The Weekly Rorists' Review.

INDIANAFOLIS. 



The Market. 



Trade was unusually quiet last week, 

 ^here has been some little decorating, 

 but, outside of that, business has been 

 dull. Funeral work has been slow. 

 Chrysanthemums are in full blast now, 

 and there are enough to go around. The 

 single and pompon varieties are in 

 great demand. Beauties, roses and car- 

 nations are improving in quality. Vio- 

 lets and orchids are not in heavy 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



About thirty-five of the city florists 

 accepted the invitation of Hartje & 

 Elder to visit their place on Sunday, 

 October 29, and inspect their chrysan- 

 themums. It was certainly well worth 

 the while, as the stock was unusually 

 fine and the many new varieties of 

 pompons were particularly interesting. 

 One bench of a new pink seedling 

 pompon created a great deal of interest 

 and it was pronounced one of the best 

 on the market. The firm intends to put 

 this on the market next year. There 

 were many other seedlings of promise, 

 too numerous to mention separately. 

 The party was served with lunch and 

 soft drinks. 



W. H. Elverson, of the Elverson Pot- 

 tery Co., New Brighton, Pa., spent sev- 

 eral days with the trade last week. 



Mrs. Thos. Hart, wife of the veteran 

 florist, died last week. She was 80 

 years old. Mr. Hart has the sympathy 

 of the craft. 



H. W. Bieman has been suffering with 

 a slight attack of the grip. 



Albert Pittet has shown the first 

 sweet peas seen in this market. 



A. Wiegand & Sons have been busy 

 with wedding decorations lately. 



The indications are that Indianapolis 

 will be well represented at the Cin- 

 cinnati show. H. L. W. 



Beaver, Pa. — Thos. M. Fitzgerald has 

 a fine lot of Pink Ivory mums which he 

 has developed from a sport from a 

 white Ivory. He has his place reglazed 

 and in good sha]^e for winter, after the 

 hail storm of this summer, having lost 

 about 4,000 feet of glass. 



Danvers, Mass. — ^Percy S. Hooper, at 

 116 Locust street, makes a specialty 

 of the Herbert raspberry in summer, 

 growing fancy berries that are sold for 

 25 cents to 30 cents a quart, wholesale. 

 Strawberries, asparagus, celery, sweet 

 peas and asters are also grown. This 

 fall a greenhouse was erected and 

 planted with lettuce, which is doing 

 well. 



Wasrner Plant Boxes are 



the best and cheapest in the 

 market for Palms, Boxwood, 

 Bar Trees, etc. They are attract- 

 ive in design. Btrong and dura- 

 ble, suitable for either Indoor or
