The Florists' Review 



Febsuabi 20, 1010. 



i.oxnsviLi;E. 



The Market. 



Sto«k haa been extremely scarce. 

 Oarnations are scarcely obtainable in 

 the local market. Columbia roses are 

 few, but are in fairly good condition, 

 likewise Ophelias. Few Sunbursts are 

 seen, but Wards are good. Sweet peas 

 have been a great help in the shortage 

 and violets are in good condition. Un- 

 usually good valley has arrived in the 

 local market. Blooming plants are 

 scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The Kentucky Society of Florists held 

 its monthly meeting at the store of the 

 "William Walker Co. The selling »f cut 

 flowers and plants by growers and re- 

 tailers was discussed. Mr. Basmussen 

 gave an interesting talk. 



Miss Emma Baumer, who has been 

 on the sick list for several weeks, is 

 again in good health and is back at the 

 store of August Baumer. 



Louis Kirch, of the Kirch Greenery, 

 is having a hard time to supply the 

 local florists with greens. He has made 

 several attempts to secure plumosus 

 from the south without success. How- 

 ever, his own greens are beginning to 

 make a showing and he hopes to be 

 able to supply the local trade with 

 home-grown stock in the near future. 

 Mr. Kirch expects to be able to furnish 

 Bainbow freesias soon, as his stock is 

 looking promising. 



All the florists throughout the city 

 report St. Valentine's day the best in 

 years. The only trouble was the short- 

 age of stock. Many were compelled to 

 turn customers away. L. K. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is rushing, funeral work be- 

 ing especially heavy. There have been 

 a number of social events calling for 

 flowers and St. Valentine's day was a 

 busy day for the trade. If properly 

 advertised, this doubtless may be made 

 one of the big flower days. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann reports a heavy 

 sale of plants for valentines. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. 

 had a pretty valentine window last 

 week, which attracted a good deal of 

 attention. 



Julius Niednagel is cutting fine sweet 

 peas and carnations. There is a big 

 crop of carnations on, but they are kept 

 harvested so closely that there is scarce- 

 ly anything in sight but buds. 



C. L. Niednagel 's roses are coming 

 into crop. 



Karl Zeidler had a fine lot of plants 

 and carnations for the St. Valentine's 

 day trade. 



Theodore Kuebler keeps a good sup- 

 ply of potted plants and cut flowers on 

 display at his market stand. 



The greenhouses of William Hal- 

 brooks & Sons, which have been closed 

 during the' winter, will soon be alive 

 with tomato plants. Norwood Hal- 

 brooks has contracted to grow plants 

 for the Dyer Canning Co. *"" 



The Lockyear Floral Co. hrfd a good 

 trade St. Valentine's day and is busy 

 all the time with funeral work. 



Jack Niednagel has returned home

NOTE WHAT THIS WELL KNOWN GROWER SAYS: 



Mr. Paul Rasch, inventor of the Rasch Sprayer, has demonstrated its 

 use in the houses under my charge. It is a great time and nicotine saver 

 and will be the coming sprayer. It worked lo my best satisfaction.
