LOUISVILI.E, KY. 



The Market. 



Exceptionally fine and sunny weather 

 prevailing during the latter part of last 

 week resulted in a better supply of cut 

 flowers on this market. Eoses and car- 

 nations were again more plentiful and, 

 if the good weather continues, the out- 

 look is promising for good crops. The 

 demand still exceeds the supply, though 

 the funeral work is no larger than nor- 

 mal for this time of the year, as the flu 

 has not been strong here. The outlook 

 is fine both for the retailer and the 

 grower. The first freesias and stocks 

 have appeared. Sweet peas and calen- 

 dulas are of good quality. 



Varioiis Notes. 



August R. Baumer moved last week 

 into his new residence, on Eastern park- 

 way. His Store force is kept on the 

 jump with many shipping orders. 



The F. Walker Co., 312 Chestnut 

 street, displayed some beautiful orchids 

 and some heather direct from Califor- 

 nia. Flowers from this part of the coun- 

 try are appearing more often on the 

 local market. 



Marret & Miller have had an exceed- 

 ingly busy week. Their hall and table 

 decorations at the Seelbach hotel, for a 

 party of 200, were excellent, consisting 

 of ferns, red carnations and narcissi for 

 the tables, and palms for the hall. 



The greenhouses of Jacob Schulz Co., 

 on Cherokee road, are well stocked with 

 plants in good condition. William 

 Schulz has some seedling begonias, 

 which, because they are fof quicker 

 growth than Chatelaine begonias and 

 produce larger flowers and heavier 

 foliage, are promising. They also do not 

 damp off so easily as Chatelaine be- 

 gonias do. His sweet peas are in fine 

 shape and a batch of Holland lilies of 

 the valley was a treat for the eye. 



The William Walker Co. greenhouses 

 at Ormsby are in fine condition. This 

 company is having a splendid cut of 

 roses, with Columbia an easy favorite. 

 Carnations are showing up again. The 

 first snapdragons are making their ap- 

 pearance and white buddleia, rainbow 

 freesias and calendulas are helping to 

 fill the demand at this store. William 

 Walker, Sr., and Mr. Weller, manager 

 of the store, were visitors at the car- 

 nation show in Chicago. 



Edith Walker & Bro., on Fourth ave- 

 nue, have a nice display of small orange 

 trees in pots, which are loaded with 

 fruits. Both funerals and social affairs 

 are keeping their force busy, and their 

 specialty of made-up baskets gives them 

 a large part of the transient trade. B.
