The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 10, 1S98. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Florist Club. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club was held Tuesday even- 

 ing, March 1st. The attendance was 

 very good in spite of the bad spell of 

 showery weather prevailing. 



The state committee on promotion 

 for this year's chrysanthemum show 

 reported that there would now be no 

 question but that another show would 

 be held. The Commercial Club will ap- 

 point a large committee to work with 

 the florists' committee to make this 

 year's exhibition a grand success in 

 every way. 



An excellent paper written bv Mr. 

 Haugh, of Stuart & Haugh, Anderson, 

 Ind.. was read liy Mr. Parker, entitled 

 "Observations." Many excellent points 

 were given for every florist to follow, 

 but to live up to all of them would cer- 

 tainly be a hardship to the average 

 worker in soil. 



The usual refreshments were served 

 after the meeting, all greatly enjoying 

 themselves. 



Notes. 



St. Valentine Day was unuaially 

 good for the florists and business oil 

 this day seems to be increasing from 

 year to year. 



Several florists got into difllcu'ties 

 with the Natural Gas Co. for turning 

 on their gas after it had been shut off 

 by the company on account of the se- 

 vere weather and shortage to private 

 consumers. Very likely it will be 

 shut off for good to these people. 



Herman Junge and John Berter- 

 mann have been on the sick list, but 

 are now convalescent. 



Since Lent business has dropped off 

 considerably and flowers are getting 

 more plentiful. 



Mr. Heller, of New Castle, and Mr. 

 E. G. Hill, of Richmond, were in the 

 city a few days ago on business in 

 connection with this year's chrysan- 

 themum show. Another final meeting 

 will be held shortly to arrange details 

 for a grand exhibition. W. B. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



At the regular monthly meeting of 

 the Kentucky Society of Florists, held 

 in the new meeting place in the 

 new Liederkranz Hall, the final ar- 

 rangements were made for the spring 

 show. This will be held March 29 and 

 30 and April 1 and 2. Those having 

 new plants or blooms of new carna- 

 tions to display are requested to send 

 them to this exhibition. Special certi- 

 ficates will be given. For full informa- 

 tion address Mr. C. H. Kunzman, 3710 

 High street, Louisville, Ky. KY.

SHOULD write me your w.mts for 

 everything entering into the 

 building, heating or ventilatin.g 

 of greenhouses, as well as Unioas 

 for pipes and Universal Joi.its 

 for ventilating apparatus. 



f ENTILATION— I would call spe- 

 cial attention to my patent arm. 



It is so constructed that it can- 

 not slip when once tightened up 

 by the bolts, and, instead of the 

 old fashioned solid eye, which de- 

 pends on a single set screw and 

 is continually slipping, we use an 

 open eye fastened by two bolts. 

 There are three grips in the eye, 

 running parallel with the shaft, 

 which, when screwed down by 

 the bolts, binds on the sh.\ft like 

 a pair of pipe tongs and cannot 

 possibly slip, for the more strain 

 put upon it the tighter it will 

 bind. 



By using the open eye a broken 

 arm can be very easily replaced, 

 whereas with the solid eye the 

 shaft must be taken down to slip 

 the new arm in place. 



Valves also, from the small-^st 

 for water pipe to the largest four- 

 inch for heating purposes. 



EATHERED can aJid will cheer- 

 fully help you out of any diffi- 

 culties you may have in the con- 

 struction or heating of your 

 houses. Wood I use is of '-ed gulf 

 cypress, free from sap. If you are 

 in want of pipe for water or any 

 other purpose, get my figures. 



<'EL I try to in everything, espe- 

 cially in heating, building and 

 ventilating apparatus, but don't 

 forget I can supply you every- 

 thing except masonry material. 



rS of wrought iron or heavy cast 

 iron for every purpose. Write 

 me your wants and they will re- 

 ceive careful and prompt atten- 

 tion. 



r— I don't keep on stock, ':>nt if you 

 want it very badly 1 will try and 

 get it for you.
