The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Septdmbbb 21, 1911. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Business for the last two weeks has 

 been fairly good. Several big funeral 

 orders helped out nicely and kept stock 

 cleaned up fairly well. There will be 

 a good many fall openings in the dif- 

 ferent department stores within the 

 next week or ten days, and trade will 

 improve right along, as a good many 

 of the openings will require decora- 

 tions of some kind and the florist usu- 

 ally gets his share of the work. Asters, 

 carnations and roses are the main 

 standbys. Asters are not as good as 

 a week ago; they are on the wane and 

 a few more days will find them a thing 

 of the past. Carnations are still short- 

 stemmed, but are improving daily. 

 Boses are in good condition and con- 

 tinue to improve. A few dahlias are 

 coming in; they will be quite plentiful 

 in a few days. 



The State Fair. 



Last week was state fair week and 

 most of the store men entered in 

 some or all of the classes. The biggest 

 and beat display shown here in a ^p^ 

 many years was to be seen, and/vfii*' ' 

 enjoyed by the throng that madfe' ftk ' 

 way through the aisles, banked on the 

 one side with palms, ferns and various 

 bedding and foliage plants, and on the 

 other with cut flowers of all varieties. 



C. L. Brunson, superintendent, and 

 his assistant, Jesse W. Wright, were 

 in charge of the plants and flow- 

 ers; they are hustlers and deserve much 

 credit for their work. There is no tell- 

 ing what thej- would do with better 

 facilities, which at present are poor. 

 The display has grown steadily since 

 they have been in charge. Paul M. 

 Halbrooks, of the Columbus Floral Co., 

 Columbus, O., and Mrs. Harry I. Bishop, 

 a local society woman, were the judges.
