The Florists' Review 



February 13, 1913. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



During the last week business has 

 •been good. Although the weather has 

 been cold and the days cloudy, natu- 

 rally causing the supply of cut flowers 

 to slacken, this did not work any great 

 hardship, as the various stores were 

 fortunate enough to be able to get a 

 fine variety of blooming plants, such 

 as azaleas. Primula obconica and mala- 

 coides, jonquils, tulips, hyacinths and 

 rhododendrons. These plants sold un- 

 usually well. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Kentucky Society of Florists was held 

 at the residence of J. B. Stuessy, the 

 newly elected president. An interest- 

 ing paper, "The Advantages and Dis- 

 advantages of the Flower Business," 

 by H. Kleinstarink, Jr., was read and 

 discussed. Mr. Kleinstarink, being 

 quite a young fellow, deserves great 

 credit for the good sense displayed in 

 the composition of this paper, 



Anders Rasmussen, of New Albany, 

 Ind,, is sending some fine Killarney 

 roses and some splendid carnations to 

 the local market, and they find a ready 

 -sale. 



It is to be regretted that at this sea- 

 son of the year so many of the stores 

 hold 25-cent carnation sales. It is hard 

 to believe that there are any advan- 

 tages to be gained from such sales at 

 this time of the year. 



The prospects for a nice St, Valen- 

 tine's day business are bright. With 

 just a little more interest displayed on 

 -the part of the florists, this day cer- 

 tainly can be worked to make it one 

 of the big flower days of the year. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, is 

 calling on the trade this week. 



G. E. S. 



Gorham, Me,— Roland Barrows has 

 had excellent success since starting in 

 business here a few years ago and is 

 preparing to add another greenhouse, 

 35x100, as soon as the frost is out of 

 the ground. Lord & Burnham Co. has 

 the contract. 



Grand Rapids, Mich.— Herbert Haf- 

 tenkamp lias filed suit in the circuit 

 court against Frank P. Goebel for 

 money which he alleges is due him by 

 reason of a «ontract which existed be- 

 tween the two at the time they were in 

 the greenhouse business in Wabash, Ind. 

 Mr. Haftenkamp alleges that during 

 the five years of the partnership he fur- 

 nished the money to run the business 

 while Goebel kept the books.
