BURPEE'S SWEET PEAS. 



()iie of the most iiiterestinjj exhibits 

 to the pulilic at the Imliaiiaiiolis show 

 nas the dis]day of the W. Atlee Uurjiee 

 t'o., l'Iiiladel]iliia. It was a flower show 

 in itself, with sweet ])eas the suliject. 

 .Vrranjicd most artistically in vases, 

 .i^'ainst a pur|ile velvet liack;iroiind, 

 were iiKire thaTi sixty varieties, an ay- 

 urej^ate of several thousand blooms. 

 This disjilay was chany;ed three times 

 • iurinjj the week, necessitating^ four 

 separate shipments of this si/e halfway 

 across the continent. The clisjilay re- 

 ceived not only a first pii/i', but also 

 a <i(i]d medal. 1 mlndeil in the v.irieties 

 sliowii Were the well known liurpee inu' 

 cities ;uid particularly tli(> f(dlowin^' 

 six new oiu-s, which each received a cer- 

 tificate of merit, as at the New York 

 show: f'hevalier, Milkmaid, Sjiokano, 

 Lady Fair, C^uaker Maid, Koliin Hood. 

 The interest and value of this display, 

 to trade and jiublic !ilik(\ were rnhanced 

 hy the jiresence of (Jeorj:;t> W. Kerr

Various Notes. 



A se\ire li.iil storm visited Iinlian- 

 .ipolis and \iiiuily I'liilay, April 7, and 

 did .a ureal de.-il nl' d.-imaiie in cer 

 tain localities. The A. W'iefiaiid 's Sons 

 Co., I '•erterm.iun llros. Co., raliud I'loral 

 < o. and .M.artiii P.raiidlein suiVered i^reat 

 loss of ^lass. The storm was es[)ecially 

 sexire in the central part of Indian- 

 .•ipolis, ;iuil it also swept throiit;li 

 Shelbyville .and Conners\illc. .\ lii;;li 

 wind aicomiianied the storm. M;iiiy 

 lar;;e buildiiij^s in the heart of the city 

 lost a numiier of windows. 



Mr. lluddbson, of the Ove <inatt Co., 

 La I'orte, Ind., was in the city and has

The II. \\ . Kieni.i 11 's Sons Co. h.istwo 

 at t ract i\ f iiiw delivery cars. One of 

 these was on disjil.ay .at the ii;itional 

 tlower show. 



That the national tlower show was a 

 wiinilerful .ad vcrt i>emeiit for the entire 

 bu^ini'NS has bn n proven. The florists 

 ••iiid iiurserynHii have scores uf calls a 

 day. Calls are continuous for stock 

 from ;;ras^ seed to trees. lAeryone is

CINCINNATI GROWERS MEET. 



Tho^r who had pret erred to pay a 

 dcdlar tor inis>iii;,'- the meetinj^ of the 

 Cinciiiiuit i lli^trict of the X.ational 

 I'liiwer (i rowers' .Association, lield 

 .\pril ."> at the r.aiit^'e of Prank .\. \'olz. 

 I lian;^ed their minds in about live min- 

 utes when it lieeaii fd rain that eveiiiiif; 

 and ;ill were ]U'esent except one mem- 

 ber. Sever.il new members were admit 

 ted and bl;ink ajiplications were taken 

 bv some ot' the members, which would 

 indicate tli.at there are other a]ipli- 

 cants in view. 



i'"rom the rejiorts of the committees 

 .ip]iointed to solicit subscriptions for 

 the ;id V erf isiii^ fund, it would seem 

 tli.-it |iiact ica lly the entire city and 

 siibiirlis h;ive been canvassed. How- 

 ever, the oiit-ot' town growers whose 

 product-; .are sold throueh the Cincin- 

 n;iti m.'irket do not seem to apfireciate 

 the value of advertisinij and are rather 

 ^low in coiit ribiit in;,'. Surely they do 

 not expect the Cincinnati florists to 

 be:ir their burden^ in this respect, .'ind 

 we hope to he:ir from them before lon^. 

 A-, will be noticed t'roiii the icinowiii;; 

 list, only two out of-town florists h;ive 

 ^hown their willingness to help this 

 c-iiise .iloii;; ;i||(| we liojie the wludes.ale 

 iii;in will f.ake coiinizance of this fact 

 ill pilshin;: the -;:ile of the stock he has
