1 This is what Edwin A. Kanst, one of the awarding judges, said ol it : " President McKinley 

 ■ is a splendid flower. The petals are perfect, and it is well built. The color is deeper and brighter than the 

 g Lawson and the coloring is more distinct. The peculiar purplish tinge in the Lawson is absent from the 



2 President McKinley. It will become a favorite carnation." 



This variety, like its parent Dorothy, is wonderfully free, also very early and an excellent keeper and shipper. 



Rooted Cuttings ready Jan. I, 1903. PRICE: $2 per doz ; $12 per 100; $100 per 1000. 



Early struck cuttings of all the leading varieties of Carnations, also Chrysanthemums and Roses. We guarantee our 

 stock to be satisfactory.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Tlie State Florists' 'Association held 

 its December meeting on the 2nd. but 

 owing to bad weather and a party going 

 up to New Castle for the day there weie 

 not many [>iesent. I'lesiilent Ilaugli 

 was in llie cliair. It was decided In oiler 

 for com))etilion the silver and the bronze 

 medals of the S. A. F. at the .January 

 meeting and a.s there are a good many 

 gootl things in the way of new carna- 

 tions and rose.s and ])erliai)s a few otliei 

 things in the state, there should be some 

 lively competition. It calls for any new 

 plant or lilooms that are not in com 

 merce. Only members of the society an- 

 eligible for eomijetition. I understand. 

 There will be meetings in (he aftenioou 

 and evening and a su])per will \w ar 

 ranged for. A full attendance is ri- 

 quested and much imjjortant business i- 

 to come before the nu'i'ting. 



Batir & fSmith showed some blooni~ 

 of their new pink carnatiim •Indian- 

 apolis" and a few blooms of a line large 

 scarlet named "Tlie Xews." The vari 

 cty "Indianapolis" is a line bold llowi r 

 of large size and good form and sup- 

 ported by a strong n])right stem. The 

 color is the brightest of pink carnations 

 with not a trace of blue or yellow in i1. 

 This is to l)e disseminated in in()4. 



We were favored a few days ago with 

 a visit from that hustling young man 

 from .Toliet. and with him' he had a 

 bunch of as tine blooms as we have evei 

 seen of a crimson carnation. They were 

 of their new variety, Harlowardeii. and 

 this mu.st he a wonderful variety. In 

 produce such blooms this early. (U 

 course, they won an order for some cut 

 tings. Tlieir Her Majesty is another 

 one you want to give a trial and 1 mis 

 take if you do not add it to your list 

 of standard varieties. 



Trade has been very good ever since 

 ■niiims have l)een out of the wav and 

 prices are stifl'eniug steadily on all kinds 

 of stock. A very warm October and 

 most of November has somewhat un- 

 settled the growers" calculations for 

 Christmas and in some lines st<K-k is go- 

 ing to be very scaice. but on tlie whole 

 a good su]>|dy is exiX'Ctedi. Begonia dc 

 Lorraine is being grown in large r|uanti 

 ties by the leading retailers and they 

 find ready sale. Cyclamen are also in 

 fine shape as also are poinsettias. Car- 

 nations are fine in quality and quantity 

 fair, roses the same. A. 1!.
