The Weekly Florists' Review, 



January 21, 1909. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market. 



We are having some real winter 

 weather, but good business is reported 

 by all the florists. Sunshine is what we 

 need, as we have not had any in this 

 vicinity for a week. 



All downtown stores have been busy 

 with funeral work for the last two 

 weeks, and some good work has been 

 turned out. Business conditions in other 

 ways are satisfactory and have been so 

 since the holidays. 



Eoses and carnations are of fairly 

 good quality, considering the dark 

 weather we have had here. White Per- 

 fection and the Enchantress varieties are 

 the leaders here at present. Beacon is 

 considered the best all-around red. 



Sweet peas are constantly improving 

 and quantities are used in funeral work 

 by some of the florists. Lilium longi- 

 florum is of good quality. Lily of the 

 valley, Paper White narcissi, callas, 

 Roman hyacinths and other bulbous stock 

 are coming in. and the quality and de- 

 mand are fairly good. Green goods are 

 plentiful and are selling well. There ♦re 

 some good plants in some of the down- 

 town stores, such as azaleas, cyclamens, 

 etc. 



Various Notes. 



Otto Heberling, of the Georgetown 

 Floral Co., Georgetown, Ky., was a re- 

 cent visitor here. 



S. S. Kelley is serving on the petit 

 jury. 



William Bell has been very busy with 

 funeral work. Miss Elizabeth Lyle, his 

 saleslady and designer, will attend the 

 carnation convention at Indianapolis. 

 Miss Lyle has been with Mr. Bell about 

 four or five years, and is a highly com- 

 petent designer. 



Louis A. Michler, of the Michler Bros. 

 Co., reports a fairly good business. 



H. F. Hillenmeyer, the nurseryman, is 

 particularly busy these days. 



Blue Grass. 



Easpeburg, Md. — John P. Willheim 

 has a prosperous business, with about an 

 acre under glass. 



Cromwell, Conn. — A. N. Pierson is 

 erecting another greenhouse, to be used 

 tor grafted roses. 



Mr. Mam Man 



I presume you received my catalog 

 of new and standard chrysanthemums. 



I presume you also know that I won 

 the two principal classes of 40 varie- 

 ties in Chicago ; and also the Silver 

 Medal for best collection of singles. 

 If you are a customer of mine you do 

 not wonder at it. If you are not a 

 customer don't you think it's time 

 we got acquainted ? There's a reason. 

 So send for my list if you did not 

 receive it.
