INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The principal event in the floral line 

 so far this season was tlie floral display 

 at the state fair, which was held .v'pr. 

 15 to 19. In plants there was only one 

 firm showinir and in spite of the good 

 quality and size of the plants there were 

 less plants than are usually shown. Baur 

 & Smith were the only e.xhibitors in tlie 

 plant classes. In their group of show 

 plants were some magnificent plants of 

 geraniums, which showed up fine among 

 the green foliage. They also had some 

 grand plants of Rex begonias, some of 

 them nearh' three feet across in S-inch 

 pots. Two great specimens of Boston 

 ferns attracted much attention. 



In roses W. W. Coles, of Kokomo. car- 

 ried off the first honors with a superb 

 lot of blooms on extra long stems for 

 so early in the season, E. A. Nelson, of 

 this city, running very little behind with 

 another fine lot. In collection of cut 

 flowers, E. A. Nelson won first and Mr. 

 Coles second. In collection of gladioli 

 J. L. Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y.. 

 showed a grand lot of blooms and took 

 first, Mr. Coles taking second and E. 

 A. Nelson third. 



In baskets, bouquets and floral designs 

 J. A. Rieman, of this city, won first in 

 every class and E. A. Nelson won second 

 in each class. In the class for "original 

 show arrangement of fiowers," Mr. Rie- 

 man showed an arch with steps leading 

 up to it and a plow on top of the arch. 

 This was easily the finest piece of work 

 ever shown at any of our state fairs. 

 Mr. Nelson showed a rocking chair that 

 was easily worthy of first premium if it 

 had not been up against such a grand 

 piece as Mr. Eieman put up. There was 

 also a nice collection of dahlias shown 

 by a gentleman named Burt, way up in 

 Massachusetts, and they were greatly ad- 

 mired. 



Ti-ade has been about as usual the 

 past week. Nothing very rushing and 

 yet enough funeral work, etc., to keep 

 things moving. Roses are getting better 

 right along and so are carnations, while 

 outside flowers are fast disappearing. 

 Mums will be in soon, and in fact Baur 

 & Smith have already cut a few Lady 

 Fitzwygrani and others will follow soon. 



On the 17th Miss Minnie Hack was 

 married to ^Mr. J. Gruenwald, and they 

 will in the future make their home at 

 Maywood. Mrs. Gruenwald has been 

 tending her father's stand on the mar- 

 ket and became acquainted with most 

 every florist in the city, and her friends 

 are many. A. B.
