The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



FEBRUARY 10. 1S9S. 



white form of Dendrobium Wardianum, 

 pure white as to sepals and petals; 

 throat yellow without darli spots, al- 

 ways noticeable in the type. Several 

 pieces of the white Cattleya Trianae 

 may also lie seen, as well as a number 

 of the choice and beautiful Cymbidium 

 eburneum. 



Prices. 



The price list for the weeli: Beau- 

 ties. $4 to $9; La France. $1 to $3, 

 Bridesmaids. $2 to $3; Carnots, $3; 

 Kaiserin, $3; Gates, $1 to $3; carna- 

 tions, 50 cents per dozen; violets, $1 to 

 ?1.50; tulips, 50 cents; valley, 50 cents; 

 narcissus, 50 cents; Harrisii, $2 to $3. 



The only visible effect left of the 

 blizzard of last weelv is the great holes 

 in the coal piles, which look as if a 

 cyclone had struck them. 



Mr. Wm. Clark had a boiler burst, 

 but Mr. Clark doesn't mind a little 

 thing like that. He is always equal to 

 any emergency, and soon bad it going 

 again. W. H. K. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Club Meeting. 



The Febru:iry meeting of the Indian- 

 apolis Florists' Club was held Tuesday 

 evening. Feb. 1. Through the courtesy 

 of the Huntington Seed Co.. the meet- 

 ings will be held in their office room; 

 a lot of folding chairs and other sup- 

 plies were ordered purchased. The at- 

 tendance was very good. Four new 

 members were elected, including Park 

 Superintendent Clyde Powers. The 

 conduct of several self-styled florists 

 again came up for discussion, they go- 

 ing so far as to represent themselves as 

 representatives of well known houses 

 when going "crape hunting." This 

 practice has given rise to serious com- 

 plaint among some citizens and the 

 club felt it its duty to take some defi- 

 nite action. A committee was appoint- 

 ed to get up a "warning" against ;i fore- 

 said "crape hunters." It was decided 

 to inform the press of the club's action 

 and also to print about 20.000 to 30.000 

 slips to be distributed where they 

 would do the most good. 



Mr. J. J. B. Hatfield read a very in- 

 teresting essay on "Why We Venti- 

 late." As he is a very scientific man, 

 bis paper was full of new things to the 

 average florist. The interest shown in 

 his remarks was very plain, as evinced 

 by the close attention. 



A committee of three aged members 

 was appointed to draft resolutions and 

 order a suitable floral emblem on ac- 

 count of the death of Mrs. Allen Lloyd, 

 elected one of the first honorary mem- 

 bers of the state and city societies, as 

 was also Mr. Allen Lloyd, who died two 

 years ago. Being the oldest couple that 

 were ever engaged in the flower busi- 

 ness in this state, much interest was 

 felt in them by us ail. 



An inquiry by the president showed 



that about 10 to 12 members will at- 

 tend the National Carnation Meeting 

 in Chicago. There is some complaint 

 that there is so little information out 

 in regard to this important meeting. 



Notes. 



August Schmidt, for many years 

 with Mr. John Rieman, committed sui- 

 cide a few days ago. At times very 

 much inclined toward dissipation, he 

 is supposed to have committecd the 

 deed out of remorse. 



On Feb. 1 The Bertermann Floral 

 Co. paid off all notes in full issued by 

 the late firm of Bertermann Bros. 



At Garfield Park two greenhouses, 

 10x100, have been added for bedding 

 plants. 



Robert McKeand and assistants are 

 busily engaged getting ready for plant- 

 ing in all the parks the coming season.
