The Weekly Florists* Review. 



Ds^BMBte 24, 1908. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market. 



Last week was a busy one. There are 

 about enough roses, carnations and other 

 flowers to supply the demand. Holly, 

 green and immortelle wreathing are hav- 

 ing a good run. 



Some good Begonia Gloire de Lor- 

 raine, poinsettias and cyclamens are seen 

 in downtown stores this year. Sweet 

 peas of good quality are coming in and 

 bring good prices at present. Violets, 

 lily of the valley, narcissi and other 

 bulbous stock are in good supply and 

 demand. Much stevia is used in funeral 

 work and it is well liked here. Green 

 goods are in good supply and demand. 



Various Notes. 



Shearer The Florist, at "Winchester, has 

 opened a downtown store. He will build 

 two houses, 32x200, for roses and carna- 

 tions the coming summer. 



James P. Keller was in Cincinnati re- 

 cently. An excellent lot of plants was 

 seen in his downtown store. 



The writer took a stroll over to the 

 State University last Sunday and found 

 the greenhouses in good shape. The new 

 house is one of the best to be seen in 

 this section. 



John A. Keller's carnations are the 

 best ever seen in this vicinity. 



Lucien Leclere 's primulas are fine. He 

 says they are the best he ever had. 



Frank McMuUen has been very busy of 

 late. Blue Grass. 



Greenwich, Conn. — Probably the 

 largest decoration ever put up here was 

 for the dinner and dance recently given 

 by Mrs. James Everard. MacMillen & 

 Co. had the order and Robert MacMillen 

 reports using, among other things, 1,500 

 strings of smilax, 500 mums, 350 orchids, 

 and 400 yards of ribbon.
