The state Florists' Association met March 2, and closed up the business for the carnation show which was given at the German house February 17-18. Each florist who contributed, received his pro- portion of the remaining treasury. A premium list was made some time ago by the association for the floral exhibi- tion which is given annuaJly at the state fair, by the State Board of Agriculture. The board has accepted this list and the by-laws of the association. Heretofore the association has taken no interest in the matter, but this year a florist will be engaged to take, charge of this de- partment. It is up to the florists of Indiana to encourage this annual exhibi- tion and show the State Board of Agri- culture that they appreciate the interest taken in the betterment of the florists in general. A committee of three, com- posed of Adolph Bauer, Homer L. Wieg- and and Fred Huckriede was appointed to investigate and try to promote a chrys- anthemum show here this fall. NOTES. Charles Meyer during his "Violet day" disposed of 30,000 blooms. Single violets are gaining in popularity. Smith & Young Co. has broken ground for two new houses aggregating 15,000 feet of glass. Geo. B. Wiegand has returned from his trip in the east, which he enjoyed to the utmost. Irvin Betermann,
