The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST IT, 1898. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Club Picnic. 



The weather has been extremely 

 warm, consequently there is no busi- 

 ness but plenty of work, as we have 

 had some good rains and that means 

 get after your carnations and mums. ' 



The annual outing of the florists was 

 held at Broad Ripple, July 19; and all 

 had a good time. In the afternoon we 

 were entertained by Prof. Meyers and 

 his children, who are expert swim- 

 mers, and by Mr. O'Pflum, who gave 

 us a short talk on "temperance." Mr. 

 Walter Coles, of Kokomo, also made 

 a speech, in which he invited the In- 

 dianapolis florists to visit him in the 

 near future. 



Notes. 



The regular meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association was held at Gar- 

 field park, Tuesday evening, August 1. 

 Mr. Langstaff presided in the absence 

 of the president. Not much business 

 was transacted at the meeting, as it 

 was what the boys called papa night, 

 there being three papas in July, and 

 they, of course, came to time with the 

 proper article. After the meeting there 

 was an inspection of cannas, for which 

 Garfield park is becoming noted. Mrs. 

 R. A. McKeand, described in my last 

 notes, is looking fine. E. A. Parker, a 

 new seedling, caught everyone's eye. 

 It is old gold in color, with a light 

 border, and a good, stocky grower. 



The latest account now is that there 

 will be about ten or twelve Indianap- 

 olitans attend the convention in De- 

 troit. Please take good care of the 

 Hoosiers. FRED.
