LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Kentucky Society of Florists 

 held its January meeting at Anders 

 Rasmussen's establishment, 1108 Vin- 

 cennes street, New Albany, Ind., 

 Wednesday afternoon, January 3. Pres- 

 ident G. Robert Miller called the meet- 

 ing to order and, after the minutes of 

 the December meeting were approved, 

 in a few fitting words installed the fol- 

 lowing officers for 1912: 



President — Anders Rasmussen. 



Vice-president — H. Kleinstarink. 



Corresponding Secretary — August K. 

 Baumer. 



. Financial Secretary — Gus Kleinsteu- 

 ber. 



Treasurer — Frank Kleinsteuber. 



Sergeant-at-arms — Joseph Molck. 



Trustee — Joseph Losson. 



President Rasmussen, in accepting 

 the chair, gave the members a short talk 

 on what could be done by cooperation, 

 and to stimulate the interest already 

 manifest he offered three prizes for 

 the best three papers, prepared by the 

 members, upon subjects pertaining to 

 our business. These papers are not to 

 be signed, but to be sent to the presi- 

 dent with a card of the author, and he 

 will number them and they will then 

 be read at the monthly meetings and at 

 the end of the year a committee of 

 members who have not entered papers 

 will be named to judge the papers. 



The next regular meeting of the 

 society will be held at the store of 

 Henry Fuchs, Wednesday evening, 

 February 7. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade last week was good, but flow- 

 ers are none too plentiful. Those of- 

 fered include carnations, roses, violets, 

 sweet peas, snapdragons, lilies, Paper 

 Whites and stevia, but the latter are 

 Hearing the end. A few freesias are 

 putting in an appearance and flowering 

 plants are in good demand. 



The severe cold spell which struck 

 us last week has forced the growers to 

 pile on coal to keep the houses from 

 freezing up. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. P. Feirce had a nice window 

 display last week. As his store is white, 

 everything colored shows up beauti- 

 fully. 



It is rumored that Peter Murray, of 

 Fairhaven, will build another big green- 

 house and open a retail store in this 

 city. Mr. Murray has quite a large 

 range and everything is in fine shape. 



E. Y. Peirce's roses are looking espe- 

 cially fine. 



R. H. Woodhouse has a fine lot of 

 Bride and Maid roses. W. L. 



Raymond, N. H. — Irvin Folsom is pre- 

 paring for a busy season in the early 

 spring. He grows flower and vegetable 

 plants for spring sales and does not 

 handle cut flowers.

THE EUREKA CARNATION SUPPORT 



Use this method and you will 

 never regret It. I have had more 

 thun 20 years' experience, and have 

 used from tying the plants to a 

 wooden stake method on up to the 

 present. Why la It they are making 

 a two ring support Instead of one 

 nowadays? Because It Is more 

 economical. Now, I have taken a 

 leap with same Idea In view, only 

 the material I use is half made, all 

 ready, takes no machinery, no spe- 

 cial labor. The ring supports are 

 not a very profitable investment for 

 anyone, manufacturer or florist; 

 never have become popular, because 

 they do not fill th^ bill. If any one 

 wants one or more ring supports they 

 can be made by far cheaper from the 

 material I use than any other. But 

 why fool away your time over individuality when you can do a whole row of plants up 

 far better in nearly the same time? Why shove! coal when you can dump a whole cart 

 load just as well? Some seem to think, because No. 18 wire and cotton string are cheaper, 

 they are employing a very economical method. But there is a little narrowness In thla 

 thought, and no excuse whatever now for using such. I plant 11x8 Inches. I And thla 

 most economical and satisfactory for large plants. I have at least 6 Inches of clear space 

 between each row, and plants have lots of room in the right direction; they get the 

 direct sunlight between the rows; they are not strewn broadcast all over the bed like a 

 wheat field. I do not cut buds for flowers, or string by mistake, and I can see all the 

 dry spots plainly. I do not break flowers by running my arm among the plants. It will 

 support sprawly Pink Delight and White Perfection as well as any other carnation. 

 Since using this method our plants look 25 per cent better. If after paying for the permit 

 and instructions any reliable florist has tried It thoroughly and is dissatisfied in any way, 

 upon return of the permit I will refund him the amount paid. I want to do satisfactory 

 business or none at all. Experience has taught me that this method of supporting 

 carnations is the most efficient and economical, and experience has theory beaten to death. 

 Nearly everyone entering our houses gives his unsolicited favorable comments, and the 

 proof of what I say is before me dally. Send $5.00 for permit and instructions. In- 

 fringements or using without permission may cost more.
