The Florists' Review 



May 29. 1913. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Trade has been exeeptionally good 

 for the last two weeks. The florists 

 doing a bedding business have had all 

 they could handle. This has been the 

 best season in the plant business that 

 we have had in a number of years. 

 Blooming geraniums and vines are 

 already scarce. Retail cut flower trade 

 also has been excellent for the last few 

 weeks. Stock of all kinds is plentiful. 

 The outlook for Memorial day is good. 

 There will he no scarcity of stock this 

 year. Candytuft, feverfew, stocks, 

 daisies' and ^leonies are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



S. T. Tlitz ii: Hon are l)usy building 

 some new greenhouses at their Bright- 

 wood plant. 



Morton Brandlein has 

 stocks and feverfew for 

 day trade. 



E. A. Xelson and the Pahud Floral 

 Co. are working day and night filling 

 cemetery vases. 



Sidney Smith says that he has about 

 cleaned up his stuck and is ready to 

 retire from the florists ' business. 



Frank Hasselmau has had a good 

 plant business this year. He already 

 has cleaned up thg greater part of his 

 stock. 



Hart.ie & Klder are well supplied 

 with Memorial day flowers. They have 

 a fine lot of daisies, sweet peas, fever- 

 few and candytuft. 



A. Wiegand & Sons have had a busy 

 plant trade this year, having almost 

 cleaned \i|) their stock. H. L. W.

HOW TO PLANT ASPARAGUS. 



Kin<lly inform me how to i)lant as- 

 paragus roots. A. S. 



Asparagus needs ground that is deei>- 

 ly jdoweil and liberally nianure<l. Plant 

 in rows four feet apart and set the 

 roots eight inches deep. One-year-obl 

 plants are the best. Merely cover the 

 roots a little with soil and keep filling 

 in about them as they grow. If filled 

 uj) at once, manv of the jdants will 

 fail to grow. C. W.
