LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market. 



Business has been only fair since 

 Easter, the greatest quantity of stock 

 being used up in funeral work. Eoses, 

 carnations and lilies are plentiful and 

 of good quality. April certainly upheld 

 her reputation as a rainy month, there 

 being -t'wenty-one days of rain out of 

 the thirty. The florists are all busy 

 getting spring stock ready for outdoor 

 work, which begins here about May 10. 



Various Notes. 



By order of the court, the greenhouses 

 and property of W. S. Bell were sold 

 under the hammer during the week, the 

 buyer being Miss Fannie White, with 

 Michler Bros, as the contending bidder. 

 This property, being opposite the two 

 city cemeteries, is a splendid location. 

 Miss White will rebuild part of the old 

 houses this summer and eventually 

 move her entire business to her new 

 place. We wish her much success in 

 her new venture. 



Honaker the Florist is displaying an 

 excellent lot of stock. This firm in- 

 tends doing some building this year. 

 Quite a shipping trade' is done and 

 large quantities of stock go out every 

 week. 



Miss Fannie White had a record 

 week in decorations, having nine affairs 

 of that kind. Her bedding plants are 

 in good shape. 



Kelley & Current have two houses of 

 geraniums, 8,000 plants in all, that are 

 hard to beat. Their new house, just 

 completed, was filled at once with 

 geraniums. This firm has a stand in 

 the city market now and reports busi- 

 ness brisk. 



Miss Emma Bell, for years connected 

 with her father, W. S. Bell, in the 

 florists' business, has accepted a posi- 

 tion with a Clarksville, Tenn., estab- 

 lishment, and leaves immediately to 

 take charge of her new duties. 



F. M. Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall 

 Co., Chicago, 111., and O. Heberling, of 

 Georgetown, Ky., were visitors last 

 week. J. P. K. 



Greenwich, Conn. — J. B. McArdle, 

 though he has been in business here 

 only a short time, is already establish- 

 ing a good trade as a florist and seeds- 

 man. He was recently elected secre- 

 tary of the Westchester and Fairfield 

 County Horticultural Society. His 

 store is in the Merritt building, on 

 Greenwich avenue. Philip Moore has 

 been engaged as one of his salesmen.
