LOXnSVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Business for the last month has 

 been all that could be expected. Fu- 

 neral work has been the main factor, 

 and has created a good, steady demand. 

 Stock has been in fairly good supply. 

 The quality has been good, considering 

 the warm weather. 



Some good asters have been coming 

 in and have had the call over roses 

 and other stock. Boses are in good 

 supply and the best stock sells fairly 

 well. Some few dahlias are coming in. 

 Their stems are a little short, which 

 kills them as cut flowers, but they fill 

 in well for funeral work. Carnations 

 are short-stemmed, owing to the fact 

 that they are being cut from young 

 stock, which is in good shape and gives 

 promise of a big yield for the winter 

 months. Gladioli have been about 

 cut out, but a few are still coming in 

 and sell fairly well. Hardy hydrangeas 

 are about cut out. A few other sum- 

 mer flowers are to be had and fill in 

 nicely. 



Various Notes. 



Most of the local florists who attend- 

 ed the convention at Baltimore are back 

 in town. Although a little "peeved" 

 at not landing the 1912 convention, 

 they are aware of the fact that they 

 gave the "Windy City" a run for the 

 money, and will be on the job for that 

 1913 fracas. 



Anders Rasmussen, the New Albany 

 grower, is rebuilding the greenhouse 

 that was destroyed by a wind storm 

 August 12. The work is well under 

 way and will be completed in a few 

 weeks. K. R. 



Waterbury, Conn. — Alexander Dallas 

 has given an interest in the business to 

 his younger son, who has had an excel- 

 lent training for the post, and the name 

 of the firm is now Alexander Dallas & 

 Son. The greenhouse plant is being en- 

 tirely reconstructed. The contract for 

 removing the houses from the two for- 

 mer places is being carried out by the 

 Lord & Burnham Co. There is room 

 for expansion; the location is of the 

 best. In addition to several acres of 

 excellent soil, there is a pond which 

 will furnish all the ice needed for the 

 capacious storage cellar.
