The Market. 



Valentine's day was a busy one for 

 the stores. Plants and cut flowers were 

 popular valentines, and for the cut flow- 

 ers appropriate boxes were much in 

 demand. Hyacinths, jonquils, ciner- 

 arias, azaleas and primroses were the 

 most in demand in the line of plants. 

 Roses are scarce, while carnations are 

 in good supply, the latter, however, be- 

 ing badly split. 



Club Meeting. 



The Evansville Florists' Club met 

 February 9 at the Karl Zeidler range 

 and had an enjoyable evening. N. O. 

 Halbrooks spoke on the carnation and 

 exhibited some fine long-stemmed sweet 

 peas. Theodore Kuebler showed a 

 bloom of the Dr. Enguehard mum. 

 After the meeting lunch was served 

 and then all visited the Zeidler green- 

 houses, which are lighted by electricity. 

 The next meeting will be held at the 

 residence of L. Fritsch, March 8. Wil- 

 liam Halbrooks will talk on Easter 

 plants of a generation ago, while the 

 vouneer members will talk of today.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



Baur & Steinkamp, of Indianapolis, 

 are in the limelight just now, princi- 

 pally because their Carnation Pocahon- 

 tas has been recognized by Mrs. Wood- 

 row Wilson, she being a descendant of 

 that illustrious personage. Mr. Baur 

 finished taking some finely rooted cut- 

 tings from the sand to complete some 

 orders; then we make the rounds of the 

 houses, making the following notings: 

 Good Cheer, as grown here, is predicted 

 to surpass Mrs. C. W. Ward. Enchant- 

 ress Supreme, with other members of 

 this family, still will be grown by the 

 florists. SU Nicholas, while a grand

scarlet, has to give honors to Champion 

 for productiveness. Merry Christmas, 

 a new deep scarlet of much promise, is 

 listed for 1917, while a seedling crim- 

 son, descended from Pocahontas for one 

 parent, but with a bloom far superior 

 to it, will be a 1918 debutante. Sensa- 

 tion, as seen here, is simply immense, 

 both in growth and bloom. A lovely 

 pink seedling is being carefully nur- 

 tured. White Wonder, Matchless and 

 Shasta are leaders in whites. A most 

 interesting experiment is being made 

 to determine, if possible, the reason 

 for the yellows, a disease prevalent 

 with many. Mr. Baur attributes this 

 disease to lack of nutrition, and has 

 twelve plants of Enchantress under 

 treatment, in each case using a differ- 

 ent fertilizer, to determine if the nour- 

 ishment lacking is phosphoric acid or
