The Florists^ Review 



February 27, 1913. 



My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON 



is a money-maker, being a grand variety indoars and out. Aside from a possible 

 sport, it has never varied from the soft, silvery pink which is best in full sunshine, 

 making it ao ideal bedder. Plants like cut can be grown in three months, which, in 

 2^2 or 3^-in. pots, will make double the money that geraniums or any other bedding 

 plant will, from the fart that you can grow 16 plants to the square foot in 2^-in. pots and 9 plants in 

 a^-in pots. U8«pen«il and figure profit at 75c io$l.5u per dozen. It requires 9 niontht for geranium* 

 to do half BO well, and a year of good growing for carnations and mau7 other plants to equal it. 

 Clean up a corner anywhere and fill with SILVKR PINK. You can't keep it fiom growing. 



Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 500 seeds; .H pa<ket8, $2 5o. delirered. 

 Can still supply plants for MEjdORIAL DAY flowering at $4.00 per ioO. $35.00 per 1000, by express. 

 Cash must accompany all orders.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



This week finds business a little bet- 

 ter than last, owing to a number of 

 funerals of more or less importance. 

 Tulips, daffodils, sweet peas and Easter 

 lilies, as well as roses and carnations, 

 are plentiful and blooming plants are 

 holding their own. 



Various Notes. 



A. W. Brandt's new location in the 

 Board of Trade building seems to be far 

 better than the old one. He says that 

 business has been double what it was 

 in the old place and his expenses are 

 only a trifle more. He is well pleased 

 with the change and, as he has an at- 

 tractive store, there is no reason why 

 he should not do a good business. 



The Smith & Young Co. has been han- 

 dling some fine Beauties and fancy peas 

 lately and the firm's own cut of Killar- 

 ney is of superior quality. 



John Bieman says business has been 

 good with him and he has no room for 

 complaint. 



Hartje & Elder are cutting some fine 

 carnations and daisies. 



L. F. Benson says his new location 

 is getting better all the time, and the 

 improvements he is making from time 

 to time support his statement. 



E. A. Nelson is cutting some fine 

 white and lavender peas and a fine lot 

 of smilax. 



The State Florists' Association will 

 meet Tuesday, March 4, at W. J. & M. 

 S. Vesey's, Fort Wayne. Indianapolis 

 florists will meet at the Union station 

 at 7:15 a. m. on that date and will 

 leave on the 7:30 train on the L. E. & 

 W. It is hoped there will be a large 

 attendance from Indianapolis, as well 

 as from all over the state. 



Baur & Steinkamp are to be con- 

 gratulated on their new white carna- 

 tion, the Shasta. They have been busy 

 this week shipping carnation cuttings 

 and geranium stock. Orders are coming 

 in fast now and it keeps them hustling 

 to keep ahead.
