The A. Wiegand's Sons Co. is busy 

 with store decorations this week. 



The local florists are figuring on turn- 

 ing out in full force at the next meet- 

 ing of the State Florists' Association 

 at New Albany, Ind., and Louisville, 

 Ky., next month. H. L. W. 



From Still Another Correspondent. 



This market has been short on cut 

 ferns. Several shipments were lost, and 

 it was necessary to do considerable tele- 

 graphing before a plentiful supply was 

 again available. A splendid spirit of 

 cooperation was shown during the short- 

 age, several of the tradesmen dividing 

 their stocks and helping others. 



William Eoepke, the East Washing- 

 ton street florist, in addition to all the 

 firsts at the state fair, expects to clean 

 up on mums. A third of his range is 

 devoted to this stock. 



The Smith & Young Co. lately added 

 a large and attractive line of new 

 baskets to its stock. 



A new messenger delivery service has 

 opened oflSces here. A flat rate of 10 

 cents to any part of the city is charged. 

 Quite a number of florists are using 

 this service for their out-of-the-way de- 

 liveries. The messengers wear uniforms. 



Lester F. Benson, who has conducted 

 a retail flower business here for the last 

 eight years, recently sold his store to 



GOLDFISH

the Oilar brothers, who will continue it 

 at the same location. Mr. Benson in- 

 tends to engage in the wholesale trade. 



The Hoosier Floral Co. is marketing 

 some unusually good Francis King * 

 gladioli. The spikes are forty to sixty 

 inches long and carry from four to seven 

 open blooms. A large basket of this 

 stock displayed in Reynolds' store win« 

 dow attracted the attention of many, 

 who gladly paid $3 per dozen for them. 



John G. Chisholm, who has been with 

 the Bertermann Bros. Co. for the last 

 six years, left here last week to take a 

 position with the Hill Co, at Cincinnati. 

 Mr. Chisholm is an artist of considera- 

 ble ability, and many of his personal 

 customers will miss his fine work. 



The South Park Floral Co., of New- 

 castle, is shipping a great many fine 

 roses to this market, the Bussell roses 

 being especially good. A visit to this 

 range recently revealed a surprisingly 

 large number of novelty roses grown for

the coming season. The stock is in fine 

 condition and promises an abundance of 

 blooms. 



John Bieman, whose store is under- 

 going extensive improvements, has 

 adopted the word "shop." Hereafter 

 his sign will read "Eieman's Flower 

 Shop." 



Business generally is reported good. 

 Stock is more plentiful. Boses are 

 arriving more satisfactorily, and good 

 asters are appearing. A few yellow 

 mums are offered, and now and then one 

 sees a bunch or so of carnations. Grow- 

 ers are becoming more frequent in their 

 calls on the retailers. B. F. S.
