The Florists' Review 



Febrlaey 13, 1013. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Meetings of State Association. 



The State Florists' Association held 

 its regular meeting at La Fayette on 

 Tuesday, February 4. The florists have 

 been visiting different towns each 

 month, which is a most satisfactory ar- 

 rangement, as is shown by the well 

 attended meetings. The Uorners, at 

 La Fayette, did themselves proud and 

 the visitor's reported a fine time. 



The next meeting, which was sched- 

 uled for Stuart & Haugh's, of Ander- 

 son, will be held, instead, at W. J. & 

 M. S. Vesey's, Fort Wayne. Stuart & 

 Haugh found it necessary to withdraw 

 their invitation for March 4; hence 

 the change. 



The April meeting will be held with 

 O. L. Frank, of Portland, Ind. This 

 will be a joint meeting of the Northern 

 Indiana Florists' Association and the 

 State Florists' Association, with the 

 view of trying to consolidate the two. 

 A. F. J. Baur and G. E. Cause were 

 appointed as a committee to report at 

 the April meeting, to bring up the sub- 

 ject of consolidation. This should by 

 all means be accomplished, as the two 

 working in unison can be far more 

 effective than either working alone. 

 It is every florist's duty to work with 

 that end in view, in order that the Flo- 

 rists ' Association of Indiana may do 

 something for the good of the cause, 

 as other trade associations are doing. 



Various Notes. 



The weather has been cold for the 

 last week and in consequence roses 

 have been extremely scarce. AVhite 

 bulb stock and carnations are getting 

 more plentiful. 



Baur & Steinkamp are cutting plenty 

 of fine carnations and freesias and are 

 busy shipping carnation cuttings and 

 geranium stock. 



Sweet peas have been scarce. Albert 

 J. Pittet is the only grower who is 

 cutting them to amount to anything. 

 His new variety is fine and is doing 

 well, considering the weather. It seems 

 to hold its buds better than the common 

 varieties. 



George Wiegand has returned from a 

 month's sojourn in the sunny south. 

 He reports the climate delightful, with 

 the temperature at 90 degrees in the 

 shade and the sun always shining. 

 Homer Wiegand has departed for a 

 month at the same place and will re- 

 turn about March 5 or 6. 



C. B. Knickman. of McHutchison & 

 Co., and Martin Eeukauf, of Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., were calling on the trade 

 during the week. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. and the 

 Hill-Heller Co., as well as the rest of 

 the downtown stores, report business 

 as steady. C. K. G. 



Plevna, Mont. — A. K. Wheeler, for- 

 merly in the trade at Jamestown, 

 N. D., is growing stock on the Heart- 

 bar-three ranch. He came to this 

 country for the benefit of his health.

I have us'id the Imperial Plant Food, both 

 in Powder and Biscuit form, and have always 

 found it safe and reliable, as well as very 

 marked in its effectfi on all classes of plants 

 on which it has been used. For the commer- 

 cial florist or private grardener who needs a 

 really high-grade and quick-acting fertlliier, 

 there is nothing superior to the Imperial 

 Plant Food. Many skilled growers have been 

 using it for years, and I have yet to meet one 

 who does not commend it.
