FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



Lilies were in over supply and de- 

 mand limited. \\'e lieard of but ono 

 .lohber who dipped a little too deep in 

 holly He had two hundred cases left 

 out of one thousand and this was 

 caused mainly by some of his regular 

 customers having misled him as to 

 their probable wants. Holly wreaths, 

 and stock of that kind in the outly- 

 ing sections — where they usually sell 

 so well — were a great disappointment. 

 The dealers failed in forecasting the 

 business and suffered great loss. 

 Lycopodium was also largely overdone 

 and much of this is now being swept 

 to an ignoble resting place. If you 

 ask me what was the most striking 

 feature on the market I would say — 

 .Tardine roses at fifty a hundred. They 

 were a revelation to many as to wbat 

 this ro.=e is capable of. While Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses were scarce in spots, 

 there was no time diiring the week 

 that they could not be got by the 

 thousand at two or three of the whole- 

 sale places that make a specialty of 

 them and have proper contracts with 

 their growers. A.nd prices held steady 

 too. Killarney was never better. 

 AVhitc roses were draggy, as were also 

 all other white flowers. Paper whites 

 were an exception. A whole lot of 

 suiilax and plumosus growers seem to 

 think there are more funerals at 

 Christmas than other times. Its red 

 that's wanted — not green. Accessories 

 of plumosus sort are in steady demand 

 thp whole season. It is a mistake to 

 think there is a rush for them at any 

 of the holidays. Christnias, nineteen 

 hundred and eight, will go down to 



history as the steadiest and best 

 gauged market of any year to date — by 

 Slower, w hole«aler and i-etailer. Each 

 department deserves some of the 

 credit. Not forgetting that sanitai-y 

 balance wheel, the trade press. The 

 schoolmaster has been abroad to some 

 purpose. 



All the retailers as 

 INDIANAPOLIS well as the grow- 

 ers report a big 

 Christmas trade, well ahead of last 

 year. Weather conditions were unusu- 

 ally favorable to the growers. Beau- 

 ties and select stock of all kinds 

 brought top-notch prices. Stock in 

 general was of excellent quality, each 

 supply about equal to demand. Or- 

 chids, sweet peas, violets and Beauties 

 had a tremendous demand. Pot plants 

 had the usual heavy run, but cut flow- 

 ers were disposed of in great quanti- 

 ties. Nothing especially new in any 

 line was noticeable. The call for pot 

 poinsettia and red carnations was a 

 little ahead of the supply. Holly and 

 evergreens were never more plentiful 

 in this market, and the result was that 

 prices were lower than usual. The 

 buying of evergreen began a week 

 earlier than usual and kept up till 

 Christmas Day. The usual 'quantity 

 of boxwood balls, red and evergreen 

 wreaths, were in evidence.
