southern Texas and the southwest is 

 now an important industry. The seed 

 for this crop comes mostly from the 

 Canary islands and nearly 75,000 pounds 

 arc now required annually for planting. 

 In the spring of 1917 some apprehension 

 was felt by the growers regarding the 

 arrival of seed from Teneriffe in time 

 for planting, but it arrived without un- 

 due delay. Investigations have shown 

 that Bermuda onion seed of high quality 

 can be produced in Arizona and New 

 Mexico. This seed gives highly satis- 

 factory results in the United States and 

 also in the Bermuda islands. The seed 

 of other varieties of onion is produced 

 abundantly and its production can be as 

 greatly increased as needs warrant. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business continues heavy, though not 

 equal in volume to that of the last three 

 or four weeks. Mums are at the height 

 of their season and roses and carnations 

 are plentiful and of good quality. There 

 are quantities of pompons of many va- 

 rieties, which find a ready sale. The 

 weather is ideal, making it possible to 

 conserve fuel supplies. The "flu" ban 

 has been lifted, but there are still many 

 deaths from the disease and from pneu- 

 monia. 



The outdoor crop of flowers has been 

 cut down by frost, so that, if it were 

 not for mums, there would be a scarcity 

 of flowers. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the Oak Hill greenhouses 

 formerly conducted by Miss Nellie 

 Goodge, finds improvements. The range 

 is now under the management of M. H. 

 Lockyear and is known as the Loekyear 

 Floral Co. Mrs. Lockyear is a sister of 

 Miss Goodge and, since taking charge, 

 Mr. Lockyear has come to like the busi- 

 ness. He is also proprietor of the Lock- 

 year Business College, of this city. He 

 says that the business college is all 

 right for a young man, but that the 

 florists' business is better for an older 

 man. He has torn down an old stable 

 and built a fine new one farther in the 

 rear. He has put up a new front to the 

 office, with a sign showing the name and 

 underneath it the slogan, "Say It with 

 Flowers." Next year he intends to 

 tear down two houses and build a large 

 new house. The business is increasing 

 rapidly. 



Letters received recently from the 

 United States Chamber of Commerce by 

 the florists stated that representatives 

 probably would be asked to meet in 

 Washington to confer on the coal ques- 

 tion in the near future. Replies were 

 requested by November 10. The Evans- 

 ville Florists' Club held a special meet- 

 ing at the store of the William Black- 

 man Floral Co. November 7 and selected 

 George Blackman as its representative, 

 with C. L. Niednagel as substitute. 



The florists are pleased with the new 

 coal orders, because it will be helpful to 

 the florists who are situated less for- 

 tunately. The florists of this city, by 

 the use of screenings, have had all the 

 coal needed, without the new order, as 

 screenings are plentiful here. E. L. F. 



Hart, Mich. — Otto Kuehnel, who closed 

 his greenhouse last year on account of 

 the fuel situation, is uncertain whether 

 ho will reopen or accept a post offered 

 him in Chicago.
