The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 17, 1913. 



r# INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



The last week has been about the 

 dullest in the florists' line that we have 

 experienced in a long time. Trade of 

 all kinds has been practically at a 

 standstill since the flood. The weather 

 has been rainy and cloudy for the last 

 week, adding to the gloom which cov- 

 ered the city. 



With the exception of carnations, 

 stock has not been overplentiful. Car- 

 nations have been a glut on the market, 

 bringing as low as $2.50 per thousand. 

 The cloudy weather has put a damper on 

 the rose supply. Sweet peas probably 

 suffered more, as most of the buds 

 damped off and they can not be secured 

 in any quantity. Home-grown violets 

 are a thing of the past. Owing to the 

 absence of funeral work there has been 

 little call for Easter and calla lilies. 

 Bulbous stock is still to be had in 

 quantities. Orchids and valley have 

 been having a better call since the 

 violets are gone. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Baur, George Wiegand, Irwin 

 Bertermann and Eaymond Kester have 

 returned from the New York show and 

 all express themselves as being well 

 repaid for their trip. George Wiegand 

 stopped off at Cleveland, and Adolph 

 Baur at Erie, on the return trip. 

 Adolph Baur stated that the west was 

 not as well represented at the show as 

 it should have been. 



Myer Heller, formerly of the Hill- 

 Heller Co., is advertising extensively 

 in the daily papers for the delivery of 

 the famous Newcastle American Beau- 

 ties to the Indianapolis retail market 

 via parcel post. 



Frank Hasselman, of the Indianapolis 

 Flower & Plant Co., states that he has 

 an unusually fine lot of bedding plants 

 coming on for the spring trade. 



Carl Sonnenschmidt is contemplating 

 the purchase of a new six-cylinder Pre- 

 mier. H. L. W. 



The Hill-Heller Co. has petitioned the 

 Marion circuit court to permit a change 

 of name to the E. G. Hill Floral Co. 

 Myer Heller, of Newcastle, Ind., is the 

 only stockholder of the old company 

 who is not identified with the new one 

 and he asked that his name not be 

 used. The E. G. Hill Co. has its green- 

 houses at Eichmond, Ind. It has an- 

 other retail store in Cincinnati and ex- 

 pects to establish stores in other cities.

No Damage by High Flood 



THIS is to notify the Trade that all Springfield 

 came through the flood without any damage 

 whatever. Our greenhouses are full of plants and 

 we are ready and anxious for business and will 

 ask our patrons to continue their liberal trade as
