The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Se!^ 



Dec: 



23, 1909. 



PHOENIX, AHIZ. 



The annual flower show, held here re- 

 cently, is reported to have been highly 

 creditable and successful, decidedly the 

 best in the three years since these shows 

 were started. Home & Armstrong had 

 especially fine exhibits and won eleven 

 first prizes. 



All the flowers for the exhibits were 

 cut from the open, as there are roses to 

 cut outside here until February. During 

 February the pruning is done, and it may 

 be said that February is the only month 

 when there are no roses to cut. Carna- 

 tions, sweet peas, mums and violets are 

 now in bloom outdoors. There was a 

 little touch of frost a few nights ago, but 

 it did not do much damage. Oranges 

 may have been slightly affected by it, 

 but not seriously. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Business for the last week has been 

 good, notwithstanding the fact that it 

 was the week before Christmas, which 

 is usually quiet. We have been experienc- 

 ing some unusually cold weather for this 

 time of the year, as the thermometer 

 registered within a few degrees of zero 

 a half dozen times in the last two weeks. 

 Old Sol has been quite lenient with us, 

 as he has shown himself for a number 

 of days. The indications are that we 

 are going to have a banner Christmas 

 this year. Stock, I believe, is going to 

 be plentiful, with the prices well up. 

 Beauties are not especially good, par- 

 ticularly the medium grades, but Kil- 

 larney are fine and no doubt will lead 

 in roses. Carnations are plentiful and 

 the stock is good. Poinsettias, valley, 

 hyacinths and Paper Whites are in evi- 

 dence, but there will be a shortage in 

 sweet peas. Most of the violets will be 

 shipped in from the Hudson river dis- 

 trict. The green goods men no doubt 

 are busy, as there is an advance in the 

 price of holly and garland about every 

 three or four days. There is a good 

 supply of pot plants to be had. Some 

 fine azaleas, Gloire de Lorraine begonias, 

 poinsettias, cyclamen and primulas are 

 to be seen. 



Various Notes. 



Baur & Smith are having a heavy cut 

 of carnations for Christmas. This firm 

 also has a fine bench of poinsettias. 



E. A. Nelson has added a two-horse 

 van to his equipment. He is showing 

 some fine azaleas and cyclamen, also a 

 bench of stevia and poinsettias. 



At the recent meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association, Meyer Heller of 

 New Castle, Nixon H. Gano of Mar- 

 tinsville, and W. A. Rieman of Vin- 

 cennes, were elected to membership. 



H. W. Rieman has had trouble with 

 the mite on his cyclamen this year. Mr. 

 Rieman believes that he has a remedy 

 for it, and there is no doubt that the 

 plants are showing improvement since 

 the remedy has been applied. The plants 

 have been immersed in a solution of six 

 spoonfuls of To-bak-ine and five gallons 

 of water about once a week and have 

 been watered with a weak solution of 

 lime water. 



Bertermann Bros, predict a large 

 Christmas business, that is if the week 

 previous signifies anything, as they have 

 an unusual amount of work booked. 

 This firm has as fine a lot of cyclamen 

 and Gloire de Lorraine begonias as there 

 is to be seen anywhere.
