INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Cold Snap. 



The cold snap was very severe in 

 this section, the extreme stormy condi- 

 tion making it hard to keep green- 

 houses warm. Natural gas is now only 

 burned by but few, the gas compa- 

 nies gave notice early In the winter 

 that they would shut the gas off, as 

 their supply was getting too short but 

 to supply only private houses. There 

 is no question but what the natural gas 

 is slowly but surely getting lower each 

 year, especially since the oil compa- 

 nies are letting much gas escape to get 

 at the oil all over the northern part of 

 Indiana and Ohio. 



The demand for all stock, while not 

 very brisk is satisfactory. Violets are 

 getting plentiful. Carnations are also 

 ■coming in lively and of good quality. 

 Koses are somewhat scarce; shipped 

 stock inferior with prices too high for 

 the quality. 



SAVANNAH, GA. 



Journeying from Charleston to this 

 busy shipping port, upon what is 

 known as the Atlantic Accommodation 

 Express, we stopped at a hustling place 

 named Jacksontown. My attention 

 was arrested by a prominent sign 

 which read thus: "No cursing or 

 blackguarding in this town under pen- 

 alty of ?.5." (Fact!) I learned that 

 no member of the craft existed there, 

 so came on to the City of Sabals, where 

 I found A. C. Oelschig. one of 

 the busiest men I have met of late, 

 cleaning up after a big decoration. He 

 grows adiantums in solid beds and lifts 

 them bodily when occasion needs it for 

 ■decorative purposes, Roses, Pres't 

 Carnot and White La France are grown 

 extensively: this is a rose country. 



Geo. Wagner has great success in the 

 raising of narcissus, having a whole 

 field devoted to their culture. He also 

 grows La France largely. W. M.
