INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Xmas trade in this city was one 

 of the heaviest on record and every one 

 seems to have had his share. Prices 

 ruled about the same as other years, the 

 greatest demand being for tlie higher 

 grades. There seemed to be more money 

 to spend on tiowers, and anytliing of real 

 merit was bouglit eagerly. The supply 

 of blooming plants was hardly up to 

 the demand, and nothing nice was left 

 over. Two of our leading retailers were 

 almost sold out of plants by the 23rd. 

 Lorraines, cyclamen and poinsettias were 

 the leaders. The weather was against 

 the growers here, as elsewhere. There 

 were not three bright days in at least 

 two weeks previous to Xmas, and with 

 the usual demand trebled, it made the 

 growers hustle to keep their promises. 

 There was very little pickling, and con- 

 sequently there is less kicking about 

 poor stufl' than usual. Looks as though 

 our growers are learning a few things. 



On January 13 the State Society holds 

 its annual meeting and in connection 

 there will be an exhibition of flowers 

 and plants. There are to be awarded 

 a silver and bronze medal for a novelty 

 of American production not yet in com- 

 merce. Only Indiana members to com- 

 pete. Officers will be elected at this 

 meeting and a full attendance is re- 

 quested as much important business is 

 to come before the society. A. B. 



Messrs. M. Rice & Co., the florists' 

 supply dealers. Philadelphia, send us a 

 very handsome calendar for 1903. It 

 has four sheets and on each appears an 

 artistic colored portrait of a charming 

 maiden. The calendar for three months 

 of the year appears below the portrait 

 on each sheet, while the business card 

 of the firm is printed in the upper cor- 

 ner on a ribbon, each sheet having a 

 different colored ribbon. It is certainly 

 a very attractive calendar.
