EVANSVIIiliE, IND, 



The Market. 



Business is on the increase again 

 and everyone is looking forward to a 

 busy season. Thousands of mums of 

 excellent quality are being cut and find 

 ready sale. Koses are good and carna- 

 tions are improving, but still are scarce. 

 Two or three killing frosts this month 

 have done away with all outside stock. 



Various Notes. 



Theodore Kuebler, of Santa Bosa 

 fruit farm, is cutting some nice mums. 

 He has finished a small addition to his 

 plant and expects to propagate 50,000 

 geraniums this season, of which he has 

 about 20,000 in the propagating bench. 

 He sells these by advertising in The 

 Review. 



Karl Zeidler is taking a little vaca- 

 tion after his summer's labor. He has 

 entirely rebuilt his plant. The houses 

 are long, high, have plenty of light 

 and are a big improvement over the old 

 ones. The carnations are in solid beds 

 at the east end of the two long houses 

 and are looking fine; in fact, the best 

 he ever had. The plants are large and 

 thrifty, with an immense crop coming 

 on. The different benches are not all 

 built j-et, but this is being done as fast 

 as possible. 



Austin Wallace has put in a big fire- 

 box boiler and will not have any 

 trouble this year in keeping his houses 

 warm. 



The carnations and lettuce are in 

 good condition. Sweet peas and smi- 

 lax are also grown. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. is en- 

 joying good business. The demand for 

 mums is so large that they are being 

 cut and sold before being fully de- 

 veloped. ♦ 



C. L. Niednagel is cutting some of 

 the best American Beauties the writer 

 has ever seen. His Killarney and 

 Maryland are equally good. He has 

 been consigning part of his cut to 

 George Angermueller, of St. Louis. 



.T. C. Elspermann is cutting lots of 

 mums, and finds a ready sale for them. 

 His carnations are good. Mrs. Elsper- 

 mann gave a prize euchre party one 

 day last week for their church and 

 $112 was realized. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are kept 

 busy right along. Roses are in crop 

 and are good. The carnations are full

Advertising Experts 

 626 Federal Street. CHICAGO 



Mention The Reriew wh^n yon write 



of buds, with prospects for a big crop 

 for Christmas. The mums are selling 

 well and they have thousands of them. 

 A bench of poinsettias stand about six 

 feet high, with good foliage. A house 

 of violets is in good shape and giving 

 good flowers. 



Miss Nellie Goodge is improving 

 steadily, but is inclined to overwork at 

 times, when she sees things that ought 

 to be done. 



Royston & Fenton are off crop in 

 roses, but will probably have a good cut 

 for Christmas, weather permitting. 

 They have planted 650 smilax in an 

 empty bench. These plants were bought 

 of an advertiser in The Review and 

 were fine. E, L. F.
