TheWeddy Florists' Review. 



AUQC8T 31, 1911. 



INDIAN APOUS. 



The Market. 



Business remains quiet and season- 

 able, and there is no surplus of choice 

 stock. Eoses are improving somewhat, 

 as are Beauties. Some good astere are 

 to be had. Gladioli are plentiful, but 

 dahlias are a little slow in coming in. 



This has been an exceedingly bad 

 year for geraniums and the outlook 

 for next year's stock is anything but 

 bright. Alphonse Bicard suffered the 

 most, while S. A. Nutt looks much bet- 

 ter. It seems that the dry, hot weather 

 in May and June stunted them and 

 they never recovered. 



Various Notes. 



John Bargman, formerly in the em- 

 ploy of several Indianapolis florists, 

 but now of Chicago, spent several^days 

 here last week. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. initiated a new 

 delivery auto last week. This one is 

 a Premier, with the body enameled 

 white, and is a most attractive car. 



William Hack, of Bridgeport, is com- 

 pleting a new greenhouse. 



Hans Kipke, with A. Wiegand & 

 Sons, leaves this week for a three 

 months' visit in Germany. 



Henry Backmeyer is back at work 

 after a two weeks' vacation at Bass 

 lake and Chicago. 



A. "Wiegand & Sons have their de- 

 livery auto back into service after 

 a month in the paint shop. Homer 

 Wiegand is back on the job after a 

 month in northern Michigan. 



Sidney Smith, of the Columbia Con- 

 servatories, has had an exceedingly 

 busy summer. He has overhauled his 

 entire plant, painted the greenhouses 

 inside and out, enlarged the boiler pit 

 and installed a new heating system. 

 He says that he is about through now 

 and ready for business. 



Thursday, August 31, there was to 

 be another florists' picnic, this one to 

 be giv^n at the Roepke-Rieman plant, 

 east of the city. There was to be a 

 ball game and various other sports 

 and amusements, and it has been tipped 

 off that this picnic is in charge of the 

 ' 'anti-drys. " 



The indications are that the entries 

 will be well filled at the state fair 

 next week. Tl|| premium list has been 

 increased andi:|ad|litfonal space has 

 been provided. Fred Dorner is to act 

 as judge, and Herman Junge is to be 

 superintendent of exhibits. 



Ed Larsen, with Baur & Steinkamp, 

 is back on the job again. Mr. Larsen 

 has been ill with malarial fever for 

 the last month. H. L. W.
