EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business continues to be satisfactory, 

 with plenty of flowers to go around. 

 Last week was the big week for mums, 

 but these are in smaller supply now. 

 There are large quantities of pompons 

 to be cut yet. Boses are excellent and 

 in good supply, as are also carnations. 

 The weather is fine. In November all 

 records for amount of rainfall were 

 broken; over nine inches fell. The Ohio 

 river at this place is above the flood 

 point. 



Various Notes. 



Theodore Kuebler reports good busi- 

 ness. He has cut about the largest 

 mums, this fall, ever grown here. He is 

 preparing for a good Christmas trade. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann continues to be 

 busy with funeral work. She has a good 

 line of plants for Christmas, including 

 Cleveland cherries, begonias, ferns, etc. 



A visit to the Blackman Floral Co. 

 greenhouses found everything in fine 

 shape. The large stock of Christmas 

 plants is in elegant condition. This firm 

 will, also, have a good cut of roses and 

 carnations. 



The Lockyear Floral Co. has been 

 shipping mums of fine quality to points 

 south. This firm is preparing for a lively 

 Christmas. 



O. S. Smith reports a steady increase 

 in his business. He is stocking up in 

 anticipation of a good Christmas trade. 



Royston & Fenton have a fine lot of 

 pansies, grown outside, ready for Christ- 

 mas for the wholesale trade. E. L. F. 



CINCINNATI GROWERS MEET. 



The monthly meeting of the Cincin- 

 nati district of the National Flower 

 Growers' Association was held Wednes- 

 day night, December 7. The weather for 

 the last three or four weeks has been 

 unfavorable, so far as the florists are 

 concerned, in the way of growing, but 

 this did not prevent them from attend- 

 ing the meeting and there was a good 

 attendance. 



Considerable time was consumed on 

 the subject of a constitution and by- 

 laws that will most suit the needs of the 

 Cincinnati district, but, in addition, 

 various subjects of vital importance to 

 the grower were discussed; namely, a 

 remedy for the poor condition of the 

 cyclamen crop in this section, fertiliza- 

 tion, etc. It was also decided that in 

 the future our monthly meetings will be 

 held at the establishments of the various 

 members, and Chairman R. Witter- 

 staetter was honored by having the 

 members select his place at which to 

 hold their next meeting, Wednesday, 

 January 4, at 2 p. m.
