LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The regular monthly racetiug of the 

 Kentucky Society of Florists was held 

 at Music Hall on April 4. with Presi- 

 dent C. F. Wood in the chair and a 

 good attendance was present. Consid- 

 erable business was transacted. It 

 was decided to give a chrysanthemum 

 show this fall, in November, and the 

 advance premium list w-ill be mailed 

 to every member. Mr. William Mann 

 read a paper on "Artistic Work in 

 Making Floral Designs." which at- 

 tracted considerable attention. 



Easter trade was a record breaker 

 this year. Lots of plants and ferns 

 were sold. Some very fine tulips and 

 azaleas went at a good figure. In cut 

 flowers, prices were about the same as 

 last year. Harrisii lilies were scarce. 



Jacob Schulz had a very fine dis- 

 play of all kinds of plants, and reports 

 a heavy trade this year. .loseph Coen- 

 en & Co, sold every blooming plant 

 they had. T. B. Rudy reports a very 

 large Easter trade. Nanz & Neuner 

 made a fine display at their store; a 

 very iirge azalea in their show win- 

 dow attracted considerable attention. 



Wood & Stubbs, the seedsmen, report 

 a very large trade, and their forces are 

 kept late to fill orders, 



Hy, Fuchs' little boy has been very 

 sick, but is improving. 



C. H. Kunzman's carnations came in 

 just right for Easter and were beau- 

 ties. 



F. Lichteteld & Son had all they 

 could do for Easter — the best ever 

 known, 



Jno. Bettman & Sous of New Al- 

 bany, Ind., report the largest Easter 

 sale of plants and cut flowers ever 

 known. HY. LICHTEFELD. 



PEORIA, ILL. 



The Friday preceding Easter was 

 cold and cloudy and very little business 

 was done. Saturday being light and 

 warm, brought out the crowds, and 

 trade was excellent. 



LongiHorum lilies took the lead, and 

 there were some very fine Harrisii 

 grown by .J. C. Murray, with 12 to 14 

 flowers. There were large numbers of 

 spireas, which sold well. Cole Bros', 

 lilies did not all get in in time, but 

 they did well with their other stuff. 



Kuhl. of Pekin, had a grand display 

 and some fine cut roses. Loveridge 

 did well with good roses, cut, and pot 

 stufl:'. J. C. Murray had a very large 

 and varied display in a huge store on 

 Adams street, rented for the purpose, 

 and sold out clean. His roses and car- 

 nations were fine and plenty. Prices 

 were 40 to 60 cents a dozen for carna- 

 tions and fl to ?2 a dozen for roses.

C3NaNNATL 



Easter trade was about the same as 

 last year. There was a shortage of 

 roses and carnations, due to the dark, 

 rainy weather just previous to Easter, 

 Bullions stock was not so plentiful as 

 heretofore, and brought good prices. 

 There was a good demand for bloom- 

 ing plants both at the itores and the 

 flower market. We were favored with 

 Ideal weather on Saturday and Sun- 

 day, which brought out the people, al- 

 though it was too late to bring out 

 the flowers. 



George & Allan hit it nicely with 

 5,000 Harrisii and sold them all at 15 

 cents per bloom, B.
