EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



There was a marked improvement 

 last week over several preceding weeks. 

 Funeral work was the heaviest it had 

 been for some time. There have been 

 quite a number of weddings and early 

 fall socials lately, and these, with store 

 openings, have kept some of the flo- 

 rists pretty busy. This week we had 

 German day and Home Coming week, 

 with Governor Marshall and Senator 

 Kern as principal speakers. Tuesday 

 was German day, with a fine parade, a 

 feature of which was the floral decora- 

 tion of all automobiles. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons report fine 

 business last week. They had part of 

 the decorations of De Jong's new store, 

 which was opened to the public Septem- 

 ber 25. The stock here is all in grand 

 condition. The roses are fine, espe- 

 cially the Killarneys, and there will be 

 plenty of them to cut soon. The car- 

 nations are giving some blooms of good 

 substance, though the stems are short. 

 The mums could hardly look better. 

 Monrovia is showing color, it being the 

 earliest one here. There is one bench 

 of the Governor Herrick violet and the 

 plants make a fine showing. They have 

 produced lots of buds and these have 

 been picked off, with plenty more show- 

 ing. Firing was commenced last week, 

 as the nights are cool enough to make 

 a little heat necessary for roses. 



The Wm, Blackman Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting plenty of roses and a good many 

 carnations. Their Marylands are extra 

 fine. Business is excellent. They have 

 had a large number of out-of-town wed- 

 dings and a number booked in advance. 

 They also had a good share of the deco- 

 ration of De Jong's new store. They 

 cut their first mums September 25 and 

 a few Advance have been sent to their 

 store. 



Louis Fritsch has been quite busy of 

 late. He looks for a large trade this 

 season. 



J. C. Elsperman has had a good run 

 of funeral work lately. He has an im- 

 mense stock of fine plants of all kinds. 

 He received a large shipment of dried 

 flowers from M. Eice & Co., of Phila- 

 delphia, last week. 



Henry Seymour says business is im- 

 proving. 



Karl Zeidler is busy with funeral 

 work. 



Nellie Goodge was in a serious con- 

 dition for part of two days last week. 

 It was feared she could not live, but 

 she is better now and all are hoping for 

 her speedy recovery. 



Royston & Fenton report a much bet- 

 ter sale of roses since asters have been 

 gone. E. L. F. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— The city park com- 

 missioners have awarded to the Lord 

 & Burnham Co. the contract for the 

 erection of the new greenhouse and 

 dome in Delaware park, at a cost of 

 $18,063.
