MUNCIE, IND. 



The annual convention of the North- 

 ern Indiana Florists' Association, with 

 the usual banquet and business session, 

 was held in the Delaware hotel and 

 was attended by about forty members. 



At the noon hour the visiting florists 

 were taken to the Delaware hotel and 

 tendered a sumptuous banquet as the 



S.ests of S. Humfeld, proprietor of the 

 uncie Floral Store. Many impromptu 

 speeches were made at the banquet by 

 prominent flower men. 



In the afternoon the business meet- 

 ings were held. Addresses were deliv- 

 ered, discussions were carried on and 

 the contracts for florists' supplies were 

 let. The association buys the supplies 

 in large quantities, thus getting reduc- 

 tions in the prices, and then the sup- 

 plies are distributed among the mem- 

 bers of the association. Several repre- 

 sentatives of flower box companies and 

 supply houses were in the city trying 

 to land the contracts. 



Several of the most prominent firms 

 in the state sent exhibitions, and the 

 Muncie firms contributed also. The E. 

 G. Hill Co., of Eichmond, had on ex- 

 hibition a new rose of its own produc- 

 tion, which caused much favorable com- 

 ment. Among the other exhibitors 

 were: Baur & Smith, of Indianapolis; 

 W. W. Coles, of Kokomo; Poehlmann 

 Bros., of Morton Grove, 111.; W. Frank 

 & Sons, of Portland, Ind.; B. H. Klus & 

 Son, of Anderson; Stuart & Haugh, of 

 Anderson; "Williams & Clark, Mrs. 

 George Miller, Carnes Co. and S, Hum- 

 feld, all of this city. One of the pret- 

 tiest exhibits was that of red carna- 

 tions sent by Mrs. Wi W. Coles, of 

 Kokomo, wife of the florist of that 

 city. 



The Northern Indiana Florists' Asso- 

 ciation was organized four years ago 

 and includes members from Elkhart, 

 South Bend, North Manchester, Port- 

 land, Warsaw, Muncie and several 

 other large cities. W. W. Dederick, 

 of Warsaw, is president, and A. J. 

 Wagoner, of Columbia City, is secre- 

 tary. 



Worcester, Mass. — L. C. Midgley, the 

 well known florist, recently purchased 

 'a residence at Lyman and Belmont 

 streets and will build two greenhouses, 

 each over 100 feet long, on the ad- 

 joining grounds. The boiler has al- 

 ready arrived. Mr. Midgley 's property 

 also includes a farm of sixty-one acres, 

 on the line of the Marlboro & Westboro 

 street railway and the Boston & 

 Worcester air line.
