The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Jnini 1, 1011. 



$25,000 a Year from 12 Acres 



And a STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE Helped to Make It 



The Market Growers Journal has published a booklet describing the experience of one of the 

 most successful market gardeners in the country, one who has found that The Standard 

 Pumping Engine has been his best investment. His experience is merely one of hundreds. 

 This booklet contains many helpful hints for the grower, which cannot fail to interest you, 

 and it will be sent upon request by

The Market. 



Trade has been decidedly good for 

 the last week. Funeral work, wedding 

 decorations and the bedding trade kept 

 the florists on the jump even before the 

 special Memorial day demand began to 

 be felt. 



The hot weather has had a bad effect 

 on roses and carnations, but there is an 

 abundance of other flowers. The peony 

 crop is unusually large this year, bui 

 many of them were early for Memorial 

 day. Candytuft, sweet peas, daisies and 

 lilies are to be had in quantities. 



The bedding trade has been good this 

 season, but the hot weather will cut it 

 short, as many people who have over- 

 looked getting their plants will leave 

 for the summer resorts soon, and do 

 without the plants. 



Various Notes. 



B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, spent 

 a day in the city last week to dispose of 

 his surplus bedding stock. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. F. J. Baur spent sev- 

 eral days in Richmond last week. Ee- 

 cently the park board converted Thirty- 

 eighth street into a boulevard and wi- 

 dened it fifty feet. Mr. Baur's resi- 

 dence stood too near the street and it 

 became necessary to move it back about 

 twenty-five feet. 



Harry Balsley and W. H. Elverson 

 were both in the city at the same time 

 last week, talking flower pots. 



The Pahud Floral Co. and E. A. Nel- 

 son have their hands full, filling ceme- 

 tery vases. They report the plant busi- 

 ness satisfactory. 



The June meeting of the State Flo- 

 rists' Association of Indiana will be 

 held in the horticultural rooms in the 

 State house. 



A. "Wiegand & Sons were summoned 

 last week, along with a number of 

 others, for not having a license on their 

 delivery auto. 



Frank Farney, with M. Rice & Co., 

 was a caller last week. As usual, he 

 reports business flourishing. 



The Indianapolis Flower and Plant 

 Co. reports an excellent business in bed- 

 ding stock this year. This firm is send 

 ing quantities to the market daily. 



Ollie Hobbs, with the Bridgeport Nur- 

 series, who has been seriously ill with 

 pneumonia, is much improved. 



Albert Pettit had a fine cut of sweet 

 peas for Memorial day. He has dis- 

 posed of a great quantity of bedding 

 stock. 



Hartje & Elder had a fine lot of fe- 

 verfew, sweet peas and candytuft for 

 Memorial day. H. L. W.
