says the prospect is for a few weeks 

 of excellent business for the rose growers. 



At E. H. Hunt's all hands are putting 

 in as much time as possible on the an- 

 nual inventory. Business on To-bak-ine 

 is reported as having taken a spurt of 

 late. 



Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, re- 

 ports the refusal of a C. O. D. sent to 

 a party at Shreveport, La. It was turned 

 over to J. W. Begbie, of that town, who 

 writes, under date of January 16, that 

 he has taken up nearly twenty such 

 shipments to the same concern in the last 

 few weeks, ordered under different names. 



Kobert Schenk, well known in this city, 

 has closed his store at Columbus, O., and 

 writes friends here that he has dropped 

 enough money so that he is ready to go 

 back to work for somebody else. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is having espe- 

 cially good results with carnations this 

 season, much better than in the last 

 couple of years. 



Kruchten & Co. say the call for funer- 

 al work has sent short roses up a good 

 deal more than longer stock. 



A deed was filed for record January 

 19, by which the property now occupied 

 by J. F. Kidwell & Bro., at Thirty-fifth 

 street and Wentworth avenue, was 

 transferred to the proprietors of the 

 adjoining ball park. The Kidwell lease 

 still has some two years to run. The 

 transaction has some additional interest 

 because it is only the second time this 

 property has changed hands since the 

 government gave title to it in 1834. 



Christina Baigholz, mother of F. C. 

 Baigholz, the North Clark street florist, 

 died January 16. The funeral was held 

 Tuesday. She was 68 years of age. 



E. C. Amling notes a special call for 

 yellow flowers this week. Tulips are 

 about all of this color that are available. 

 The few jonquils arriving are not 

 enough to cut any figure. 



Among recent visitors were Ed. Ka- 

 lisch, of Kalisch Bros. Floral Co., St. 

 Louis; Mrs. Frances Spickerman, Sand- 

 wich, HI. ; William La Hayn, Chesterton, 

 Ind. ; Thomas Keeshan, Junction City, 

 Kan. ; W. G. Matthews, Dayton, O. ; Geo. 

 H. Bancroft, Cedar Falls, la. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



State Florists' Society. 



The annual meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Society was held at the 

 Commercial Club January 12. President 

 Stuart was in the chair and all other 

 oflScers were present, with a good attend- 

 ance of members. The election of offi- 

 cers for the ensuing year was the chief 

 business of the day and that was soon 

 over, as all were reelected unanimously. 



The reports of the secretary and treas- 

 urer showed the society to be in a good 

 condition, both as to members and 

 finances. 



Different subjects came up for dis- 

 cussion, hut the chief topic was the con- 

 vention, and a most excellent spirit of co- 

 operation was manifested, which speaks 

 well for the success of the convention and 

 the society itself. When all are pulling 

 one way, something is bound to happen, 

 and we have a membership that is going 

 to do it. 



The following members staged flowers:
