The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Siiri'EMBEn 2, 1909. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



liiisinesa during the month of August 

 wan satisfactory for that time of the 



; year. There was a steaily demand for 

 funeral fiowers, and there were few of 



, the 'days that were so numerous in July, 

 when there was absolutely ' * nothing- 

 doing. " 



Good flowers are scarce. A few fine 

 asters have come in, but not half enough 

 to go around. Roses, gladioli and carna- 

 tions are slow in coming in. Quantities 

 of dahlias are to be seen, some of the 

 light colors making a substitute for 

 asters. Some good Golden Glow mums 

 are arriving, but there is no heavy de- 



. mand for mums yet. 



Various Notes. 



A severe hail storm passed over the 

 , south part of the city last week, causing 

 considerable loss to the florists and mar- 

 ket gardeners in that vicinity. August 

 Rieman probably suff'ered the most, the 

 hail completely ruining all of his outdoor 

 stuft" and a greater part of his glass. 

 John Heidenreich lost about 600 panes 

 of glass. This is the second time the 

 hail has visited these same florists this 

 year. Last spring a more severe storm 

 passed over this section, doing consider- 

 ably more damage than this time. 



Fred Stolti, of A. Wiegand & Sous, 

 has returned from his vacation. 



W. J. Hasselman, of the Indianapolis 

 Flower & Plant Co., is putting up a fine 

 new residence at Thirty-fourth street and 

 Central avenue. A number of years ago 

 Mr. Hasselman 's house was burned to 

 the ground and this one is to take the 

 place of the former, only on a much finer 

 scale. 



S. S. Skidelsky paid us a visit last 

 week. Mr. Skidelsky says the outlook is 

 encouraging. 



Henry Rothermel, son of Silas Rother- 

 mel, the Brightwood florist, was severely 

 burned at the fire of the Tiona Refining 

 Co. last week. 



Alfred Pahud, who was injured by fall- 

 ing off a street car on his return from 

 the convention, is getting along nicely 

 and expects to be out in a few davs. 



H. L. W. 



Raleigh, N. V. — J. L. O'Quinu & Co. 

 have completed another new house, and 

 their range is now in the form of a com- 

 plete block, containing 30,000 square feet 

 of glass. By July 31 they had planted 

 all the houses to roses, carnations and 

 mums, except the section intended for 

 palms, ferns, greens and general potting 

 plants. They find, they say, that early 

 housing of carnations is a deci<led ad- 

 vantage in the south.
