ERIE, PA. 



Christmas Trade. 



Christmas trade was good this year. 

 Everything in choice stock moved rap- 

 idly. Decorations were furnished for 

 several parties which were given Christ- 

 mas evening. Long poinsettias, cattleyas 

 and ardisias were used to good advantage 

 at these social functions. Some of the 

 leaders of society, who usually spend 

 the holidays in the metropolis, remained 

 in Erie this year, and added materially 

 to the success of the merchants. The 

 florists in particular are all well satis- 

 fied with the Christmas trade. 



Various Notes. 



The Erie Floral Co., of which H. J. 

 Wise is manager, sent large shipments 

 of roses and carnations to the William 

 F. Kasting Co., Buffalo, N. Y., for the 

 holidays. 



Miss Cora Hapgood helped in the 

 store of her uncle, John V. Laver, dur- 

 ing the Christmas rush. 



W. 0. Baur is visiting relatives in 

 Toledo, O. 



Vern Schlurafl did a large business in 

 his new retail store at Conneaut, 0. His 

 greenhouses in Erie were taxed to their 

 utmost capacity. 



Soman Olzewski, who went into the 

 retail business a short time ago, is doing 

 well in the Polish district. B. P. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Christmas trade was good; some of 

 the florists say it was the best they ever 

 had. Stock of all kinds was plentiful 

 and of good quality, with prices mod- 

 erate. HoUy was plentiful, but was of 

 poor quality. A good many of the whole- 

 sale fruit and commission houses han- 

 dled it this year, and the market was 

 overstocked with it. The first three days 

 of the week were ideal and brought out 

 the shoppers. 



Various Notes. 



H. Fuchs is well satisfied with his first 

 year's business on Fourth avenue. 



Nanz & Neuner sold a good many poin- 

 settias, which were grown at their green- 

 house and were fine. They also cut some 

 good carnations. 



Jacob Schulz reports that this Christ- 

 mas was equal to his Easter trade. He 

 had a good display of potted plants of 

 good quality. He also disposed of some 

 good Beauties and Richmond and other 

 cut flowers at good prices. 



F. Walker & Co. report the best Christ- 

 mas they ever had. Mr. Walker wrote a lit- 

 tle article for the local papers denying the 

 report that flowers would be high-priced. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson had a good win- 

 dow display, including a life-sized Santa 

 Claus. 



Wm. Walker had an elegant display 

 of potted plants and cut flowers, and re- 

 ports business better than ever. 



Fred L. Schulz reports business good. 

 The regular monthly meeting of the So- 

 ciety of Florists will be held at the store 

 of Mr. Schulz. The following oflScers 

 will be installed for 1909: President, 

 Fred L. Schulz; vice-president, Eobert 

 Miller; secretary, H. Kleinstarink ; treas- 

 urer, Joseph Wettle; financial secretary, 

 Louis Kirch; sergeant-at-arms, Wm. L. 

 Korb; trustee, H. Fuchs. 



At the last session of ihe bowling club, 

 Capt. Geo. L. Schulz 's team won three 

 straight from Capt. Will Walker's team. 

 Fred L. Schulz was high, with 201.
