The Weekly Florists' Review* 



AUQUST 16, 1906. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Business G)ndiUons. 



The last week has been the hottest we 

 have experienced this Buinmer, and while 

 this city has had several heavy rains, 

 they were partial and only extended a 

 few miles in any direction. Some sec- 

 tions of the country are needing rain 

 badly. Carnation planting is going on 

 apace, and this week will see the ma- 

 jority of the growers finished. 

 Variotis Notes. 



Bertermann Bros, are having their 

 store newly decorated. When finished it 

 will make the place more attractive than 



ever. 



John Eieman is also remodeling his 

 store. He will gain considerably more 

 room by the change he is making and 

 will be in fine shape to handle his in- 

 creasing trade. , 



Walter Bertermann is at Atlantic City 

 trying to find out "What are the Wild 

 Waves Saying." 



William Billingsly is spending his va- 

 cation at Bass Lake fishing and boating, 

 and getting in good shape for the S. A. 

 F. meeting. 



Homer Wiegand and wife are travel- 

 ing in the east, taking in New York 

 city, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, 

 etc., on their trip. 



Eodenbeck Bros, expect to build an 

 addition to their plant at once. S. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Pittsburg and the surrounding country 

 have been visited by severe storms every 

 day the last week, some of them seeming 

 almost cloudbursts; they have done much 

 damage to crops, in some cases ruining 

 them entirely, but with the exception of 

 the loss of several fields of early asters, 

 the growers have not suffered. 



The cut flower trade has been better 

 than the average August business for 

 the last week, especially with the whole- 

 sale houses. They have had a hard time 

 to supply the amount of good stock 

 wanted, but they are having their 

 troubles with the poor grades of asters 

 and small roses, which are coming in a 

 deluge. Gladioli also are a drug on the 

 market, and are selling so cheaply the 

 wholesale men say it does not pay to 

 pack them where they have to be shipped. 



Various Notes. 



Ernest Garland, formerly with the 

 Washington Floral Co., has three houses 

 under way, about 12,000 feet of glass, 

 at Finleyville, which he will plant with 

 carnations for the wholesale trade. 



Joseph Seaman, of Washington, Pa., 

 with Geo. Garland, his foreman, were 

 visitors at the Pittsburg Rose & Carna- 

 tion Co., Bakerstown, Pa., last Saturday, 

 and were highly pleased with what they 

 saw there. Mr. Seaman already has his 

 stock all planted in the houses. 



There will be quite a large delegation 

 to Dayton from Pittsburg, most of whom 

 will leave Monday, August 20, on the 

 train leaving Pittsburg at 9 a. m., via 

 the P. C. C. & St. L.; fare, $9.35, on 

 the certificate plan. Those desiring fur- 

 ther information should call up W. A. 

 Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 



Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Langbans, of 

 Wheeling, W. Va., are spending their va- 

 cation on the farm of Samuel Taylor, 

 Mrs. Langhans' father, near Bellevue, 

 Pa.
