INDIANAPOLIS. 



Current G)mment. 



Trade for the last week has been ex- 

 tra good, St. Valentine's day being a 

 big factor. All the store men report a 

 rushing business on that occasion; in 

 fact, some class it with Christmas day. 

 The business will stand a few of these 

 days mixed in; they constitute the sugar 

 plums. The Aveather man is doing bet- 

 ter and altogether the world looks con- 

 siderably brighter. 



William Dow, of the Belleview green- 

 houses, is studying for the medical pro- 

 fession. 



Irwin Bprtcrmann has a seedling car- 

 nation he is justly proud of. It is a 

 good, bright pink with a fine stem and 

 calyx, something on the Imperial order. 

 It is the result of a cross between Pros- 

 perity and Enchantress. 



The Bash Seed Co. is putting in a 

 full line of florists' supplies and aims 

 to keep it up-to-date, something that 

 was needed in this city. 



Baur & Smith have had fine success 

 in disposing of their 2-inch geraniums. 

 They went like hot cakes. AdA'crtising 

 does it. Next year this firm will be 

 strictly in it when it comes to 2-inch 

 geraniums. They could have sold thou- 

 sands more if they had had them. 



Theodore Dorner, of Lafayette, has 

 become a member of the State Florists' 

 Association. S. 



Syracuse, N. Y. — Practical jokers 

 have been using the telephone for mali- 

 cious mischief, such as giving Henry 

 Morris fictitious orders for flowers to 

 be delivered at the homes of well-known 

 people and charged.

PREPARE FOR EASTER 



An immense stock of choice Easter plants, 

 blooming Easter week, or earlier if desired, are 

 now ready (oi immediate shipment. Oome or 

 maU your order direct to the headquarters. Our 

 reputation over the entire country from the 

 Atlantic to the Pacific In growing Easter stuff 

 for tlie wholesale market for many years past 

 ought to be sufficient guarantee aa to the truth 

 of what we say and advertise. We have every 

 house, nook and corner full of plants and they 

 were never so fine as this year, 1907. While 

 laborers, merchants, jobbers, contractors, build- 

 ers, etc., have increased their prices almost 

 double as usual, we have not advanced our 

 prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same 

 old prices charged two or three years ago when 

 the cost of producing plants was much cheapei .
