The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNB 13, 1012. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Trade has been brisk all the last 

 week. There have been a number of 

 large wedding decorations, also several 

 commencements, which called for quan- 

 tities of flowers. Roses and carnations 

 are both showing the effects of the hot 

 weather. Peonies, coreopsis, outdoor 

 daisies and sweet peas are obtainable in 

 almost any quantity. The bedding busi- 

 ness has dropped off with a dull thud 

 since Decoration day. 



Various Notes. 



Herman Junge has handed in his res- 

 ignation as secretary of the State Flo- 

 rists' Association. Too much business 

 at the commission house is Mr. Junge 's 

 excuse. 



Geo. Wiegand and Jay Lytle made the 

 trip via automobile to Chicago in nine 

 hours Thursday, June 6. They stayed 

 in Chicago Friday and Saturday, return- 

 ing home Sunday none the worse for 

 the trip. 



A. F. Longren, with E. H. Hunt, spent 

 several days with the trade last week. 



Hartje & Elder have their mums 

 planted. They are putting in posts for 

 their new house this week. 



Henry Backmeyer, for the last three 

 years with A. Wiegand & Sons, left this 

 establishment this week and is going 

 on the road with the Hoosier Quartette. 



Baur & Steinkamp have a fine lot of 

 indoor asters coming on. Adolph Baur, 

 of this firm, says that they are getting 

 in a fine lot of orders for young poin- 

 settias. 



E. A. Nelson reports a fine bedding 

 season. He had one .iob which called 

 for nearly 3,000 geraniums and about 

 150 feet of veranda boxes.
