The Florists^ Review 



March 11, 1920 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



I The Market. 



Flowers are plentiful and prices have 

 dropped some, but it is hoped that they 

 will never again be slashed as they once 

 were. 



Bulbous stock continues to be the 

 most in evidence. Freesias are abundant 

 and sell at $3 to $5 per hundred, colored 

 ones bringing $5. Daffodils, jonquils, 

 tulips and hyacinths are in good supply 

 at $6, $7 and $8 per hundred. Eoses are 

 more plentiful now. These, however, 

 are far from being in abnormal supply. 

 Carnations are available in larger quan- 

 tities and calla lilies sell at $2.50 and 

 $3 per dozen. 



Sweet peas are in good supply. Ca- 

 lendulas have sold well this winter, hav- 

 ing been of good quality. Orchids, vio- 

 lets, pussy willows, etc., have added 

 variety to the offerings in the various 

 windows. 



Cinerarias are attractive. Other 

 plants include cyclamens, primroses, be- 

 gonias, ferns and a few azaleas. Pot- 

 ted bulbous stock is in popular favor, 

 jonquils, tulips, daffodils and hyacinths 

 being the leaders. 



Business has not been quite so active 

 for the last two weeks. 



Indiana State Association. 



The March meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Association was held at 

 the Smith & Young Co. commission 

 house, Tuesday, March 2. The meet- 

 ing was unusually well attended and 

 several out-of-town members were pres- 

 ent. 



President Anders Rasmussen presid- 

 ed. After the routine business the fol- 

 lowing were elected to membership: 

 Thomas Affleck, of Indianapolis; Frank 

 D. McConnell, of Boonville, Ind., and 

 Fred and Norman Hukriede, of Indian- 

 apolis. 



President Easmussen made a report 

 of the meeting of the S. A. F. board of 

 auditors. Mr. Easmussen was appoint- 

 ed to look after subscriptions in the 

 publicity campaign in this state and 

 said that the drive should be started 

 immediately, as the committee was de- 

 sirous of having twice as much money 

 as it had had previously. A. F. J. Baur 

 gave an interesting account of the 

 American Carnation Society meeting, in 

 Chicago. 



The next meeting of the F. T. D., to 

 be held in Indianapolis, was the chief 

 discussion of the evening. Irwin Ber- 

 termann read the minutes of the pre- 

 vious meeting, to give the association 

 an idea of what to expect. Various 

 committees were appointed to look after

HAMBURG UTE PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM 



is an improved late pink Maud Dean, having more petals and, if grown for 

 late, will hardly ever show an open center. 



The average Rrower of Chrysanthemums must have varieties which are easy to handle and 

 from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. Hambursr Late Pink has 

 been grown for the last four years, and produces a very hlgrh proportion of jfood flowers. It is 

 not an exhibition variety, but for late pink Is one of the best for commercial purposes. It can 

 be had in bloom the latt«r part of November by taking, an early bud, but some of the flowers 

 will show open centers. By selecting late buds, after October 1, most of the flowers are cut 

 during December, and would advise to select late buds, as the later buds will hardly ever show 

 an open center, and some flowers can be had even in January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent and where a graceful pink flower is wanted, HambarsT 

 Late Pink cannot be surpassed. 



Plants ready early in March and all orders will be filled in rotation.
