The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



JUKS 2, 1910. 



LOXnSVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Business since last report has been 

 good. We are in the midst of the 

 planting season, which, owing to some 

 unfavorable weather, was delayed con- 

 siderably, and those that follow this 

 line largely are kept on the jump con- 

 tinuously and are taking advantage of 

 every good day. With a few more 

 good days, this work will be wound 

 up nicely, although a good many strag- 

 gling orders will be booked until the 

 latter part of June. 



Geranium plants at $1.50 per dozen 

 are getting to be the thing with us 

 and a majority of the florists are get- 

 ting that price for them. Although 

 two grades are shown, customers pre- 

 fer the big plants, which are the pick 

 of the lot. The small plants are the 

 $1 grade, and the most of these that 

 are unsold grow into $1.50 stock in a 

 week or two. Three or four years ago 

 the Kentucky Society of Florists held 

 a meeting for the purpose of raising 

 the prices on 4-inch geraniums and 

 other bedding stock, but could not come 

 to any agreement, as a majority 

 thought that would kill the sale of 

 bedding stock. They were badly fooled, 

 however, and those who are still sell- 

 ing them at $1 are just 50 cents out, 

 and are beginning to realize that it is 

 not such a hard matter to get a little 

 more for your stock if you grow it a 

 little better. 



Window boxes are getting quite pop- 

 ular and a few more have been filled 

 this year than formerly. 



Cut flowers for all occasions have 

 had a good, steady call, and all stock 

 is in good shape. Carnations are hold- 

 ing up well and some good stock is 

 being cut, considering the season. Some 

 fine roses are to be had and in good 

 quantities. Peonies are on the move. 

 A few outdoor peas are coming in, but 

 the bulk are indoor grown and are 

 satisfactory in both quality and quan- 

 tity. Other cut flowers are in good 

 shape. Green goods are again in fair 

 supply. 



VariOQs Notes. 



The wholesale grocers' convention, 

 which took place last week, was about 

 the finest thing in the way of a con- 

 vention that has hit this city for a 

 long while, from the florists' stand- 

 point. Jacob Schulz furnished 350 Eich- 

 raond roses and 250 Beauties for the 

 grocerymen. 



A. Easmussen continues to cut some 

 good Killarneys, Brides and other roses. 



Geo. E. Schulz will build a handsome 

 residence in Kenilworth place this sum- 

 mier. Work will be started in a few 

 days. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson has had several 

 pretty window displays. K. B. 



Franklin, Mass. — ^William Doel, of 

 Pascoag, has taken possession of the 

 Slade greenhouses and is ready for 

 business.
