The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOVEMBEB 29, 1906. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Judging by reports from several grow- 

 ers, the last week has been the mum 

 week of the season, both for flowers and 

 orders. All the retailers' windows were 

 decorated with mums of all colors and 

 sizes, and the market was simply glut- 

 ted. No price could tempt a buyer. It 

 is to be hoped that prices will take a 

 decided rise on November 29, so that the 

 day may be a real Thanksgiving for the 

 trade. 



Eobert Ellis, with Bertermann Bros., 

 has become a benedict, having married 

 Miss Morgan, of Anderson. Miss Morgan 

 was formerly with Stuart & Haugh. 



E. A. McKeand, florist at the Soldiers ' 

 Home, Marion, was in the city last week 

 shaking hands with his many friends. 



A. F. J. Bauer and E. Larsen paid a 

 visit to F. Dorner & Sons Co., La Fay- 

 ette, and saw many interesting things 

 among the carnations. The benches of 

 White Perfection were especially fine. 

 The firm has some seedling chrysanthe- 

 mums that will make their mark later. 



Visitors this week: A. B. Hyatt, of 

 Anderson; George Fulle, of Kichmond, 

 and W. W. Coles, of Kokomo. S. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The opening of the theatrical season, 

 when fashionable society takes a great 

 interest, also race track and balls in ad- 

 vance of the carnival time, is bringing a 

 good demand for flowers and decora- 

 tions. Plants are just now not in much 

 demand, and we are preparing our stock 

 for the holidays and in anticipation of a 

 good spring sale. The markets are gen- 

 erally dull, only foliage plants being dis- 

 posed of. 



Jules Fonta has been taking the place 

 of E. Baker at the Upper city park. Sev- 

 eral planters from Central America have 

 been visiting the different parks lately. 

 What does not seem to be generally 

 known is that the Ficus elastica, which 

 is grown here in quantity for decorative 

 purposes, is not the kind from which the 

 most of india rubber gum is extracted. 

 They took great interest in the variety 

 of ficus which is kept in the horticultural 

 hall at Audubon park. They promised to 

 forward to the association some exotic 

 plants from Central America in exchange 

 for some of our own production.

 little sum for the society.
