The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Apbil 18, 1905. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The First Spring Show. 



The State Florists' Association of In- 

 diana held its first annual spring ex- 

 hibition in the Horticultural rooms at the 

 State House on April 4 and scored a 

 success. Nearly $100 were offered in 

 premiums and they brought out some 

 very fine exhibits, the stock in all classes 

 being of extraordinary quality. The 

 show was free to the public and the way 

 the people attended was very gratifying. 

 The society sent out through the local 

 members invitations to the flower buyers 

 of the city to come and view the exhibits. 

 One of the prettiest displays in the ex- 

 hibit was that made by A. Wiegand & 

 Sons not for competition. It consisted 

 of a high bank of green plants, studded 

 with blooming plants and baskets and 

 vases of cut blooms. No better adver- 

 tisement could have been got up. 



The premiums awarded were as fol- 

 lows : Hyacinths, Huckriede & Son, first ; 

 H. W. Rieman, second. Tulips and daf- 

 fodils, Bertermann Bros., first; Huck- 

 riede, second. On cinerarias, cyclamens, 

 azaleas and lilacs, Bertermann was first 

 and Bieman second, except on cyclamens, 

 where no second was awarded. On spi- 

 raeas Bieman was first and Huckriede 

 second. For general display Bertermann 

 was first, Bieman second. Sweet peas, 

 Baur & Smith first. 



W. W. Coles, Kokomo, was both first 

 and second for white roses, first for red 

 and pink; E. A. Nelson being second for 

 pink. For "any other color" Nelson 

 was first. Coles second. 



On carnations Baur & Smith were first 

 for white, E. G. Hill Co. second. Pink, 

 J. Hartje first, Baur & Smith second. 

 Light pink, W. W. Coles first. Bed, E. G. 

 Hill Co. first. "Any other color," J. 

 Hartje first, Bertermann second. 



The E. G. Hill Co. was awarded a 

 certificate of merit on Carnation Car- 

 dinal. H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md., 

 were awarded certificates of merit on My 

 Maryland, a grand white, and Jessica, a 

 fine large variegated. In the Berter- 

 mann general display they showed a fine 

 bunch of Hill's new rose, Bosalind Orr 

 English. For color and general beauty 

 this rose is hard to beat and it surely 

 will find a place among the standard cut 

 flower sorts. J. Hartje and the Indian- 

 apolis Flower & Plant Po. showed a vase 

 of their new pink. Carnation Candace, a 

 beautiful shade of bright pink of good 

 size, form and a fine commercial variety 

 in every respect. They did not enter 

 it for certificate, so it was not scored.
