 rapid extension of the business. If you 

 haven't received a copy you can undoubt- 

 edly acquire one by addressing a request 

 to McKellar & Winterson, 1,5. 47. 49 

 Wabash avenue. Chicago.
