MERRY CHRISTMAS 



is the result of a long series of seedling crosses, beginning 

 with Beacon and Victory. It comes with long and always 

 strong stems early, and the bloom never appears sleepy. It 

 is an all-season scarlet and always high-grade, never splitting 

 the calyx and never off color. Come and see it growing. 



December and early January delivery all sold. 

 Booking orders now for Jan. 15th and later.

EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business during Thanksgiving week 

 continued good for all occasions in 

 which flowers were used. The weather 

 was fine — bright days and nights, with 

 the temperature in the twenties. Stock 

 in general was plentiful and of good 

 quality. Mums are in reduced supply, 

 as the main crop has passed. Eoses are 

 not any too plentiful, but carnations 

 are in better supply. Sweet peas, val- 

 ley and bouvardias are some of the 

 other flowers in lively demand. Among 

 the flowering plants Begonia luminosa 

 seems to be best. Potted mums are 

 about gone. 



Various Notes. 



Members of the Evansville Florists' 

 C!lub should remember the date of the 

 next meeting is December 13. The 

 meeting place is the greenhouses of 

 •Julius Niednagel & Sons. 



C. L. Niednagel says his crop of roses 

 will be just about right for Christmas. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons disposed of 

 their main crop of mums to good ad- 

 vantage, with no loss of blooms. Tfte 

 cut of carnations is good, with pros- 

 pects for a large cut at Christmas. 

 This concern has received a shipment 

 of good azaleas. The begonias and 

 primulas are fine; also bouvardias, for 

 |iOts and cutting. This concern has a 

 new Ford delivery car, the noiseless 

 kind, with the brass band left oflF. 



Norwood Halbrooks is cutting some 

 fine long-stemmed sweet peas. 



J. C. Elspermann is busily occupied 

 in getting in his bulb stock. His plants 

 are good, especially Begonia luminosa. 



The Blackman Floral Co. is working 

 hpfore and after hours in order to got 

 out the orders. 



Royston & Feuton report a good de- 

 mand for roses, smilax and greens. 

 They have a seedling coleus about a 

 year old which will be put on the mar- 

 ket next year if it continues doing well. 

 It is a fancy, large-leaved variety, me- 

 dium in height and bushy; good both as 

 a pot plant and for bedding. It has 

 about the same markings as Trailing 

 (Jueen, but with less green on the leaf.
