The Florists^ Review 



May 1:J. 1915. 



EVANSVILIJL IND. 



The Market. 



The market is full of flowers and the 

 demand is strong. Mothers' day was a 

 good one for the florists, as all flowers 

 were in demand, especially white and 

 pink carnations. Peonies are coming in 

 and a good crop is expected for Me- 

 morial day. Considerable bedding out 

 has been done, but the weather has 

 been so uncertain regarding frosts that 

 many people are holding back. The 

 days are warm, but the nights are chilly. 

 During March and April little rain fell 

 and everything was in danger of dry- 

 ing up, but last week we had some fine 

 rains, which put life into vegetation. 



Various Notes. 



J. C. Elspermann is much better and 

 is able to attend to his work at the 

 greenhouses. He has been busy filling 

 baskets and boxes. He has a fine stock 

 of plants for his trade. Funeral work 

 is plentiful. 



Louis Fritsch is busy filling baskets 

 and boxes and has considerable plant- 

 ing out to do. He will grow some roses 

 for cut flowers this year. 



Theodore Kuebler, of Santa Bosa 

 Fruit Farm, is bringing in excellent 

 American Beauty geraniums. He has 

 just received a new delivery car. 



Koyston & Fenton have a fine stock 

 of 2-inch coleus in about twenty varie- 

 ties, for the trade. 



Miss Nellie Goodge was busy as she 

 could be on Mothers' day. She had a 

 big variety of stock and sold about 

 everything. She has a fine lot of bed- 

 ding plants. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are busy 

 with spring work. 



C. L. Niednagel has his young stock 

 of roses in splendid shape for planting. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co, had 

 a large trade on Mothers' day. Busi- 

 ness is almost invariably good with 

 them. 



Karl Zeidler had a large call for flow- 

 ers for Mothers' day. E. L. F.
