■■:-::: ■ 



OCTOBEE 12, 1916. 



called on a few of the downtown stores 

 last week, 



Clarence Thomas, of the E. G. Hill 

 Floral Co., has been racking his brains 

 for novel ideas, as he has had five floats 

 to make for the centennial parades. He 

 has had so many weddings lately that 

 he goes around whistling the wedding 

 march! 



John Rieman has been displaying 

 some of the finest chrysanthemums in 

 the city. 



Walter Berkhoff is with the E. A. 

 Nelson Floral Co. again. 



David Kelley, of Franklin, visited the 

 city last week and reported stock so 

 scarce at Franklin that hardly any busi- 

 ness could be carried on. 



The stock of Merry Christmas carna- 

 tions, put out by Baur & Steinkamp, is 

 looking well and orders now are being 

 booked for December and January. 



The combined meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association of Indiana and 

 the Kentucky Society of Florists will 

 be held October 17 and 18. The Indian- 

 apolis party will leave on the Pennsylva-
