The Weekly Florists^ Review; 



APRIL 29, 1909. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market 



Business conditions are satisfactory, 

 and have been so since Easter. The 

 weather is about all that could be de- 

 sired. Funeral work has been keeping 

 the florists busy of late. The death of 

 the late Col. Charles J. Bronston created 

 quite a demand for flowers. A six-foot 

 broken wheel, made by Honaker The 

 Florist, was especially pretty. Other 

 floral offerings were numerous and beau- 

 tiful, 



Roses and carnations are of good 

 quality. Geraniums and other bedding 

 plants are plentiful this year, and are 

 seen anywhere and everywhere. Quanti- 

 ties of cut flowers are shipped to the 

 small neighboring towns. Lexington is 

 becoming quite a cut flower center. Some 

 of the growers contemplate the erection 

 of more houses. 



Variotu Notes. 



It is reported that F. W. Meyer, who 

 was formerly florist and landscape gar- 

 dener at the State College, Ames, la., 

 has leased the greenhouses of Mrs. E. C. 

 Henry, at Frankfort, Ky., and will grow 

 a general line of stock for the wholesale 

 and retail trade. 



J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the 

 J. A. Keller estate, is particularly busy 

 with spring stock. They have a good 

 supply of geraniums and other bedding 

 plants, and expect a good cemetery trade. 



Some of the florists have started 

 wagons out in the streets selling plants. 



John Krahenbuhl, gardener to Mrs. A. 

 J. Alexander, Woodburn Farm, Spring 

 Station, Ky., was a recent visitor here, 

 and called on Lucien Leclere at the 

 South Broadway greenhouses. 



Thousands of people were in town last 

 week for the spring races, which created 

 a good demand for stock. 



Blue Grass. 



Ravenna, O. — A greenhouse may be 

 established in Maple Grove cemetery. 



Albany, N. Y. — Bids were received by 

 the board of contract April 19 for a 

 new greenhouse and heating plant for 

 the bureau of parks. 



TJtica, N. Y. — Peter Crowe entertained 

 a party of city officials and business men 

 at his residence, 710 Genesee street, April 

 22, in a most enjoyable manner. Mr. 

 Crowe exhibited to his visitors fine 

 blooms of the White Killarney rose. 

 Cards were played, refreshments were 

 served and the evening proved one of 

 rare pleasure for all present. Mr. Crowe 

 recently visited Rochester and Buffalo on 

 business.
