The Weekly Florists' Revie\^« 



APRIL 13, 1S99. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Easter was a regular April fool 

 here, instead o£ a nice balmy spring 

 day we had snow and very cold weath- 

 er. But nevertheless the Easter trade 

 here, in general, was good, cut flow- 

 ers sold well at fair prices. Plants 

 from $1 to $3 sold well, larger ones 

 did not sell so well. There was a 

 large supply of bulbous stock and it 

 sold cheap, would have brought a bet- 

 ter price if the weather had been 

 warmer. Although there are a few 

 sore heads, that happened to miss it 

 on certain things, the majority are 

 very well satisfied with their Easter 

 trade. 



Society Meeting. 



The State Florists' Association held 

 their regular monthly meeting at the 

 new store of Huntington & Page, ou 

 Tuesday, April 4, with good attend- 

 ance. It was decided at this meeting 

 to give a spring show, free to the 

 public, on May 2, at the Horticultural 

 rooms in the State House. The pres- 

 ident appointed the following com- 

 mittee, to make necessary arrange- 

 ments: H. W. Rieman. R. A. Mc- 

 Keand, F. R. Hukriede, W. J. Hassel- 

 man and J. Hartje. A paper on plants 

 and bedding was read by R. A. Mc- 

 Keand, which proved very satisfactory 

 and in the discussion that followed, 

 our worthy president, Mr. E. G. Hill, 

 gave us some valuable pointers. As 

 the committee on premiums made no 

 schedule for this meeting the display 

 •was not large, Messrs. Hukriede & Son 

 being the only exhibitors. They had 

 some fine plants of Spiraea japonica 

 and astilboides and some good pans 

 of tulips and daffodils. Honorable 

 mention for same. 



Notes. 



We regret very much to hear that 

 the daughter of Mr. Stuart of Ander- 

 son, is quite ill. We all hope for a 

 speedy recovery. F. Conway, florist 

 for the Indianapolis Water Co., is go- 

 ing in business for himself on the 

 South Side. James Hansen, of Garfield 

 Park, has taken his place at the 

 Water Co.'s and F. Rieman of Fair- 

 view Park, taking Mr. Hansen's place.
