 four large decorative orders.

 sold in Indianapolis. 



Walter Burkley has left the E. A. 

 Nelson Co. to take a position with the

Richard Kootz, formerly of this city, 

 has opened a flower store in Cincinnati. 



Baur & Steinkamp report a good 

 ,,. summer business and that they have 

 sold all plants, with the exception of 

 Carnation Matchless, Enchantress Su- 

 preme and Peerless Pink. 



L. F. Benson has been suflfering from 

 a nervous breakdown and with his fam- 

 ily will spend the winter in Florida. 



E. E. T. 



From Another Correspdndent. 



Trade 'was fair last week. Funeral 

 work has been plentiful and stock has 

 cleared daily. Indianapolis was visited 

 by a severe frost last week, which 

 caught many of the florists napping. 

 However, this will help trade, as it will 

 do away with some of the outdoor stock. 

 Stock is overplentiful. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are coming in, but not in large 

 quantities as yet. The new crop car- 

 nations have, not yet made their appear- 

 ance. Dahlias have not been plentiful 

 this year and no doubt the frost killed 

 those not ruined by the dry weather. 

 Beauties and other roses are of good 

 quality, but the supply is short. Some 

 asters are to be had, but first-olass stock 

 is short. All green stock is plentiful, 

 except smilax, of which there is not 

 nearly enough to go around. 



J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer, 

 Inc., Philadelphia, was an early bird 

 Monday morning, September 18. Mr. 

 Earins reports that he spent six weeks 

 in a hospital recently. From the en- 

 ergy he shows it must have done him 

 good, as he certainly means business. 



George Wiegand, who recently re- 

 turned from a motor trip in Kentucky, 

 has been taken to a hospital to under- 

 go an operation. 



Baur & Steinkamp report an extra 

 heavy demand for young poinsettia 

 stock this year; in fact, the demand 

 was so heavy that they could not fill 

 all orders. This firm reports a fine 

 trade in field-grown carnation plants. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. is redeco- 

 rating its store and making numerous 

 improvements. Walter Bertermann has 

 been on a two weeks' vacation.
