Mention The Review when you write 



a recent importation of roses. The ap- 

 praiser classified them as rose plants, 

 on which the duty would be 2^4 cents 

 each, but Judge Waite said Stumpp & 

 Walter were right in claiming entry as 

 rose cuttings, on which the duty is 25 

 per cent ad valorem. 



EVANSVILLE,IND. 



The Market. 



The usual summer dullness is here. If 

 it were not for an occasional funeral, the 

 store men could close up and go fishing. 

 The dried off roses are producing again, 

 but of course they are short. Carna- 

 tions are poor. Carnations in the field 

 are growing finely, owing to an abund- 

 ance of rain, while the cool weather has 

 been a great help to carnations that have 

 been benched. Asters have been slow in 

 coming. 



Vaiiottt Notes. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are having a 

 150 horse-power boiler made to order, 

 which will heat their enlarged plant. 

 Their old boiler will be retained for 

 use in case of an accident. The old 

 houses have been torn down and the 

 framework of one large house is up, 

 while another is still to be built. 



Ben Kramer says business has been 

 dull lately. 



The Blackman Floral Co. has been cut- 

 ting some nice Killarney. E. L. T.

The Market 



The weather was so delightful in this 

 city last week that no one cared whether 

 he got a vacation or not, and those who 

 were away were sorry for it. 



Speaking about trade, there is just 

 about enough to give the employees ex- 

 ercise and keep them from going to sleep. 



The wholesale houses report trade some 

 better than last year and the stock looks 

 good for summer, especially Kaiserin and 

 Killarney. Asters are becoming more 

 plentiful every day, with enough lilies 

 and gladioli to go around. Carnations 

 are about gone, as there is no one in 

 this section who plants for the summer 

 trade. Anyhow, * ' what 's the use ? ' ' Who 

 will buy carnations when asters are 

 right! 



Most of the growers here have all their 

 carnations of the Lawson type benched 

 and report stock in the field as looking 

 fine. 



Variota Notes. 



E. C. Beineman has been appointed 

 by the club to arrange for conducting a 

 good sized party to Cincinnati for the 

 S. A. F. convention. If the packets can 

 run, they will probably go by boat. 



T. P. Langhans, with his family, 

 leaves this week for Atlantic City. 



Schenley Conservatories have not been 

 able to keep up their usual summer show 

 this year, as they are putting in new 

 iron benches in their show houses, in 

 place of old ones which have rotted away, 

 but a visit to their growing and propa- 

 gating houses will satisfy you, and as 

 soon as repairs and painting are done, 

 there will be something doing at Schen- 

 ley, and the fall shows will surpass any- 

 thing they have ever had. 



Mr. Harvey, chief manager for Mrs. E. 

 A. Williams, has returned from quite an 

 extended vacation in which he combined 

 business and pleasure. Hoo-Hoo. 



Charlotte, N. C. — McPhee Bros., for- 

 merly proprietors of the Dilworth Floral 

 Gardens, have gone out of business. 



East Randolph, N. Y. — Percy Wilks 

 has left for Louisville, Ky., where he is 

 to work for the Randolph Seed Co. 



West Grove, Pa. — Roney Bros, say 

 they finished benching 10,000 carnation 

 plants just before the twenty-five days' 

 drought was broken, July 22. They 

 planted Enchantress, Winona, Afterglow, 

 Victory, Beacon, White Perfection, The 

 Queen, Dorothy and Eldorado. The 

 plants were short and well branched, but 

 suffering for want of water. Since the 

 rain gave abundant water supply they 

 are taking hold well.
