LOmSVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Last week we had another holiday 

 of special interest to the trade in Louis- 

 ville. St. Patrick's day heretofore has 

 been marked by the sale of a few green 

 carnations and a few shamrocks, and in 

 no way could be called an extra busy 

 day. The one just passed has shown 

 a decided change, as all hands were busy 

 from morning until night, and an excel- 

 lent demand for table decorations and 

 corsage bouquets, as well as for appro- 

 priate boxes, was indeed gratifying to 

 the Louisville florists. Green and white 

 combinations were used in all forma of 

 work, calling for quantities of carna- 

 tions, narcissi, roses and hyacinths. A 

 diminished call for the freakish green 

 carnations has given way for some truly 

 desirable and artistic creations, bring- 

 ing out the better features of the flow- 

 ers, instead of making them hideous. 



Some extra fine forget-me-nots have 

 appeared on the market and have in- 

 creased sales to some extent. They are 



always cleaned up from day to day. 

 Although great quantities of Spencer 

 sweet peas are being sold every day, the 

 demand never meets the supply. As a 

 result many are going to the dump; 

 the wholesale price stands at 50 cents 

 per hundred. From all reports, it is 

 believed that the supply of giganteum 

 lilies will be suflQcient for Easter, but 

 at present they are hard to obtain from 

 local growers. By reason of this the old 

 favorites, callas, are coming into their 

 own again, large numbers being used in 

 the heavy funeral work of last week. 

 Along with the spring weather comes 

 an increasing supply of roses and car- 

 nations, but it seems the demand keeps 

 pace with the quantities brought in. 



The supply of all of the bulbous plants 

 is on the increase, and these are meet- 

 ing with a splendid sale. Many tulips 

 are used in the numerous funeral pieces 

 prepared daily. Landscape work is now 

 calling the attention of those interested 

 in that line of business. Many hand- 

 some orders have been booked, although 

 the season has not opened yet.

Various Notes. 



I wish to correct the serious mistake 

 in this column last week. It was stated 

 that Louis Bryant had severed his con- 

 nection with Anders Rasmussen and 

 gone into business for himself. It is 

 his younger brother who has gone into 

 business. 



Mrs. M. D. Reimers had a handsome 

 decoration for a large dinner and dance 

 March 17. The popular green and white 

 scheme was carried out. 



An especially fine bench of callas was 

 seen at the establishment of P. A. 

 Reynolds. Large numbers of fine flow- 

 ers stood above the glossy foliage, al- 

 though the stock was burned in places 

 from a freeze during the extremely cold 

 weather a few weeks ago. Mr. Reynolds 

 states that he has been most successful 

 with all kinds of bulbous plants. 



Mrs. H. G. Walker is rapidly recover-
