LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The "Louisville Florists' Supply and 

 Exchange" will open June 1 at 620 

 Fourth avenue. It will be a commis- 

 sion house, with some unique feature.s. 

 All the consignments will he kept ab- 

 solutely separate and the consignee 

 notified of any unsold stock. The rec- 

 ord will be kept so that sales can be 

 accurately traced clear through. It is 

 also announced that no sales will be 

 made to fakirs. An establishment of 

 this sort has long been needed here.

H. S. Cruikshank devotes his whole 

 plant to cutflowers. of which he sel- 

 dom has a surplus. The bedding plant 

 trade has, as in many oth^r places, 

 drifted into the hands of smaller grow- 

 ers who are content with less or no 

 profit. For a city of its size our liranch 

 is poorly patronized, I should not won- 

 der if Sol Smith Kussell found mate- 

 rial in such a place for his play "Peace- 

 ful Valley" so content are ihe natives 

 with their surroundings. 



BRATTLEBORO. VT,— C. E. Allen 

 reports a good seed season which 

 opened up well and the recent cool 

 spell allowed him to catch up with 

 orders. He issues a plant catalogue 

 and carries a general line of stock to 

 supply an old established clientage. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH.— Joseph Dun- 

 kley, the well known florist, and the

 of.
