LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market 



The long, dreary summer days are 

 about over and business is gradually re- 

 viving. Although flowers are not any 

 too plentiful and have not been for the 

 past month, there are just about enough 

 to meet the demand, which at no time 

 has been heavy. Eoses are the best 

 stock. Asters are on the wane and will 

 be gone in a few days. Some few car- 

 nations arc coining in ; being cut from 

 young stock, the stems are short, but 

 they come in handy. Some yeUow mums 

 are to be seen and they are having a 

 few calls. 



The prospects for good stock next win- 

 ter were never brighter. Carnations are 

 looking exceptionally well. Roses are 

 in grand shape and the mums are hard 

 to beat. Some good cyclamens are to be 

 seen in 5-inch to 7-inch pots, and other 

 stock is in good shape. 



Various Note*. 



This is State Fair week and a lot of 

 visitors are in town. Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Chicago, sent down a fine lot of roses, 

 for exhibition, not for competition. It

 flower section, 



Mrs, C, B, Thompson and niece, Miss 

 Elfa, Abel, have been at Bay View, 

 Mich., for the last three weeks. They 

 will stop at Chicago on the way home.
