 better health than in many years. 



Many wholesalers and retailers at- 

 tended the funeral of Mrs. Emily Prick- 

 ett, wife of John Prickett, one of the

 7, after a short illness. She was 42 years 

 old and was born in London, England. 

 Funeral services were held at the family 

 residence and burial was at the Town of 

 Maine cemetery, Park Ridge, 111. There

A suggestion that a memorial statue

erected somewhere in the forest pre- 

 serve district of Cook county met with 

 the enthusiastic approval of Peter Rein- 

 berg, president of the county board. 



O. J, Friedman has returned from a 

 short business trip to New York. 



Mr. and Mrs. M. Weiland, of Evans- 

 ton, left for Denver, Colo., January 14, 

 where they will visit their son, Henry, 

 who is a grower there. From Denver 

 they will continue west, visiting several 

 California cities. 



Visitors. 



Rolf Zetlitz, proprietor of greenhouses 

 at Dayton and Lima, O., was in the mar- 

 ket last week purchasing rose plants for 

 his Dayton place, which he recently pur- 

 chased from the Miami Floral Co. 



C. C, Pollworth, of Milwaukee, was 

 in the city the latter part of last week, 

 combining business and pleasure. Mrs. 

 Pollworth accompanied him. 



J. M. Johnson, of McKeesport, Pa., 

 was a visitor in the local market the 

 early part of the week. 



Two Minneapolis growers were here 



January 13, after a trip to Richmond for 

 another look at Rose Premier, which 

 they, are planting soon. They were 

 Ralph A. Latham and O. H. Carlson. 



A. F. J. Baur, of Baur & Steinkamp, 

 Indianapolis, Ind., secretary of the 

 American Carnation Society, was in Chi- 

 cago the latter part of last week and 

 brought with him a number of his new 

 carnation, Ruth Baur, which he exhib- 

 ited at the Chicago Florists' Club ban- 

 quet, January 9, where it scored a total 

 of 87 points. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



January business so far has been bet- 

 ter than in other years. It has kept 

 stock cleaned up, in fact. There was, 

 however, an abundance of carnations 

 the early part of the week, varying in 

 quality and ranging in price from $3 

 to $10. The latter part of the week the 

 market stiffened and carnations cleared 

 freely.
