The Florists^ Review 



February 26, 1914. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Tlie Market. 



Local florists are congratulating 

 themselves on being, still alive and kick- 

 ing, after pulling through the weather 

 of last week. February 15 and 16 we 

 had blizzard weather, with the tempera- 

 ture around zero. February 17 was 

 warmer and February 18 the tempera- 

 ture was 50 degrees, and we had rain. 

 Though the weather was of the worst, 

 little damage was done to greenhouses 

 beyond a few broken panes. The latter 

 half of the week brought fine, bright 

 weather, and business was on the boom. 

 February 21 was an unusually busy 

 day, Washington's birthday being cele- 

 brated with numerous parties and 

 dances. All kinds of cut flowers were 

 much in demand. Louisville had no 

 official Mardi Gras celebration, but pri- 

 vate festivities were numerous and 

 elaborate. February 24 being the last 

 day before Lent, quite a number of 

 weddings are reported. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Haupt had the decorations for 

 the L. & N. Traffic Club banquet at the 

 Seelbach February 21. Palms and ferns 

 were used. 



There is a good supply of tulips, hy- 

 acinths and jonquils, with the demand 

 equal to the supply. 



John Skrobanek is sending in some 

 fine jonquils, bicolor Victoria. Mr. 

 Skrobanek has partly recuperated from 

 his recent disastrous fire and hopes to 

 have his stock in first-class shape by 

 Easter. Miss Clara Stussey reports a 

 net profit of $105 out of the proceeds 

 of the benefit given by the Kentucky 

 Society of Florists for Mr. Skrobanek. 

 This amount has been turned over to 

 him. The next meeting of the society 

 will be at the store of August Baumer, 

 Wednesday evening, March .4, at 8 p. m. 



The new Nanz & Neuner Co. had a 

 neat win'dow display featuring Wash- 

 ington's birthday, flags and a portrait 

 of Washington being used. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson is spending sev- 

 eral weeks in the south. She will be 

 in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras 

 festivities, after which she will visit 

 several Florida resorts, including Palm 

 Beach. She will also spend several 

 days at Atlanta, Ga. 



Beutel & Frederick say things are a 

 little quiet in their locality. 



Henry Fuchs is settled in his new 

 store on Fourth avenue, near Broad- 

 way^ and says he likes it better than 

 his old stand. Mr. Fuchs was forced 

 to move from 552 Fourth avenue, as 

 his neighbor, the Peter Zaami Co., 

 bought his lease and has added his 

 space to its own. E. J. S. 



Lynn, Mass. — Kimball Bros, have 

 gone out of business, as C. S. Kimball 

 has retired from the florists' business 

 since the death of his brother.

IT 



DF YOU ONLY KNEW what a Kood eave 

 the METROPOLITAN PATENTED is. 



you wctuld use no other. It is made of 

 cast iron and will not rust. That part of 

 your greenhouse which in other constructions 

 is tbe weakest becomes tbe strongest. Not 

 this alone, it is ice-clearing and carries all 

 the water of condensation from the inside, 

 and it is so constructed that almost the entire end 

 of the bar is exposed to the air, thereby preventing 

 decay. Only one screw, about two inches from the 

 end, is all that is necessary to secure the bars. For 

 side stationary glass, wood headers are absolutely 

 unnecessary, thereby causing no shade. Zinc glass 

 stops are not necessary— the eave is made with a lug 

 to prevent the glass from slipping. Let your next 

 house be built with a Matropolltan Patantad 

 Iron Wall Construction. You will never regret 

 it. Our price and service are right.
