The Florists^ Review 



July 4, 1912. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The floral parade in thig pity on Tuee-. 

 day afternoon, June 25,|»rou8ed mnih 

 enthusiasm and was participated in by 

 lodges, schools, merchants and owners 

 of every variety of vehicle. The con- 

 vention of the Kentucky Educational 

 Association was the occasion for the 

 celebration, and the city schools, on 

 elaborately decorated floats, represented 

 nation^ of the world. 



Three miles in length and decorated 

 with flowers, both natural and artificial, 

 the procession of moving vehicles cre- 

 ated a half holiday and brought busi- 

 ness to a standstill as it moved through 

 the dusty streets, a pleasing spectacle 

 to the eyes of the sun-wanned throng. 



The moving pageant, under the 

 auspices of the Advertisers' Club, was 

 competing for $5,000 worth of prizes, 

 and talent and money were not spared 

 for the honor of a reward. There were 

 but two florists in the list of prize win- 

 ners — C. B. Thompson & Co. and Mrs. 

 M. D. Beimers, With a motor car 

 draped in white bunting, covered with 

 Asparagus plumosus and draped with 

 wistaria, C. B. Thompson & Co. were 

 awarded the first prize in the delivery 

 car class. Mrs. Reimers captured a first 

 in the pony and cart class, with a cart 

 filled with American Beauties.

Business was only fair last week. 

 Tuesday, June 25, there was a floral pa- 

 rade, but it didn't help things ma- 

 terially, as all the floats, with the ex- 

 ception of two or three, were decorated 

 with artificial flowers; the only ones 

 using fresh flowers were a few florists 

 who were in the parade. 



The rose crop is not overabundant, 

 but the color is good, owing to the cool 

 nights. Carnations are in good supply, 

 but the weather is telling on them. 

 Sweet peas are coming in fast. 



Herman Kleinstarink, the veteran 

 mum grower, has his crop in fine shape. 

 He expects a heavy cut this fall.

 of E. K. Sackett in the firm of J. Waa- 

 land & Co., the same to be known here- 

 after as Waaland & Palmer.
