LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Notes. 



Trade the past week has been very 

 good, owing to commencement and 

 funeral work. Roses are of poor qual- 

 ity. Sweet peas are coming in and are 

 very fine. 



•Jos. Coenen is the happiest man in 

 town, the arrival of a fine boy. Con- 

 gratulations are in order. 



.Jacob Schulz is rebuilding three old 

 houses and putting in two new steam 

 boilers. 



Henry F^uhs is building a very fine 

 residence of the latest style. 



F. Liihtefekl & Son had some very 

 large orders tor funeral work last 

 week. 



Nanz & Neuner report the largest 

 trade in plants they ever had. 



Jno. Bohemian. Mr. ITnger and Hy 

 Lichtefeld intend making a trip to Cin- 

 cinnati and Hamilton some time in 

 July. 



C. H. Kunzman has completed a 

 large carnation house. 



Around Louisville carnations in the 

 field are looking fine. As'ers, though. 

 are very poor this year. They have 

 what is called the "rust." 



Mr. Charles Neuner. formerly of 

 Nanz & Neuner, died on the 21st of 

 .June, and the funeral took place on 

 last Friday afternoon and was attend- 

 ed largely. The floral designs were 

 very fine. HY LICHTEFELD. 



KANSAS CITY. MO. 



Various Items. 



This city is looking decidedly metro- 

 politan at present. One month ago 

 Mayor Reed made a suggestion 

 through the papers to all business men 

 to use paint and kalsomine on the 

 fronts of their stores and to assist in 

 every way possible to entertain the 

 distinguished people who would assem- 

 ble here at the Democratic convention 

 during the week of .luly 4. We wish 

 our eastern friends to know that we 

 are not lacking in enterprise here in 

 the West. Three years ago .$300,000 

 was raised by popular subscription for 

 the purpose of building a large hall, to 

 be called Convention Hall. Early last 

 April fire consumed this entire struc- 

 ture. In less than a week the rebuild- 

 ing of another hall was commenced, 

 and on Sunday, July 1, it was open to 

 the public. Under the roof of this 

 mammoth building the "Tammany 

 Tiger" will on the glorious Fourth In- 

 struct the Democratic party how to 

 govern the country for Ihe next lour 

 years, should they be elected. Palms 

 are being used liberally in this hall, at 

 the hotels and also at the different 

 committee headquarters, but there is 

 very little call for cut flowers. The 

 outside decorations are showy, and the 

 streets brilliantly illuminated with dif- 

 ferent colored lights. 



Improvements are continually being 

 made on the "Paseo." which is now 

 looking bright with blooms from the 

 summer bedding. In the sunken gar- 

 den two lyres are beautifully worked 

 out with coleus and ageratum. Band 

 concerts are given here twice a week 

 and there is not a prettier spot in the 

 country. 



The premiums for the model lawn 

 contest inaugurated by the Kansas 

 City Times v/ere awarded last week. 

 There were fifty prizes in all. amount- 

 ing to the aggregate of $1,500. Over 

 three hundred people made special ef- 

 forts to win one of these honors, and 

 to avoid dissatisfaction and partiality 

 six competent lady judges were select- 

 ed from out of town, each one to act 

 independently in reaching a decision. 



The highest prize. $2.50. was awarded 

 to one of our society ladies; another of 

 $100 to an old lady 78 years old; a boy 

 of 11 captured $100 with a splendid as- 

 sortment of flowers grown on a sand 

 hill, and $25 was given a colored lady 

 for the neatest lawn and prettiest flow- 

 ers of the more common varieties. We 

 hope the contest will be repeated an- 

 other year and the growers of plants 

 will please take notice that more and 

 better stgck will be in demand. 



Richard Jarrett & Son have dis- 

 solved partnership. Mr. Jarrett has 

 leased his greenhouses for a term of 

 years and Nelson Jarrett is now locat- 

 ed in a small way at Fifty-sixth and 

 Troost avenue. 



Mr. H. G. Berning. of St. Louis, 

 called upon us last week. Come again.
