The Wccldy Florists^ Rcvicw# 



Apbil 22, 1909. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market 



Easter sales this season ran about 

 twenty per cent over those of last Eas- 

 ter. Everything in plants sold well, at 

 E rices about the same as last Easter, 

 lilies, of course, were in great demand, 

 but the supply was short. Azaleas, spi- 

 rsBES, rhododendrons, primulas, cinera- 

 rias, lily of the valley and bulbous stock 

 in pots and pans were in good demand. 

 Eambler roses, such as Crimson Eambler, 

 Dorothy Perkins, etc., were good and 

 plentiful and sold all the way from 50 

 cents to $5 each, depending upon the 

 size and quality. Hydrangeas were of 

 fairly good quality, but were not as 

 plentiful as in former years. 



All the florists had a good cut of 

 roses, carnations, violets, narcissi, jon- 

 quils, valley, violets and bulbous stock. 

 Beauties were in good demand. Carna- 

 tions were good and had a brisk demand. 

 Good tulips also sold well. Violets were 

 good, but the supply was somewhat short. 

 Lilies sold at $3 per dozen, cut. 

 Weather conditions were excellent. 



Various Notes. 



James P. Keller had a magnificent dis- 

 play at the downtown store on Main 

 street. His spiraeas were of exceptionally 

 good quality. Cut flowers were in great 

 demand with him, at prices attbut the 

 same as last year. He reports sales 

 about twenty per cent over those of last 

 Easter. The firm has also been very busy 

 with funeral work for the last three 

 • weeks. 



S. S. Kelley, at Clifton Heights, had 

 a fine lot of plants and sold everything 

 he could lay his hands on. He says cut 

 flowers were in good demand also. Fu- 

 neral work, also, has been plentiful at his 

 place of late. 



Lucien Le Clere, manager for his 

 father, reports a much better business in 

 both cut flowers and plants than he an- 

 ticipated. His Dorothy Perkins and other 

 rambler roses were especially good. 



Honaker's store, which is one of the 

 finest and most commodious in this city, 

 was beautifully decorated with lilies and 

 other plants. They also had a good cut 

 of roses and carnations. 



The Michler Bros. Co., on Maxwell 

 street, took care of the business in that 

 section of the city. 



William Bell had a large decoration in 

 Paris, Ky., last week. Quantities of cut 

 flowers were used. 



Anderson & White are busy with spring 

 stock at their greenhouses. They report 

 a satisfactory Easter. 



Kecent visitors were Grover Shearer, 

 of Winchester, Ky., and Andy McMullen, 

 florist at Natural Bridge, Ky.
