Trade Notes. 



Tiadf seems to l)e picking \i]) iiitily 

 and good stock finds ready sale at fair 

 figures. Roses are coming in very nice- 

 ly and are comparatively free from 

 mildew, possibly ou account of the dry. 

 bright weather we have been having, (in 

 the 17th all the ro.*e growers had lo 

 start their fires on account of a sudden 

 drop in the tempera! ii re. «liiili wmt 

 below freezing point, i 'ilm- juil (iiImi 

 very tender .stock was iii|iihmI, l.ul Im 

 tunately such stock a> yii alliums c.s 

 caped injury, and fortunate it wa.s, as 

 all the cuttings were still out on the 

 stock plants in the field. Outside flowers 

 are getting scarcer right along, and we 

 are beginning to long for chrysanthe- 

 mum time to come with its plentitude of 

 bloom. 



The State Society of Indiana Florists 

 held a special meeting to begin active 

 work on preparing for the entertainiiii; 

 of the Carnation Society next February. 

 Perhaps the main thing at that meeting 

 was the opening of the books for sub- 

 scriptions to a fund to be used in de 

 fraying the expenses incidental to tliat 

 meeting. That the boys are all in for 

 making it a .success was shown by the 

 figures that were put down after' each 

 name. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, was se- 

 lected as toastmaster by a unanimous 

 vote. 



After the business was finished 

 Messrs. Wiegand (at whose place the 

 meeting was held) started in to enter- 

 tain their guests, and every one who has 

 ever been a guest of theirs knows tliat 

 they know just how it should Ipc done. 

 It was well past midnight wli<>ii the 

 crowd dispersed, and then it was only 

 in order to catch the last car home. 



The floral display at the Indiana 

 State Fair was about as it usually is. 

 A. Wiegand & Sons and Baur & Smith 

 were the principal winners in the plant 

 classes; W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, and 

 Baur & Smith in cut flowers, and John 

 Eieman in designs and baskets. Mr. 

 Coles had a very fine lot of roses and 

 his Kaiserins, for which he is famous, 

 were as fine as ever. A. Wiegand & 

 Sons always show a fine lot of palms and 

 decorative plants. 



Visitors during the past week were 

 E. G. Hill and his .son Joe and J. A. 

 Evans, from Richmond; W. W. Coles, 

 from Kokomo; J. A. E. Haugh, Ander- 

 son; Mr. Rieman, Vincennes; J. R. 

 Fotheringham, representing F. R. Pier- 

 son; Mr. Temple, Davenport, Iowa; F. 

 Dorner, Jr., Lafayette; H. Thaden. At-

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



To Increase Stock of New Varieties. 



A good way to quickly get up a 

 healthy stock of new varieties, such as 

 Timothy Eaton and Mrs. Elmer D. 

 Smith, of which only a dozen or less 

 could be afforded at the introduction 

 prices, is to take the side shoots as they 

 break at the axil of each leaf and put 

 them in the propagating bed. They soon 

 root, whether cut of! below a joint or 

 not, and after growing up to a bud, or 

 rnaking an abortive attempt, they form a 

 nice healthy stool for next season's work. 



From a dozen Timothy Eaton we now 

 have quite a hundred nice plants by this 

 method. J. O. E.
