The Market 



There was a decided lull in business 

 the latter part of last week, but aside 

 from this business has been quite satis- 

 factory for January. Stock piled up 

 some during the lull, but not enough to 

 bring down the prices. 



Hoses have been about equal to the 

 demand. Carnations have been a little 

 more than plentiful. A noticeable fea- 

 ture about the carnations was the over- 

 abundance of white. Many fine sweet 

 peas are on the market and meet with 

 good call. 



Bulbous stock is more than enough. 

 Nearly all the large store men grow 

 enough of this stock for their own 

 needs and the little that is sold at whole- 

 sale is not nearly enough to relieve the 

 market. Kobert Klagge, of Mount Clem- 

 ens, who is the largest wholesale grower 

 in this locality, has decided to give up 

 bulbous stock. 



Various Notes, 



Ferdinand Beyer, head gardener at 

 the Wayne county house, is the inventor 

 of a machine for scrubbing flower pots. 

 Common sand is applied in such a way 

 as to save much labor. Mr. Beyer claims 

 much for his invention and intends to 

 manufacture it as soon as some capital 

 can be interested. 



Breitmeyer's have the decorations for 

 the assembly ball at the Country Club. 



Schroeter's had an exceptionally heavy 

 run on funeral work the latter part of 

 last week, which kept the whole force 

 working overtime.

HONAKER, The Florist 



160 W. Main St., LEXINGTON. KY. 



mers who invaded this city the week 

 beginning January 27, one would think 

 there was a convention of florists' sales- 

 men here. They all seemed to strike 

 here the same day. Arnold Eingier was 

 introducing a new microscope and gave 

 a demonstration of its fine features to 



Cliarles Schwake which that gentleman 

 will not soon forget. 



Other visitors were: John Smith, of 

 William J. Boas, Philadelphia, and an 

 army of salesmen representing the Dutch 

 bulb growers. H. S.
