The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Afril 21. 1910. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



< Busines^tbe first part of last week 

 was a trifle slow, but livened up a little 

 the latter part of the week. Bribes, 

 Male's and carnations' are showing th« 

 effects of the recent warm weather and 

 violets are a thing of the past. Beauties, 

 Killamey, snapdragons and valley are 

 of good quality and in fair demand. 

 Easter lilies and callas are being 

 cleaned up daily. Some few orchids are 

 to be bad, but are not at a premiioa. 

 Fancy peas are moving well. 



Various Notes. 



E. T. Barnes, the dahlia grower of 

 Spencer, was in the city last week at- 

 tending the democratic banquet. Mr. 

 Barnes is making great preparations for 

 a big year with his dahlias. He has a 

 wide reputation with this flower, as he 

 ships the roots to all parts of this coun- 

 try and has made a number of shipments 

 to France and Germany. During the 

 flowering season he ships the blooms by 

 the thousands to Indianapolis, Cincin- 

 nati, and the other neighboring cities. 

 Mr. Barnes reports a successful season 

 with his outdoor tulips and daffodils, 

 having found a ready sale for most of 

 them. 



Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Wiegand and 

 Mr. and Mrs. Homer "Wiegand took an 

 auto trip to Anderson last week, paying 

 a visit to Stuart & Haugh's greenhouses 

 while there. They found this firm in the 

 midst of one of their busy days. Stuart 

 & Haugh should be commended on the 

 quality of the stock they are growing, 

 as it is equal, as a whole, to any that 

 the writer has seen for some time. This 

 firm probably grows as large a variety 

 of plants as is to be seen at any ordi- 

 nary commercial greenhouse, and I must 

 say that it is all in excellent condition. 

 They grow a large variety of bedding 

 plants, having at this time about 2,000 

 vincas and 500 ferns for the wholesale 

 trade, these being in excess of their re- 

 tail requirements. They also had some 

 good blooming plants on hand, among 

 them being some Crimson Rambler rose 

 bushes, Easter lilies and hydrangeas. 

 They also devote several houses to roses. 

 Bride, Maid, Killamey and Richmond 

 being the varieties grown, and all are 

 in fine shape. Beside this they have 

 considerable space devoted to carnations, 

 the three varieties of Enchantress, Vic- 

 tory, Lawson, Beacon and Perfection be- 

 ing among the varieties grown. Stuart 

 & Haugh state that they are getting the 

 best results from Lawson and White En- 

 chantress, but expect to continue grow- 

 ing the other varieties. 



The Pahud Floral Co. reports business 

 good, and is looking for a big spring 

 trade. This firm has a large stock of 

 bedding plants about ready. 



Bertermann Bros, expect to tear down 

 their conservatory this summer and re- 

 place it with a handsome new structure. 

 They intend putting a basement under 

 the entire conservatory and large plate 

 glass show windows on the Delaware 

 street side. 



Hartje & Elder have been sending in 

 some good potted Dorothy Perkins rose 

 bushes. John Hartje says he has some 

 excellent prospects among his many mum 

 seedlings. 



Anthony "Wiegand celebrated his fifty- 

 first anniversary in the flower business 

 last week with a theater party at the 

 Grand Opera house, for his twenty em-

ployees, followed by a lunch and smoker 

 at the Elks' club. After the lunch, 

 music was served by "Wiegand 's quar- 

 tette, composed of Messrs. Greene, Kip- 

 ke, Lytle and George Wiegand. A num- 

 ber of solos by Mr. Bakemeyer and Fred 

 Stolte were also much appreciated. The 

 evening was pronounced a success by all 

 and the festivities did not terminate un- 

 til after midnight. H. L. W. 



FUCHSIAS. 



"While fuchsias are not valuable as bed- 

 ding plants, as in Europe, there is, how- 

 ever, a place for them on nearly all 

 private grounds. If bedded out, they 

 are of course worthless under our torrid 

 summer sun's rays, but when given mod- 

 erate shade they grow and flower quite 

 satisfactorily. They are also quite use- 

 ful in vases or piazza boxes, when these 

 get only a limited amount of sunlight. 

 It is a pity that standard plants of 

 these, used as they are in the big Eng- 

 lish public parks — that is, dotted over 

 lower growing plants — cannot be used 

 in the same way here, as they produce a 

 most charming effect. Plants in 3-inch 

 and 4-inch pots, carrying a few flowers, 

 are usually in good demand around Me- 

 morial day. Any pinching of the young 

 plants should now be discontinued. Do 

 not grow them warm. They need a 

 cool, airy house. Fuchsias want a gen- 

 erous compost and plenty of feeding. 

 Soil which will grow good mums will 

 answer well for fuchsias. 



Council Bluffs, Ia. — "What is consid- 

 ered the largest single shipment of win- 

 dow glass ever received by a Council 

 Bluffs consignee arrived April 13, billed 

 to J. F. "Wilcox. One hundred and 

 twenty-five thousand square feet of glass 

 made up the shipment. This was pur- 

 chased from the Pittsburgh Plate Glass 

 Co. through the Midland Glass and Paint 

 Co., of Omaha, and will be used by him 

 in the construction of seven new green- 

 houses. The grading necessary is already 

 completed and the building material will 

 be on hand by the latter part of this 

 month.
