The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 31, 1903. 



LOUISVILLE. KY. 



State of Trade. 



Christinas trade was good and lots of 

 plants in bloom were sold. Some very 

 fine Gloire de Lorraine were to be seen 

 and sold well. Prices ruled about the 

 same as last year, no increase whatever. 

 Lots of holly was sold, but very cheap. 

 The florists here have a lot to "contend 

 with. The peddlers will make holly up 

 in wreaths and sell them at 15 cents, or 

 two for i^o cents. The weather the day 

 before Christmas was all that could be 

 desired, but ou Christmas night a very 

 dangerous storm swept over our city. 

 The wind blew at the rate of sixty-five 

 miles an hour, but no damage was done to 

 any of tlie greenhouses. 



Various Items. 



.Tai-ob Schulz made a very liaudsome 

 •display at his store on Fourth avenue 

 for Christmas, and reports a very satis- 

 factory Christmas trade. F. Walker & 

 ■Co.. across the street, had all they could 

 attend to. 



Xauz & Xeuner's window was ablaze 

 with Christmas bells and some very fine 

 Begiinia Gloire de Lorraine. 



ilrs. C. B. Thompson made a fine dis- 

 play of ferns, palms and blooming plants 

 for her trade. 



Jos. Coenen & Co. are smiling all over, 

 and they ought to be, as they sold all 

 their big ferns for Christmas." 



J. E. ilarret and E. G. Eeimers each 

 did a fine business for Christmas. 



Louis Kirch, of JNIilton avenue, has two 

 houses devoted to carnations and one 

 house is planted in Norway and Queen 

 Louise which are hard to beat around 

 here. The plants are healthy and in fine 

 growing condition. The other house is 

 planted with Crane and is also very fine. 

 Louis was married a while ago and he 

 tias built a verv handsome residence. 



C. H. Kuuzman, of the West End, has 

 put in a new Burnliam boiler. 



Henry Fuchs is building a new resi- 

 dence at his place. 



Adam Heitz has bought a piece of 

 ground near his place for $1,250. 



H. LlCHTEFELD. 



S-\BULA, Iowa. — On the night of De- 

 cember 20 fire destroyed the residence 

 of Wm. B. Lovell and all its contents, 

 the family having barely time to escape. 

 The greenhouses were saved.
