EVANSVILLE.IND. 



The Market. 



Business has been good, in spite of the 

 extremely hot weather, for the last two 

 weeks. Boses and carnations are poor 

 and the retailers find it rather diflScult 

 to turn out first-class work. 



Various Notes. 



Ben Kramer reports that business for 

 June was the best he has enjoyed since 

 opening his store. 



Carl Ziedler says that business has 

 been excellent with him. 



Henry Weymour had a busy week at 

 the end of June and used lots of roses 

 and carnations. 



John Elsperman is remodeling his place 

 and is building one new house 20x75, 

 which will be planted to carnations. 



Koyston & Fenton have cut all their 

 roses back and will run them the third 

 year. 



Frank Wells has been engaged by 

 Julius Niednagel & Sons as plantsman. 

 He will grow their mums, etc. 



E. L. F. 



The tritomas advertised are all sold 

 and many orders had to be turned down. 

 They came all the way from Massachu- 

 setts to Salt Lake City and Texas. — 

 C. S. EiDGWAY, Lumberton, N. J. 



Please discontinue our advertisement, 

 as we are completely sold out. This has 

 convinced my proprietor that nobody else 

 can sell as quick as the Beview does. —

Godfrey Aschmann, the Arancaria Kiog 



Is More Active than Ever 



Four Houses FiHed with the Best. With What? 

 Sure, with AR4UCARIAS, His Specialty 



Empty houses! That won't do. What shall I 

 plant? What is the most profitable? Listen to 

 what your neighbor florist has to say. Mr. Mc- 

 (^inty to George Know Nothing: "I filled a rea- 

 sonable portion of my greenhouses last year 

 with Godfrey Ascbmann's Araucarias, and I tell 

 you straight out I was only sorry I did not buy 

 more. In two weeks, just when the demand was 

 the biggest, my stock was nearly exhausted. 

 This year I shall be smarter. La>t week my order 

 to Aschmann called for just double the amount. 

 I never can lose anything on such an investment 

 as that. Every dollar put in Araucarias yields 

 three to four times the value while we're asleep." 



We are one of the largest Importers of these 

 well-known and beautiful evergreen decorative 

 plants, the .Aranraria Robnata Compacta, 

 Excelaa Glaaca and £xcelsa. 



Florists should bear in mind that no home, gar- 

 den, lawn, etc., is complete without the Araucaria;

 name, as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never 

 die out, and is still fresh in people's minds, same 



as when we first started. Why the ^'»"^f "ient 

 80 popular is because it is an ancient 5i»°VfS^ta 

 by Greeks and Romans as a special favoniwiu 

 their household, as a good omen.
