The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL 14. 1898. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Ky. Society of Florists. 



The Kentucky Society of Florists 

 liekl their regular monthly meeting at 

 the store of Mr. Freil Haupt. at which 

 it was decided to hold a fall show next 

 November. Messrs. Jacob Schulz. W. 

 Mann and Jos. Coenen were appointed 

 a committee to prepare rules and pre- 

 mium list. A meeting will be held 

 April 14 at the establishment of Jos. 

 Coenen & Co. to adopt rules and pre- 

 mium list. After the meeting, refresh- 

 ments will be served. 



Notes. 



Heavy frost and snow on the 5th .-ind 

 6th inst. killed all of the peaches and 

 most of the plums and pears. Busi- 

 ness is inclined to be dull, but with 

 an upward tendency with the approach 

 of Easter. Lilies and carnations are 

 very scarce. 



The writer recently paid a visit to 

 the establishment of G. Thompson & 

 Sons. This firm has been in business 

 since 1S72, and have at present twenty 

 houses stocked with a large variety of 

 plants, which were in fine condition. 

 One house of cinerarias in il-inch pots 

 was grand — immense blooms, and in 

 such variety of colors: The business 

 is at present looked after by George 

 Thompson. Jr.. Mr. Thompson. Sr.. 

 having retired after a well-earned 

 rest. His brother John was appointed 

 Superintendent of Parks last fall, and 

 is out of the business at present. They 

 contemplate rebuilding several of the 

 houses on a more modern plan this 

 summer. KY. 



SPRINGFIELD. MASS.— The Easter 

 trade was very satisfactory all around, 

 and several florists report the best 

 trade in their business experience. A 

 novelty was Crimson Rambler roses in 

 8-inch pots, two to three feet high, and 

 loaded with bloom. Carnations were 

 off crop and in consequence were 

 scarce and high priced. 



TERRE HAUTE, IND.— Easter trade 

 was about 25 per cent, larger than last 

 year, the sales of plants being espe- 

 cially large. Not so many large or- 

 ders as formerly, but large number of 

 small ones. 



ELGIN. ILL.— E. H. Ricker has ob- 

 tained an injunction against the Rick- 

 er National Nursery Co. restraining it 

 from making any moves whatever. W. 

 H. McGregor has been appointed re- 

 ceiver of the nurseries. A suit for the 

 dissolution of the partnership has also 

 been begun. 



SPRINGFIELD. ILL.— The governor 

 has named April 22 as Arbor day for 

 Illinois this year.
