To the qnestioii, "will tin- iihintci |.My 

 the high price for sweet corn, ' ' the an- 

 si\er may be given that the iiigli price 

 has already been paid. 



The Duke of York pea is a coming 

 favorite with market gardeners. Its ex- 

 ceptional merit for market planters is 

 only beginning to be realized. 



The Bountiful bean bids fair to outdo 

 some of the other standard sorts. It is 

 hardier, more jirolific and, for the markei 

 gardeners' use. excels many of the others. 



Barteldes & Co., Lawrence, Kan., are 

 doing business iu their new warehouse 

 at Oklahoma City, Okla. The structure 

 has a capacity of 300 car loads. C. I\ 

 Eltzholtz is manager there. 



Joseph Schindler, of Jos. Schindler 

 & Co.. New Orleans, La., is in Chicago 

 on a business trip. On his way up he 

 vis^ited the trade at St. Louis and from 

 hei-e goes to Detroit. The season is open- 

 ing u]i at Xeiv Orleans, and some short- 

 ages of stocks have to be looked for. 



The Davis wax bean is about the scarc- 

 est of wax sorts. The older varieties will 

 have to take the place of it. Warduell 's, 

 wliich is also very scarce, is the only olher 

 variety that will satisfy those who' prefer 

 Davis. When these two are sold out, i1 

 will be an even stand off with aii/ other 

 wax variety the dealer may have. 



The highest printed net retail prices 

 so far noticed for a standard variety of 

 sweet corn are .$1.^ jier bushel ; ,$4 per 

 peck, 55 cents per quart, for Country 

 Gentleman. Evergreen in the same cata- 

 logue is, bushel, $10; peck, .$2.73; quart, 

 40 cents. These prices are made liy a 

 well posted house and are likelv to lie 

 close to proper values. 



ST. PAUL. 



Eecent developments do not change the 

 corn and cucumber situation and prices 

 remain firm with an upward tendency. 

 Sales of Stowell 's Evergreen and Country 

 Gentleman are reported at $10 per bushel. 



The Department of Agriculture at 

 Washington is already making inquiries 

 and asking for offers of seeds for next 

 season. They evi.lently believe tliat the 

 earlv bird will catch the worm. 



.W. H, Small, of Evansville, Ind.. was a 

 recent caller on the trade. X. Y. Z. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



'I'lio holiday business in this city was 

 all that was expected and in some cases 

 more Ihan was looked for. Early in the 

 week it became very apparent that good 

 carnations would be very short and all 

 the growers had more promises out than 

 they could fulfil. Four bright ilays 

 helped matters somewhat and most of the 

 orders were filled satisfactorily. Eoses 

 were in liettcr supply. There were the 

 usual number of poinsettias and flowering 

 plants, such as azaleas, begonias and 

 cyclamens, and all sold well. Prices 

 ruled somewhat higher than usual and 

 good stock brought whatever was askeil 

 for it. Prices since Christmas have held 

 up well, and uri to New Y'ear's they had 

 not fallen at all. At the present writing 

 prices are easing up a trifle and soon the 

 normal rates will rule. Cold 19 degrees 

 lielow zero on Sunday morning diil not 

 have much tendency to cause jirices to 

 drop, however, (^oal piles are suffering 

 and many growers who laid in their reg- 

 ular suppl.y of fuel will have to Ijuy be- 

 t'nrc spring unless it comes very earl.y 

 this year. November and December have 

 been unusually steady cold this winter. 

 There has been no scarcity of coal this 

 winter so far, and so there are less anx- 

 ious heads than there were at this time 

 last winter. 



Various Items. 



'Die State Society ut Indiana Fhirisfs 

 will hold its annual meeting .January IL', 

 and 1 understand it is to be held in the 

 state house. There is to be an exhibition 

 of whatever you may have that is good, 

 so bring it along or send it. Although 

 all the new varieties of carnations and 

 roses are expected, yet any well grown 

 stock of standard varieties are aii|ire- 

 ciated.
