The Market. 



Trade touditious continue the same as 

 far as present business is concerned. 

 However, the stores report orders booked 

 far ahead of last season, and most of 

 their best customers still away. Flowers 

 of all kinds are more than plentiful. Val- 

 ley was scarce a couple of days, but the 

 last of the week it was more than plen- 

 tiful. 



Variotu Notes. 



The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. is 

 cutting Killarney, "White Killarney and 

 Maryland good enough for winter stock. 

 A few good carnations are reaching the 

 market. 



The club met at the store of the Mc- 

 Callum Co. Tuesday evening, September 

 7, where those who attended the S. A. F. 

 convention uad a good opportunity to 

 say a word for the Cincinnati florists. 

 They report the convention as fine and 

 the entertainment by the Cincinnatiana 

 as the best ever. The members are be- 

 coming enthusiastic about the carnation 

 convention, and the committee is being 

 stirred up and instructed to have a report 

 at the next meeting. The club has made 

 arrangements to hold its meetings in 

 the future at the Fort Pitt hotel, which 

 is to be the headquarters of the carna- 

 tion convention. 



George E. Elliott, who was injured a 

 week ago, is at the Mercy hospital and 

 improving as well as could be expected. 



Charles Eisner, who left a week ago 

 for the west, was in the accident to the 

 B. & O. flier. He was found under a 

 car, but when gotten out was not seri- 

 ously injured, and continued his journey.

INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Business shows a decided improvement, 

 and it will not be long before we are 

 going at our usual gait. Good flowers 

 are still scarce. Carnations are short- 

 stemmed. Bride and Maid are small. 

 Some fine Killarney is to be had. Some 

 good dahlias are coming in, but are not in 

 heavy demand. The florists in the flower 

 market say business is not what it should 

 be, but a few weeks more and a little 

 cool weather will cause things to open up. 



Exhibition at State Fair. 



Last week witnessed one of the best 

 exhibitions of flowers that has been seen 

 at the state fair for a number of years. 

 The premium list was revised by the 

 State Florists' Association of Indiana 

 this year, and, by the untiring efforts of 

 Secretary A. F. J. Baur, the entries were 

 more than double last year. The man- 

 agement of the fair was so well pleased 

 t£it they promised the entire Horticul-

tural building for the exhibition next 

 year, as the space was inadequate for the 

 favorable showing of the cut flowers and 

 plants. The State Florists' Association 

 is going to make an effort to have about 

 $500 added to the premium list next 

 year, and this, with additional space, 

 ought to have the desired results. Tlie 

 following is the list of awards:
