I.NDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Society of Indiana Florists. 



The monthly meeting of the State So- 

 ciety of Indiana Florists was held on the 

 •Jth, and, as previously announced, was 

 a memorial meeting in honor of our late 

 brother liorist, William G. Bertermann, 

 Avho passed away on June 29. 



There was a gocd attendance, and 

 everyone present was full of praise for 

 the good work done by Mr. Bertermann 

 in uplifting our profession in this state, 

 especially while sending as secretary of 

 our societ.T. He was well Known to all 

 of us, and no more popular member did 

 we ever have in our society. 



E. G. Hill was to be the principal 

 speaker of the evening, but on account of 

 being unable to be present he sent his 

 speech to be read by the president, 

 and in it expressed the sentiments of 

 everyone present. Suitable resolutions 

 were adojited by the society at this meet- 

 ing and a copy ordered sent to his family. 



Various Items. 



This city is likely to be poorly repre- 

 sented at Asheville, as everybody is heels 

 over head in work building or rebuilding. 

 Bertermann Bros, are building a new 

 house for storing azaleas, etc. H. W. 

 Rieraan is pushing his new addition as 

 rapidly as possible. His two new boilers 

 are beauties. The Young & Smith Co. 

 has its new house planted. J. Hartje 

 has his house ready for the glass, but he 

 is in no hurry, as the house is planted 

 with carnations, which are looking nice. 

 The Indianapolis Plant and Flower Com- 

 pany is finishing a carnation house. 

 Baur & Smith have their large new house 

 ready for the glass, and it is attracting a 

 great deal of attention by its sign. The 

 carnations were planted in beds last 

 spring and the house built over them, 

 and they are looking fine, promising a 

 large and early crop of blooms. They 

 are installing the single pipe system of 

 heating. 



On the 14tli of this month A. Wiegand 

 and wife start on a tour of the West, in- 

 cluding a week in Yellowstone Park. 

 They espect to be gone several weeks. 



E. A. Nelson has planted a house in 

 Beauties, and they are looking nice. 



Carnation planting is going on in full 

 swing, and in a few weeks all will be 

 housed. Asters have been in oversupply, 

 but recent rains have sjioiled many out- 

 side and good ones are not overplentiful 

 just now. A. B.
