The Market. 



Trade was fair last week. The mar- 

 ket is shortening, but there is enough 

 stock to go around. Carnations are 

 not at all plentiful. Beauties are show- 

 ing the effects of the cloudy weather. 

 Chrysanthemums are of the past. Vio- 

 lets are selling unusually well this 

 season. Some first-class Killarney, 

 Richmond, Bride and Maid are to be 

 had. Sweet peas are becoming more 

 plentiful. Cypripediums are plentiful, 

 but move slowly. Cattleyas are be- 

 coming more plentiful, some fine Triana 

 being seen. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association was held at 

 the wholesale rooms of the Smith & 

 Young Co., 134 North Alabama street, 

 December 5. President Gause was in 

 the chair, with about twenty-five mem- 

 bers present. Four new members, 

 Houston Tall, Thomas Hart, Earl Har- 

 ger and Oliver Steinkamp, were elected. 

 The association now has about 100 

 members. B. F. Hensley, W. AV. Coles 

 and J. S. Stuart were selected to inves- 

 tigate a bill prepared by the state en- 

 tomologist regarding the inspection of 

 plants. Albert Pittet, Albert Marshall 

 and Charles Pahud were appointed to 

 audit the secretary's and treasurer's 

 books. Homer Wiegand, Herman Junge 

 and Will Roepke were named to look 

 after the entertainment for the annual 

 meeting, which is to be held January 

 17. Baur & Steinkamp showed a vase 

 of their new red carnation, St. Nich- 

 olas, which received favorable comment. 

 Among the out-of-town florists present 

 were W. W. Coles, of Kokomo; J. S. 

 Stuart, of Anderson; B. F. Hensley, of 

 Knightstown; George Gause, of Rich- 

 mond, and W. H. Cossairt, of Shelby- 

 ville. After the meeting a Dutch lunch 

 was served by Smith & Young Co.

Wheeler's 

 light Pink Snapdragon 



Very early and free, beautiful color. 



R. Cameron writes; 



(Pa«re986. ihe Florists' Exchange) 

 "James Wheeler eihibited three fine vases of 

 Snapdragon, a pink variety which oriRinated 

 with him; it is most pleasing and more florifer- 

 ouB than any other variety."
