The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



July 1, 1909. 



LOUISVILLE. KY. 



The Market. 



Business last week was all that could 

 be Expected for this time of the year. 

 We are having a spell of hot weather and 

 indoor stock is showing the effects. Good 

 roses and carnations are hard to find. 

 A good many of the growers will com- 

 mence to replant carnations in a week 

 or ten days. Hoses are being dried oflf 

 and some are tying them down now. 



Sweet peas are not as plentiful as they 

 were the week before; still there is no 

 shortage. Daisies have been added to the 

 list of outdoor flowers, which are quite 

 plentiful. Some good gladioli are seen 

 in the show windows. Green goods, such 

 as smilax and asparagus, are still plenti- 

 fuj, while fern leaves are as good as cash. 



Various Notes. 



Nanz & Neuner are displaying a hardy 

 and garden flowers in their show window, 

 in many varieties. 



The Greek has been having a special 

 sale of carnations and roses, selling them 

 at 25 cents per dozen. He sold some 

 long-stemmed Beauties at $2 per dozen. 

 The stock was of good quality, although 

 the roses were short-stemmed, about ten 

 to fourteen inches long. All the flowers 

 were shipped from the Chicago market.

Current Conunent 



There is the usual slackening of busi- 

 ness after the spring and Decoration day 

 rush, but no one complains, for trade in 

 the busy season of 1909 has been good 

 indeed, despite the unfavorable weather, 

 the cold lasting right up to June and 

 the rain at the time of writing being 

 still in evidence. The people of this state 

 usually pride themselves on their climate, 

 but even the most patriotic of them have 

 climbed down recently when the weather 

 topic has been f rought forward, such has 

 been the heavy and continual rainfall. 

 Strange to say, the floods which usually 

 follow exceptional rains have not come, 

 and last year's washouts have fortu- 

 nately not been repeated. The farmer 

 is one of the few individuals who rejoice 

 at the antics of Jupiter Pluvius, while 

 the florist mourns the absence of old 

 Sol and expects every moment to hear 

 of delay on the railroads and the conse- 

 quent ruination of his shipments. 



The State Nursery Co., Charles Horn 

 and the Helena Floral Co. are all boom- 

 ing. The first-named institution, which 

 is adding to its houses this summer, has 

 had a record season in all departments; 

 seeds, trees, plants, cut flowers, imple- 

 ments, etc., have been shipped in great 

 quantities, and the slacker season is, for 

 a time at any rate, welcomed by all 

 after the efforts of the last few months.
