Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association was held in 

 the horticultural rooms at the State 

 House July 2, with about fifteen mem- 

 bers present. Oliver Steinkamp was 

 elected secretary, to fill out the term 

 of Herman Junge, who had resigned. A 

 committee composed of Herman Junge, 

 Oliver Steinkamp and Homer Wiegand 

 was appointed to look for a new meet- 

 ing place for the society and report at 

 the next meeting. The annual picnic 

 was discussed and a committee was ap- 

 pointed to report at the August meet- 

 ing. 



J. Lytle, of A. Wiegand & Sons, is 

 spending his vacation at Webster Lake, 

 fishing. 



E. U. Weygandt drove over to Akron, 

 Ohio, in his auto last week. 



Phil Foley spent a few hours in the 

 city one day last week. Mr. Foley 

 never overlooks an opportunity to boost 

 Chicago and the convention which 

 meets there next month. He says the 

 Chicago boys are making great prepara- 

 tions and hope to make this the great- 

 est convention ever, and anyone failing 

 to attend will miss the treat of his life. 



Harry Eieman purchased a touring 

 car last week. 



A. Wiegand & Sons have one of 

 their new houses under roof, the cement 

 benches installed and the chrysanthe- 

 mums planted. H. L. W. 



Bluffton, Ind. — Myers & Co. are spend- 

 ing a considerable sum of money in the 

 improvement of their greenhouses. 

 Some of the houses are being torn down 

 and rebuilt. Concrete is being used in 

 the construction of the new benches. 

 During the coming year the seven acres 

 of land on the opposite side of the road 

 will be used exclusively for truck gar- 

 dening. Much of the product will be 

 shipped to surrounding towns. Business 

 in the flower department is also in- 

 creasing steadily.
