AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF WJKSUYMCN. 



Pres., E. AlbertBOn, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo. 

 C. Seasrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The Slst annual convention will be held at 

 DaUas, Texas, June, 1906. 



The peony dealers report larger sales 

 than ever this season. 



O. P. Nichols established a nursery 

 business at Davenport, la., in 1858 and 

 since 1865 the business has been con- 

 ducted by Nichols & Lorton. 



W. E. Chapin, manager of the Mid- 

 land Nursery Co., Des Moines, la,, died 

 September 15 after an operation for 

 goiter. He was 63 years of age. 



J. W. Tetibick & Son, Blackwell, 

 Okla., report that stock has made an ex^ 

 ceptional growth this season and pros- 

 pects for business are very bright. 



James B. Hutchison has sold his 

 nursery at Litchfield, 111., to Wm. Price, 

 of Greenville, who will dispose of the 

 stock and follow market gardening. 



NuRSERYMEiN in Southern Indiana re- 

 port a very good growing season, with 

 good crops among the farmers and every 

 prospect for a record-breaking fall and 

 spring. 



Pending a test of the new law in Indi- 

 ana providing penalties for delivering 

 fruit trees not true to name, many nurs- 

 erymen are inclined to go slow in that 

 state, for accidents will happen in the 

 best regulated of families. 



The American Pomological Society is 

 holding its twenty-ninth biennial meet- 

 ing this week at Kansas City. The at- 

 tendance is thought to have suffered 

 somewhat by reason of postponement 

 from the date first announced. 



Charles Waters, of "White Salmon, 

 Wash., claims that the "seedless" apple 

 now known as Spencer's originated in 

 Virginia and that he had stock of it 

 before the Civil War, selling part to 

 Spencer in 1890. Mr. Waters says the 

 fruit is valueless. 



With many of the wholesale growers 

 of nursery stock the fall season is now 

 almost as heavy as in spring, due to the 

 fact that all stock now goes into stor- 

 age houses and many buyers who sell 

 again prefer to have the stock in their 

 own houses during winter. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Indiana State Fair. 



The Indiana State Fair was held here 

 September 11 to 15. The usual premiums 

 were offered for plants and cut flowers, 

 which brought some very good exhibits, 

 especially in the floral design classes. 

 The plant exhibits were hardly up to the 

 standard and Judge Bock withheld one or 

 two premiums. The plant prizes were 

 pretty well divided between Baur Sa 

 Smith, E. A.' Nelson and Wm. Billings- 

 ley. The first day John Rieman took 

 first on two floral designs, Nelson taking 

 second and Wm. Billingsley third. On 

 two baskets, J. Rieman was first and 

 Nelson second. On cut dahlias Rieman 

 was first and W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, 

 second. On cut roses W. W. Coles took 



first for the thirteenth time, and Rie- 

 man second. On collection of cut flow- 

 ers W. W. Coles was first and Nelson 

 second. 



On Thursday, in the class for origi- 

 nal floral arrangement, J. Rieman put 

 up the finest piece of work ever shown 

 at the Indiana State Fair. It was a 

 parlor lamp six feet high. Not only 

 was the piece very appropriate but the 

 colors used and the finish of the work 

 could not have been improved upon. Wm. 

 Billingsley ran a close second, with a 

 reproduction of a painting of a basket 

 of roses. At any previous fair this 

 would have won out. E. A. Nelson's 

 gondola was a pretty piece and elicited 

 much praise. 



On this day for two bouquets, Rie- 

 man was first. Nelson second and Coles 

 third. On cut gladioli Rieman was first, 

 Coles second and Nelson third. 



There was the usual amount of ama- 

 teur stuff but nothing out of the ordi- 

 nary. Many out-of-town florists were 

 in the city during the week, among 

 whom was E. G. Hill, of Richmond. 



The Fall Flower Show. 



The managing committee of florists, 

 consisting of J. Hartje, Mrs. Vesey, F. 

 Dorner, Jr., E. G. Hill, A. F. J. Baur, H. 

 Young, H. W. Rieman and J. A. E. 

 Haugh, held a meeting one day 

 last week and rearranged the prem- 



ium list for the fall show. Sev- 

 eral hundred dollars was added to 

 the total and, instead of adding 

 to the number of classes, it was consid- 

 ered advisable to make the premiums 

 larger, especially on a few special classes 

 in which the public always takes much 

 interest. The rose premiums were raised 

 all around but the Beauty premiums were- 

 made especially attractive. For 100 

 Beauties five premiums are offered, $100,. 

 $75, $50, $35 and $25. The carnation 

 premiums were also raised so as to make 

 them more attractive. The final list will 

 be out about the last of October and can 

 be had on application to I. Bertermann, 

 who is secretary- The general support 

 for the show seems excellent and this i» 

 expected to be the best show ever given 

 here. The management is doing all la 

 its power to boom it to the public. In- 

 tending exhibitors are already inquiring 

 about the list, space, etc. Among them 

 are W. K. I*artridge, of Lockland, O.,. 

 and Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian^ 

 Mich., both of whom have been among 

 the successful exhibitors at our shows 

 for years. They will have plenty of com- 

 petition, however, from our own boys, if 

 present appearance of stock is any indi- 

 cation. There are not a great many large 

 specimen plants being grown around 

 here, but what there are are in fine 

 shape. Of the market plant sizes there 

 will be a fine show. A. B.
