RICHMOND, IND. 



. Carnation planting is drawing to a 

 close and from all reports and appear- 

 ances the plants did remarkably well, 

 considering the dry spell during the past 

 three weeks. Among the varieties that 

 attracted my especial attention at E. G. 

 Hill Co. 's place was The Cardinal, 7,000 

 of which occupy two benches in the mam- 

 moth house. The plants look clean and 

 vigorous, making new breaks and sending 

 out new shoots that speak well for the 

 variety. It is unquestionably a winner 

 and will appeal especially to those grow- 

 ers who have had success with Estelle. 

 An improved Estelle will mean a deal 

 to those who can cut long- stemmed and 

 full-sized flowers at a time when the old 

 favorite, Estelle, lacks in these qualities. 

 Over 75,000 have already been booked up. 



Lawson and Enchantress have been 

 planted in la^ge quantities, and among 

 the whites Lady Bountiful takes first 

 rank. A great demand is expected for 

 this variety during the coming season. 

 Fred Burki is being tested here in small 

 quantity. Like its famous parent, the 

 Lawson, it seems to have adapted itself 

 to Indiana soil and does as well as in 

 its native state, western Pennsylvania. 



Exhibition chrysanthemums, as usual, 

 are up to the standard and some fine 

 specimens will be shown during the com- 

 ing shows, both east and west. Not the 

 least and, candidly speaking, above any 

 other rose on the place that drew my 

 attention was Etna, Mr. Hill's own seed- 

 ling, a red rose that promises much vigor 

 of growth, color and form of bloom, 

 stem, etc. Five benches have been 

 planted and a finer sight, even at this 

 early season, it would be hard to point 

 out. 



Their recent acquisition in realty is a 

 fifty-acre farm in the vicinity of the 

 Richmond asylum. It is not likely that 

 potatoes or cabbage will grace this site, 

 but something more remunerative in their 

 own lines. 



The B. K. & B. Floral Co., on Asy- 

 lum avenue, has recently enlarged the 

 range by one house of 20x240, all planted 

 with carnations. Their own Kichmond 

 Gem, which will be "disseminated during 

 the coming spring, is well worthy of a 

 trial by every grower looking for a va- 

 riety to take the place of Crane, Apollo 

 and the like. As a grower it is in the 



first rank. Its color is ideal, the stem 

 all that could be desired, and its bloom- 

 ing qualities surpassed by no variety. 

 Enchantress, Lawson and Queen have 

 been planted largely, the latter having 

 proved the best and most profitable white 

 on the place. 



At E. T. Grave's things in general 

 look clean, healthy and attractive. Their 

 rose-growing venture has long since 

 passed the experimental stage, having 

 proved a great success. They not only 

 grow roses in quantity, but grow tbemi 

 remarkably well. 



E. Ruch is putting the finishing touches 

 to the two carnation houses built this- 

 summer. 



Florist Gause is about to move to his 

 new residence, adjoining his greenhouses 

 on National road. 



Convention talk is ripe and the two- 

 standbys, E. G. rfill and John Evans, are 

 sure to be on deck in St. Louis. X. 



RELIEVES THEM OF -SURPLUS." 



We are in receipt of the following let- 

 ter from a well-known plant house: 



Sometime during May or June a man called' 

 at our ofiice and induced us to subscribe to 

 a scheme he had for disposing of surplus stock. 

 The fee to belong to this "association" was- 

 something like $1.60 or $2. On July 2, we 

 mailed a list of surplus stock to this asso- 

 ciation and the letter has been returned by 

 the postal authorities marked "Parties cannot 

 be found." 



If this gentleman is a fake he should be 

 publlfihed to prevent others falling in bis trap. 

 We Inclose the printed matter he had on top 

 of his surplus list, also the envelope showing 

 same returned to us. Do you know anything 

 about him? 



If you can enlighten us any on this matter, 

 you will very much oblige. 



The printed matter was a heading for 

 a list printed "Nurserymen & Florists' 

 Surplus Association, P. O. Box 395,. 

 Louisville, Ky. " The envelope was cor- 

 rectly addressed as above. The post- 

 master at Louisville had apparently for- 

 warded it, readdressing, to John M. 

 Brown, Newport, Ky. The postmaster at 

 Newport returned it to the writer after 

 holding it from July 5 to August 5. 



FLORIST TIES THE KNOT, 



James S. McMahon, the retail florist of 

 Jersey City, is a justice of the peace and 

 able to execute ' * the whole order ' ' when 

 it is wedding wbrk. The way it some- 

 times happens is related as follows by a 

 local paper: 



Justice of the Peace James S. McMahon was 

 putting together some funeral flowers In ^Is 

 place of business at 302 Grove street Saturday 

 afternoon, when a young man and young 

 woman entered. The Judge put the last small 

 blue flower into the final word of the Inscrip- 

 tion, "We Mourn Our Loss." and then politely 

 Inquired of what service he could be to the 

 couple. 



"You could marry us, if you would be so 

 kind," answered the young man, "and please 

 hurry up, as we have to catch a train." 



"Wait a minute, if you please," said Judge 

 McMahon, as he retired behind the ice box. 

 He reappeared inside of a minute with a fine 

 and large wedding bell made of pink and white 

 roses. He suspended tt from a convenient 

 hook in the celling, and invited the couple to 

 stand underneath. They obeyed, and as they 

 stood there holding hands they were united 

 "for better or worse, for richer or poorer." 



Judge McMahon said be was glad at being 

 able to accommodate them, and they said he 

 was very kind. The happy bridegroom gave the 

 magistrate a fee "in proportion to the impor- 

 tance of the service rendered." 



Philadelphia, Pa. — Godfrey Asch- 

 mann, 1012 Ontario street, is building 

 two new houses, Lord & Bui-nham Co. 

 furnishing the material. 



Dixon, III. — The Clipper Lawn Mow- 

 er Co., of Reading, Pa., is moving its 

 factor^' to this city.
