The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOTDMBEB 25, 1909. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Only slight improvement is noticeable 

 in the flower market, probably owing to 

 the continued warm weather. Chrysan- 

 themums have shortened up considerably 

 in the last week, no doubt on account of 

 the growers holding them for Thanks- 

 giving. Lilies and callas are both of 

 good quality. Lily of the valley, violets 

 and orchids meet with a fair sale. Some 

 Paper Whites are to be seen, but they 

 are not in great demand yet. Sweet 

 peas are arriving in fair quantity and 

 meet with a good demand. Beauties, 

 roses and carnations are equal to the de- 

 mand. There are some good Lorraine 

 begonias, cyclamens and primulas to be 

 •seen, but as yet there is little demand. 



Various Notes. 



Ed. Bankin has taken over the green- 

 tiouses at Broad Ripple, formerly man- 

 aged by the A. A. Warner Co. Mr. 

 Rankin has gone to considerable ex- 

 pense in overhauling the place, having 

 put a new roof on the boiler shed, be- 

 sides going over the entire heating sys- 

 tem and making numerous other repairs. 



Koepke & Rieman have a fine crop of 

 «milax coming on for Christmas. This 

 firm has a bench of California violets 

 and pansies this year, and if success- 

 ful, intend to increase the quantity next 

 year. 



The Smith & Young Co. has been 

 ■sending in some good Brides and Maids. 

 This firm reports good success with or- 

 chids this year, liaving been making 

 regular shipments to St. Louis and Chi- 

 -cago. 



At Wiegand & Sons have suffered 

 ■quite a loss in their cyclamen, having 

 lost about one-half of their entire lot 

 ■on account of the mite. The plants 

 were looking exceptionally fine until the 

 last three or four weeks, when they be- 

 gan to show unmistakable evidence of 

 this pest. 



J. J. Karins, with II. A. Dreer, was in 

 the city last week. 



John Rieman served last week on the 

 jury that acquitted the moving picture 

 show people, on trial for keeping open 

 on Sunday. 



B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, was a 

 "visitor last week. Mr. Hensley says 

 he has a fine lot of mums for Thanks- 

 giving. 



F. W. Brandt, who purchased Wm. 

 Billingsly's place, reports business good. 



Alvin Schreiber, foreman for Berter- 

 mann Bros., has a fine lot of cyclamen 

 and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine coming 

 on for Christmas. Mr. Schreiber is 

 •hard to beat on these two plants.
