The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FBBBUABT 6, 1912. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



We are having aaother spell of zero 

 weather. We have had the coldest 

 weather and more of it this winter 

 than any time for fifteen years. Coal - 

 bills are high and flowers are scarce. 

 Eoses are oflf crop, so there are not 

 nearly enough to go around. Carnations 

 are more plentiful, but there are not 

 quite enough of these. Business has 

 been excellent at times, but poor at 

 other times. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons will have 

 to move one house at the south of 

 the range, in order to allow Bell street 

 to be opened up. A street car line will 

 be built on this street and for the pres- 

 ent will end right at the greenhouse. 

 This will be a great convenience, as 

 well as profitable for them. This firm 

 is short of roses and carnations, espe- 

 cially roses. 



The Blackman Floral Co. is building 

 two new houses. Progress would be 

 more rapid if it were not for the cold 

 weather. Flowers are scarce and they 

 have to buy considerable quantities 

 from others. 



Miss Nellie Goodge is cutting some 

 excellent carnations on good„ long stems. 

 Her varied stock is in good shape and 

 doing well. It has been reported that 

 her place is for sale, but she denies 

 the rumor. When she is ready to sell 

 the sale will be made quickly, as there 

 are several florists here ready to buy 

 the greenhouses and the five acres of 

 land. The place is valuable, being just 

 at the entrance to Oak Hill cemetery. 



Louis Fritsch has been cutting a 

 nice lot of carnations each week. He 

 has his new houses about completed. 



Henry Seymour has been cutting a 

 lot of carnations, but has had to buy 

 quite a good many lately. 



Royston & Fenton are still short of 

 roses. 



Austin Wallace had some trouble in 

 keeping up steam enough on the night 

 of February 3, when the temperature, 

 went to 6 degrees below zero, but he 

 managed to keep from freezing up. 

 His carnations are looking fine and are 

 full of buds. E. L. F.

 den Glow mimis will want to try
