LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market 



Business continues quiet, and summer 

 prices prevail. The only thing worth 

 mentioning was the funeral of Harry 

 G. Pulliam, the president of the National 

 League of Baseball Clubs. More flowers 

 were seen at this funeral than at any 

 other in the last year. All designs were 

 large and attractive. Asters are the one 

 best bet. Boses are about equal to the 

 demand, but have short stems. Carna- 

 tions are about all in for this summer. 

 Hardy hydrangeas are in full bloom, and 

 are plentiful. Other summer flowers are 

 abundant. 



Vaftotti Notes. 



William Walker has all of his carna- 

 tions and roses planted, and the place is 

 in tip-top shape. All the stock is looking 

 fine. Mr. Walker has a bench each of 

 My Maryland and Ballarney, and a few 

 White Killarney on trial, and they are 

 looking fine. His mums are also looking 

 thrifty. 



Jacob Schulz has his carnation houses 

 planted, and the stock is looking well. 

 Some good mums are also to be seen 

 there. 



A visit at the place of Anders Eas- 

 mussen, in New Albany, Ind., showed the 

 young stock looking fine. Mr. Easmus- 

 sen has about 75,000 feet of modern glass 

 devoted to roses and carnations. The 

 boys are still busy planting, but will 

 finish in two weeks. About 25,000 carna- 

 tions are grown there, the three En- 

 chantress varieties leading. Beacon is 

 the best red; O. P. Bassett, Lawson and 

 Winsor are also grown. Mr. Basmussen 

 grows his carnations in beds. He puts 

 up boards about six inches high, digs out 

 about six inches of soil, and puts in 

 cinders, then places boards on top of 

 cinders and then about five inches of soil, 

 and finally puts in the plants about six 

 inches apart. When lifting, he cuts be- 

 tween the rows with a sharp knife and 

 raises the plants with a nice ball and 

 all of the roots. The plants wilt little 

 when benched, and taking hold in a few 

 days, keep on growing. 



The Wittbold system is used for water- 

 ing. Mr. Kasmussen has been growing 

 carnations in this way for three years, 

 and thinks it the ideal way. Besides 

 carnations, 3,000 Killarney, 4,000 Rich- 

 mond, 2,000 Beauties, 3,000 Maids, 2,000 

 Brides, 1,000 Golden Gate, 1,000 Ivory 

 and 500 My Maryland are grown. A few 

 White Killarney will also be given a 

 trial. Mr. Basmussen disposes of most

Buckskin Greenhouse Hose 



^.Ineb, 15o p«r loot, oonplad, f. o. b. Detroit. 



FurniBhed in continnous lengths of 500 feet, without seam, joint or 



connection, in }i and U inch sizes only. An exceptionally high-grade 



Florists' hose; with a double woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, 



and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. 



The double woven jacket conBtruction makei a stroDKer hose than can be obtained 

 from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover openlDK at seam— 

 a common cause of failure of garden hose made on cotton duck. This construotlon 

 also sives a more flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. 



Buckskin Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of 600 pounds per 

 square inch, although its bursting pressure is far in excess of this.

 He also has a nice retail trade in his 

 home town. Only a few mums are 

 grown for his own trade. 



There will be a big crowd going to the 

 convention from here. The packet boat, 

 which leaves the foot of Third street, 

 Monday, August 16, will carry most of 

 them.
