EVANSVILLE, IND. 



Business is looking up; no doubt 

 about it. The weather is cooler, the 

 nights, especially, which causes roses 

 and carnations to look much better, the 

 foliage being a darker green and the 

 blooms more solid. Last night (October 

 4) we had a killing frost, the ther- 

 mometer going down to 30 degrees at 

 5 : 30 the morning of October 5, and 

 no fire! Have not started firing yet — 

 trying to harden things a little. 



No mildew, to speak of, as yet on 

 roses nor rust on carnations. A very 

 little stem rot has manifested itself on 

 the carnations the last few days, but 

 nothing to cause one to walk in his 

 sleep or have li.Tfl dioams. 



Chry~;.iitli.iniuii~ :.ir ln,,kiug well and 

 are nii-cl\ -rt wnli Innl-.. wiih prospects 

 of havini; |ilrnly nt IiI.ciim ni good sub- 

 stance for all purposes. The old Diana 

 is just the thing for funeral work, 

 where a good white of medium size is 

 wanted. The flower is larger than a 

 carnation, flat and close petaled, mak- 

 ing it fine for groundwork in set pieces. 

 Do not see it mentioned in the li.sts of 

 latter day mums; too old fashioned, 

 perhaps, but it gets there just the same. 



There will he no chrysanthemum show 

 here this fall, except the individual 

 shows made by some of the enterpris- 

 ing florists of the place. But more of 

 this later on. J. H. W.

 years is a good one for a boiler.
