The Florists' Review 



August 23, 1917. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Although favored by cooler weather, 

 the lack of rainfall has caused a scar- 

 city of some outdoor flowers. Asters 

 can hardly be said to be in short supply, 

 but they are of inferior quality, good 

 asters being few. Gladioli are off crop, 

 the hot, dry weather causing them to 

 dry up. The new crop of short roses is 

 making its appearance. The blooms 

 are of fair quality, but limited in num- 

 ber. Lilies, which have been rather 

 abundant all summer, are off crop. 



Ferns have been receiving a fair call. 

 Funeral work continues active, as does 

 the call for flowers for the sick. Sum- 

 mer weddings are popular this season 

 and constitute an important item in the 

 business done. 



Various Notes. 



Janisch & Weiss, proprietors of the 

 Broad Eipple Floral Co., have discon- 

 tinued business. 



Albert Stanley recently purchased a 

 new pleasure car. 



A. Young, of the Young Tool Co., 

 Casey, 111., visited the city last week. 



The Hoosier Floral Co. has been cut- 

 ting a fine late gladioli. This concern's 

 dahlias are doing well, but are suffering 

 from the drought. If rain comes soon 

 enough, the plants will produce fine, 

 large blooms; if not, they will be prac- 

 tically a failure. 



The Circle Flower Store has added a 

 bookkeeper to its staff. 



Mrs. A. P. Beynolds is recovering 

 slowly. 



Mrs. William Roepke and son, Victor, 

 have just returned from a trip to Can- 

 ada and through the east. 



While A. F. J. Baur is attending the 

 S. A. F. convention in New York his 

 family is visiting at Richmond, Ind. 



Fred Hukriede's son and daughter 

 have been visiting at Fort Wayne. 



The September meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association of Indidna will 

 be held Tuesday, September 11, at 

 Columbus, Ind. Further particulars 

 will be mailed to the members. The 

 October meeting will be October 31, at 

 Evansville. At the October meeting 

 there will be a good showing of chrys- 

 anthemums. 



At the place of Henry Rieman prepa- 

 rations are rapidly being made for 

 winter. All is order and neatness. 



Baur & Steinkamp have been busy 

 with carnation and poinsettia orders.
