The Florists' Review 



May 28, 1914. 



LEXINQTON, KY. 



The Market. 



Trade during the last two weeks has 

 been quite good, most of the stock going 

 into funeral work. A great deal of 

 Stock has also been used for school 

 njommencements and weddings, Boses 

 ind carnations are plentiful, but both 

 Are showing the effects of the warm 

 Weather. Plenty of good valley, sweet 

 peas and Easter lilies are coming in 

 and find a ready sale. Smilax and as- 

 paragus are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Honaker the Florist had a narrow es- 

 cape from being burned out May 24, 

 at the time of the destruction of the 

 plant of the McCormiek Lumber Co., ad- 

 joining the greenhouses. Only the 

 prompt work of. the fire. department and 

 the greenhouse force saved the range. 



The force at the John A. Keller es- 

 tate has been busy of late with bedding 

 stock. The houses are pretty well 

 cleaned out. Spencer peas from this 

 establishment are the best to be found 

 in this market. Roses and carnations are 

 plentiful and of good quality, 



Michler Bros. Co. reports a busy 

 spring in all branches and especially 

 in landscape work. The new house, in- 

 tended for roses, is completed. 



Keller Florist has had his hands full 

 with funeral and commencement work 

 of late. Several orders are on file for 

 weddings in the next few days. Mr. 

 Keller reports business good in general. 



Kelley & Current are sending a fine 

 lot of longiflorum lilies to this mar- 

 ket. Thousands of bedding plants have 

 been disposed of during the last few 

 weeks by this firm. 



A visit to the State Asylum for the 

 Insane found the grounds in fine shape, 

 the bedding out having been finished 

 some time ago. August Le Clere de- 

 serves much credit for his work. 



J. F. Keller, manager of the John A. 

 Keller estate, is receiving congratula- 

 tions. It's a girl this time. 



The display of hardy flowering shrub- 

 bery, peonies, iris, roses, etc., seen in 

 this vicinity this spring has been the 

 best for several seasons. 



Anders Rasmussen, of New Albany, 

 Ind., accompanied by his wife, niece 

 and Mrs. Bauman, of Louisville, Ky., 

 spent Sunday, May 24, in this city and 

 vicinity. Mr. Rasmussen is an enthusi- 

 astic automobilist. 



Other recent visitors were: G. A. 

 Metcalfe, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chi- 

 cago; O. C. Heberling, of Georgetown, 

 Ky.; Mr. Lerobke, of the W. W. Bar- 

 nard Co., Chicago, and Louis D. Singer, 

 of Harrodsburg, Ky. J. P. K.
