The Fischer Brothers had three locations, in Covington, 1046 Madison;  in Newport, 729 Monmouth; and in Latonia, at 10 W. Southern.  In the image here, the Covington location is in the center/left.  I assume that's Newport on the right, and Latonia on the top.

Descriptions of four Newport Businesses from 1891

 

This is a list of many - not all - Newport business in 1917, and lists the number of people each employs.
from the Twenty-Second Biennial Report of the Bureau of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics of Kentucky for 1916-1917.  The column marked "C" is for children

Newport Milling Co, c. 1901
1108 Monmouth

"Newport, Ky., Feb. 10. - At an early hour Wednesday morning, Newport was visited by a $10,000 blaze.  The fire almost totally destroyed the Wehenbold Milling Co.'s mill at 11th and Monmouth streets.  The sire started on the third floor of the mill from unknown causes.  It is thought, however, that it was due to spontaneous combustion."  from Richmond, Kentucky's The Climax, Feb. 17, 1897.

"Newport, Ky., July 19. - Fire started this evening in the oil room of Unnewehr's sawmill, probably caused by a gasoline explosion.  Within two hours the flames, fanned by a strong breeze, had spread two squares south and east two blocks.  The Covington (Ky.) and Cincinnati fire departments were called on and sent a number of engines.  Fifty families are rendered homeless.  Loss estimated to be between $125,000 and $150,000, with but comparatively little insurance." NY Times, July 20, 1898.


I have no idea where in Newport's Hooper and Ferris' Nursery was located in 1846.
