LOUISVILLE, KY. 



At the last meeting of the Ken- 

 tucky Society ot Florists, the follow- 

 ing officers were elected tor the ensu- 

 ing year: C. F. Woods, Pres. ; T. B. 

 Rudy, Vice-Pres.; Henry Lichtefeld, 

 Kec, Secy.; Joseph Coenen, Fin. Secy.; 

 H, Kunzman, Treas,; Jacob Schulz, 

 Sentinel; Henry Fuchs, trustee. On 

 Tuesday, January 2, the imstallation of 

 the new officers will take place, and a 

 good attendance is expected. 



Business is not very brisk at pres- 

 ent and has been quiet all this fall. 

 The prosperity wave has not yet 

 reached our florists. Everything we 

 have to buy is higher, and what we 

 have to isell is lower in price than for 

 years. 



Chrysanthemums are about over. 

 Plenty of Romans and P. W. narcis- 

 sus are coming in, the latter not so 

 good as last year. 



Mr. T. B. Rudy raised this summer 

 some of the largest tomatoes ever seen 

 here, some weighing as high as 3% 

 lbs. It is a variety that he has im- 

 proved and that is not yet in the mar- 

 ket. 



Jacob Schulz and Nanz & Neuner 

 each had a public show of chrysan- 

 themums. Both cut blooms and pot 

 plants were very fine. 



Mr. Henry Lichtefeld raised a nice 

 lot of very fine Chrysanthemums. 



H. Walker & Co., on Fourth avenue, 

 Tiave the conservatories back of their 



store tilled with a line lot of palms, 

 ferns and other decorative plants.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



There has bci-ii no marked change 

 in the i-ondition of the market since 

 last report. Mums are done and owin,u; 

 to their being past, caused an extra 

 demand on roses and carnations; in 

 fact we have seen no oversujjply for 

 some time, and carnations arc now ii|) 

 to 2 and 2i,i> cents on common sorts; 

 fancy a shade higher. 



The usual dull weather caused a lull 

 in trade, but as stock is short and 

 Christmas near at hand prices remain 

 very firm all around, 



Roses going at ?1 to $1.25 per doz.; 

 violets, 25 to 30 cents; Romans and 

 paper whites, 50 to 75 cents. All the 

 stores are busy, and shipping trade is 

 at its height. 



The season up to now has been the 

 best known in Grand Rapids for years. 

 Crops seem to be oft and it looks as 

 if stock would be more than short for 

 Christmas. One thing of note is that 

 there are less lilooming plants than 

 usual at this time of year. 



Prices are now considered at the 

 top, Init at these prices there will not 

 be enough to fill orders. One thing is 

 true. Grand Rapids must base its 

 prices on Chicago, and a look at Chi- 

 cago notes makes the home growers 

 put on their thinking caps, for Chi- 

 cago offers more, at wholesale, than 

 the prospects are of our getting at re- 

 tail,
