Thomas Eoland's Lorraine begonias 

 are unusually fine thia season. He has 

 an immense batch of cyclamen coming on 

 for Christmas, as well as many other 

 seasonable flowering plants. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club has

In the last issue of the Review, un- 

 der Boston notes, Langwater Gardens 

 are given second prize on garden of 

 spring flowers, when it should have been 

 first prize. F. W. Dahl was first for the 

 small estate, one to three-acre class.

The Market \ 



Business last week was nothing to 

 brag about. Several fair-sized decora- 



tions, with a little funeral work, helped 

 a little, but not enough to call for any 

 overtime. Flowers are plentiful, espe- 

 cially chrysanthemums, which can be 

 bought at your own price at the flower 

 market. The weather still continues 

 warm and there will be no relief until 

 the cold weather arrives. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association of Indiana 

 was held in the Horticultural rooms at 

 the State House Tuesday, November 9. 

 The meeting was well attended, there 

 being a number of out-of-town florists 

 present. A number of vases of seedling 

 mums and carnations were shown, some 

 of which showed considerable "class." 

 Roepke & Eieman staged a vase of about 

 one dozen first-year seedlings, among 

 them being an incurved pink seedling 

 about the color of Chamberlain, that 

 looked good, also a large white exhibi- 

 tion bloom about eight inches in diam- 

 eter that attracted considerable atten- 

 tion. It is pretty hard to judge these 

 blooms, owing to their being first-year 



seedlings, but no tloubt there are some 

 good ones in the lot. H. W. Bieman 

 had several vases of pink and white 

 mum seedlings, aU of which were good. 

 Ho also had a number of vases of carna- 

 tions, among them a dark crimson, % 

 Lawson pink and a rose-pink. Baur & 

 Smith had a number of vases of carna- 

 tions, among them being a white seed- 

 ling, No. 666, of the third year from 

 WMte Perfection blood, but a freer 

 bloomer and a larger flower, and a scar- 

 let. No. 507, a -cross between Robert 

 Craig and Victory, with a shade inter- 

 mediate. Mr. Baur says the latter has 

 the faults of neither and the good quali- 

 ties of both. This should be a winner. 

 They also had a purple. No. 319, which 

 was good for a purple. This firm also 

 had a vase of their new white carnation, 

 Shasta, on exhibition, ^hich they cannot 

 praise enough. Mr. Baur says each plant 

 produced two flowers for October and 

 the buds are getting more numerous 

 every day. 



John Eisner has a pink seedling pot 

 mum which he thinks is the best yet.
