LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The Market. 



Business for the last fortnight has 

 been good. Lent seems to have no 

 effect on it. Stock of all kinds is in 

 good supply and the quality also is good. 

 Potted stock is having a good, steady 

 call and some choice plants are to be 

 had. The supply of bulbous stock has 

 been a little short, as a good many 

 growers have been trying to hold their 

 stock until Easter, but at present the 

 prospects are slim, and it is a risky 

 thing to hold stock of this nature in 

 this locality when Easter falls at so late 

 a date. The warm weather which we 

 may expect certainly plays havoc with 

 it. There are a good many other plants 

 that are far more satisfactory for this 

 day and a few growers here are begin- 

 ning to realize it and are drawing away 

 from the Dutch bulbs. Some good 

 azaleas, rhododendrons, lilac, astilbes, 

 daisies, genistas and a few other flow- 

 ering plants are to be seen and will be 

 on time for the occasion. A big short- 

 age in lilies will be felt here. 



In the way of cut flowers we are well 

 supplied, but most of the roses and car- 

 nations handled here at Easter are 

 shipped in from Chicago and other large 

 markets, as the cut here amounts to 

 little at such a time when compared 

 with the demand. Some sweet peas are 

 coming in and are selling well. Valley 

 and orchids are the one best bet for 

 corsage bouquets, as violets are a thing 

 of the past here. Among other things 

 that are hard to get hold of are good 

 Beauties, which are as scarce as hens' 

 teeth. Other roses and carnations are in 

 good supply. Some few snapdragons 

 and a few other spring flowers are com- 

 ing in and are selling well. Greens of 

 all kinds have been hard to get at any 

 price. 



Various Notes. 



The various department stores and 

 millinery shops are having their annual 

 spring openings and some decorations 

 are required. Everybody seems to be 

 getting a share of the work. 



The following local florists have re- 

 turned from the National Flower Show: 

 William Walker and his son, Lee, and 

 Geo. E. and Jacob Schulz. All are well 

 pleased with the time spent at the show 

 and are saying nothing but words of 

 praise for the Boston boys and the way 

 they did things. 



The Kentucky Society of Florists ac- 

 cepted the invitation extended by Will- 

 iam Walker to meet at his residence. 

 Highlands, Tuesday night, April 4, when 

 business regarding the 1911 convention 

 was on docket. K. E.
