The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Adoust 5, 1000. 



LEXINGTON. KY. 



Tlie Market. 



The usual summer quietness prevails, 

 there being little except an occasional 

 design to interrupt our day dreams. 

 Stock in roses is limited, and those com- 

 ing in are of the most ordinary variety. 

 Asters are arriving in limited quantities, 

 and other outdoor stock is plentiful 

 enough to fill all orders. 



Most of the growers here have all 

 their carnations benched, and the stock 

 is looking well. Some of the growers are 

 cutting Lilium auratum and speciosum, 

 which are used for designing and dec- 

 orating. Sweet peas are about done for 

 this season. What few are left are of 

 poor quality, with short stems. 



We are still having warm weather and 

 plenty of rain. 



Vaiious Notes. 



James Murray, one of the veteran flo- 

 rists and landscape gardeners of this 

 city, died at the Good Samaritan hospital 

 last week, of paralysis, after an illness 

 of scarcely a week. His wife died last 

 November, and he has been in feeble 

 health for some time. He leaves no fam- 

 ily and has no relatives in this country. 

 A sister, Mrs. Jessie Bolson, lives in Car- 

 lisle, England. Mr. Murray was born in 

 Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, in 1848, 

 and came to America at the age of 25 

 years. He had lived in this city during 

 practically all of the years of his life in 

 this country. For many years he was an 

 assistant to Superintendent Bell, at the 

 Lexington cemetery, and later was gar- 

 dener and florist at the State College, 

 which position he held until a year or 

 two ago. He was an exceptionally com- 

 petent man, and had many friends among 

 those for whom he worked from time to 

 time. Funeral services were held at the 

 cemetery chapel, Friday, July 30, con- 

 ducted by Eev. Morris, of Centenary M. 

 E. church, and the body was laid to rest 

 under the shade of the trees he had 

 helped to plant and care for in his earlier 

 days. 



The Michler Bros. Co. is just begin- 

 ning the erection of a greenhouse, 20x 

 100, which will be used for carnations. 



A carnation house, 28x200 is also being 

 erected at the J. A. Keller estate. 



Blue Grass. 



Omaha, Neb. — The members of the 

 Omaha Florists' Club picnicked at Ma- 

 nawa July 29, afternoon and evening.

 on arrangements. On account of the pic- 

 nic all florists ' establishments were closed

This is decidedly one of the most beautiful and profitable plants introduced in many years. It attains a height

 naturally of a compact, bushy form, and blossoms continu9usly from October to April, making an ideal plant for
