The Market. 



Business, as usual, has been running 

 at high tide during the last week and, 

 thanks to a few days of sunshine, stock 

 has increased to meet the heavy de- 

 mands. Funeral work and flowers for 

 the sick have provided the florists with 

 many generous orders. The excellent 

 St. Valentine 's day business cleaned up 

 every sweet pea, violet and valley in 

 the city and went deeply into the sup- 

 ply of roses and spring flowers. We 

 think Valentine's day can be made 

 just as great a flower day as Christmas 

 or Easter, with the aid of judicious ad- 

 vertising to educate the public. 



All of the growers now are supplying 

 large quantities of sweet peas of excel- 

 lent quality, which are quickly sold. 

 Calendulas and ten weeks' stocks are 

 being shown, as well as some extra fine 

 Keystone snapdragons. A vase of Rain- 

 bow freesias in a Fourth avenue window 

 caused many to stop and admire. White 

 lilac is coming in and is of high quality. 

 There also is a plentiful supply of Paper 

 White narcissi, at 75 cents per dozen. 

 Lilium gigantcum is still extremely 

 scarce. There seems to be an opening 

 for some wide-awake grower who will 

 specialize in this flower. 



Various Notes. 



While this column is conducted for 

 the Louisville florists, we feel we are 

 not getting as much of their cooperation 

 as we should. When we call and ask 

 for news, some are not as talkative as 

 they might be. Any items in this col- 

 umn are dug up with great difficulty. 

 Helping the writer will be helping your- 

 self, Mr. Florist. 



The death of two of Louisville's 

 prominent men brought the florists some 

 good orders. Mrs. M. D. Reimers han- 

 dled tlip family order of C. P. Moorman. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson furnished flow- 

 ers for an elaborate double wedding St. 

 Valentine's day, which taxed the ca- 

 pacity of the Thompson store. This 

 was in addition to the other rush for this 

 day. 



The roses at the Rasmussen green- 

 houses are coming into lieavy crop, hav- 

 ing been helped by the bright weather.
