The Weekly Florists* Review. 



JANUABT 23, 1908, 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



State Society Meeting. 



At the annual meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association, held at the Com- 

 mercial Club January 15, it was unani- 

 mously decided to extend an invitation 

 to the Carnation Society to hold its con- 

 vention in this city in 1909. There was a 

 good attendance present, both from the 

 city and state, and if the society sees 

 fit to accept the invitation, a banner at- 

 tendance and a good time generally is 

 assured. The election of oflScers for the 

 ensuing year resulted as follows: Presi- 

 dent, J. S. Stuart, of Anderson; first 

 vice-president, H. Junge; second vice- 

 president, Chas. Knopf, of Eichmond; 

 secretary, A. F. J. Baur; treasurer, 

 Homer Wiegand. 



The B., K. & B. Floral Co., of Rich- 

 mond, made a fine exhibit with its new 

 carnations Sarah Hill and Lawson-En- 

 chantress, both of which made a very 

 favorable impression on all. Mr. Bar- 

 ick, of Seymour, had some very good 

 Enchantress and Eose-pink Enchantress. 

 Baur & Smith set up a vase of May. 



The out-of-town members present were 

 Messrs. Hill, Knopf and Evans, of Rich- 

 mond; Stuart & Haugh, of Anderson; 

 W. W. Coles and W. A. Bitler, of Ko- 

 komo; Geo. Moore, of Rushville; M. A. 

 Barick, of Seymour, and C. S. Barnaby, 

 of Columbus. 



The Richmond florists invited the Indi- 

 anapolis push to visit them sometime in 

 February, and we will all be there, with 

 thanks. S. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



Business continues to be good, but 

 mostly funeral work. We have had sev- 

 eral good jobs, with smaller ones now 

 and then, to keep us busy all the week. 

 Plant trade is not as good as it might be. 



One day last week I picked about a 

 dozen dandelion blooms in my yard; but 

 now we are having cold weather, with 

 the sun nice and bright, bringing us 

 good stock. Roses, carnations, hyacinths, 

 narcissi, valley and daffodils are in fine 

 shape and bring good prices. 



W. C. Johnson was a visitor last week. 



H. H. R. 



Columbia City, Ind. — The Wagoner 

 Floral Co. has changed management, 

 Mrs. A. J. Wagoner having bought the 

 half interest owned by O. H. Diffen- 

 darfer. Mr. and Mrs. Wagoner will 

 again have exclusive control of the busi- 

 ness, which has g^own to such propor- 

 tions that it has become widely known as 

 an up-to-date establishment. Carnations 

 are their main product.
