The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 8, 1909. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market 



The extreme heat of last week caused 

 society folk to depart rapidly, and in 

 consequence business is practically at a 

 standstill, except some funeral work 

 every now and then. Building and re- 

 modeling greenhouses and benches, to 

 better the facilities, are now the most 

 important things on the docket. 



Roses and carnations of all kinds are 

 showing the effects of the hot weather, 

 and are becoming harder to move and 

 lower in prices. Some excellent gladioli 

 have been seen in the downtown stores 

 of late and they retail for $1.50 per 

 dozen. Sweet peas are abundant and 

 have slow sales. Some of the florists are 

 cutting excellent snapdragons at pres- 

 ent. Other outdoor flowers are abun- 

 dant. Green goods are in good supply. 

 Chrysanthemums are looking well with 

 all the florists, and the indications are 

 that there will be a good supply of them 

 this year. 



Various Notes. 



Jas. P. Keller, at the downtown store 

 on Main street, is all smiles. It is a girl 

 this time. 



David Honaker has been on the sick 

 list, but is now able to be out again. 



The Michler Bros. Co. has been quite 

 busy of late with funeral work. 



Prof. E. J. Kinney, who is assistant 

 to Prof. H. Garman, of the Experiment 

 Station, will leave here soon for his an- 

 nual tour of inspection of the various 

 nurseries of the state. He will begin 

 with the nursery of H. P. Hillenmeyer 

 & Son, of this city, and from here will 

 proceed to the other large nurseries of 

 the state. This tour will occupy about 

 two months, as he must revisit nurseries 

 when necessary and treat diseased trees. 

 Prof. Garman is busy at present prepar- 

 ing samples of injurious weed pests, 

 which are to be exhibited at the Blue 

 Grass and State fairs. Among the more 

 injurious varieties exhibited will be 

 horse nettle, clover dodder, alfalfa dod- 

 der, cheat and corn cockles. 



From all reports there will be a good 

 delegation from here to the convention. 



The leading business houses are clos- 

 ing their stores at 5 p. m. and the 

 florists are thinking of doing likewise. 



J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the 

 J. A. Keller estate, was in Cincinnati, 

 O., recently. Blue Grass. 



The ad we had in your paper the last 

 two months certainly kept us what they 

 call "humping," for orders came in every 

 day and they are coming yet. I am cer- 

 tainly more than satisfied.— William 

 Ehmann, Corfu, N. Y.
