The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Dbcbmbeb 17, 1908. 



LEXINGTON, Ky. 



The Market. 



Business has been good. There was 

 a good call for funeral work last week 

 and some good work was turned out. 

 Much stock is shipped to the small neigh- 

 boring towns, xiie quality is good. 



All the florists are busy preparing for 

 Christmas and the holidays. It seems 

 as if stock of all kinds will be plentiful. 

 Holly is coming in and the quality is 

 good. (Some good Beauties are coming 

 in at present. The demand for them is 

 good. Other roses are plentiful and 

 clean up fairly well. Mums are all 

 cleaned out. Carnations are in good 

 supply and demand. Callas, Harrisii 

 and other bulbous stock are coming in. 

 A^iolets" do a little better. Some good 

 sweet peas and stevia help to fill out in 

 funeral work. 



Green goods are plentiful. The favor- 

 able weather we have had here this fall 

 has cut down coal bills considerably. 



There will be some good azaleas, cycla- 

 mens, poinsettias, primulas and other 

 blooming plants for Christmas this year. 

 Some of the florists are busy making 

 holly wreaths. 



Various Notes. 



S. S. Kelley grows a general line of 

 stock and has the place in good condi- 

 tion. 



Anderson & AVhite have been busy with 

 funeral and decorative work. 



J. A. Keller contemplates building a 

 large house for carnations next summer. 

 The firm was busy with funeral work 

 last week. Mr. Keller's business seems 

 to Ije increasing rapidly of late. 



Joe Leclere was a visitor last week. 

 He says everything is dull in Versailles 

 at present. 



Honaker's had a good window of 

 Beauties last week at the store. It is 

 reported that they have a new rose 

 grower, from Chicago. 



The new greenhouse at the State Uni- 

 versitv is nearly completed. This is an 

 adjunct to the' botany department and 

 will greatly facilitate its experimental 

 work. 



Lucien Leclere has booked several or- 

 ders for flower beds to be planted the 



coming spring. 



Blue Grass. 



McKiKN'EY, Tex.— George W. Taylor 

 has done a fine business this fall — the 

 best in all his experience. His stock for 

 the coming season promises to be better 

 than ever.

What Our 

 Dip Prime 

 Means to your 

 Materials 



It means thoroughness. 



An absolute protecting prime. 



Go into any other factory 

 where the priming is done by 

 hand, and you will find boys 

 doing it. Boys spreading it 

 on thick and thin, and every 

 once in a while spots are 

 skipped altogether. 



Our Dip Prime gets at and 

 soaks into every inch of the 

 wood — ends and all. Soaks 

 up three times more oil than 

 if done by hand. 



Then we use only a pure 

 oxide of iron and a special 

 tested linseed oil. 



It pays to have us prime 

 for you, for on that prime 

 coat depends, in a great 

 measure, the lasting qualities 

 of the next coats. 



Send for our paint booklet 

 —it is full of just this kind of 

 paint sense.
