The past week has 

 INDIANAPOLIS been a rather quiet 

 one, there being a 

 decided falling o£E in trade since 

 Thanksgiving. A few weddings and a 

 number of debutante parties created 

 quite a demand for fancy stock which 

 at times was difficult to secure. Chrys- 

 anthemums have about dropped out, 

 but those who still have some to cut 

 are realizing good prices for them. An 

 increased demand for roses and carna- 

 tions is noticed, the quality and quan- 

 tity of which is sufficient for all in- 

 quiries. Sweet peas are more plentiful, 

 also narcissi and Roman hyacinths. 

 Slevia is a welcome addition and quan- 

 tities are being used. Violets, orchids 

 and lily of the valley have been in 

 heavy demand mostly for corsages. 

 The prospects for a good crop of every- 

 thing for Christmas is very encourag- 

 ing. Quite a liberal quantity of poin- 

 settias are to be had around this vicin- 

 ity. There is already considerable ac- 

 tivity in Christmas greens, but we arfi 

 only at the beginning of the Christmas 

 season and must not anticipate. Ga- 

 lax, magnolia and leucothoe sprays are 

 being handled in large quantities at 

 the present time. Green goods of all 

 descriptions are in good demand with 

 supply ample. 



Business is in the 

 NEW YORK customary languid 



condition which we 

 have learned to expect during the two 

 weeks preceding Christmas. The stock 

 offered is of exceptional quality as a 

 rule, but that doesn't appear to help 

 it to move. The receipts on some lines 

 have been light — due in part to a spell 

 of colder weather— and consequently 

 the accumulation in wholesale hands

has not been so unwieldy as it would 

 otherwise have been. Price quotations 

 are low enough for the season and to 

 place them at a still lower figure would 

 be of no advantage, but gross returns 

 to the growers will be found to bear 

 Utile relationship to quoted values as 

 the dealers in those quarters where 

 best grades are usually called for are 

 buving but very little— "from hand-to- 

 mouth" as it were. It is in evidence 

 on all sides that My Maryland has al- 

 most completely eclipsed the old fav- 

 orite Bridesmaid rose at the present 

 time, and White Killarney is also 

 blocking the way for Bride to a con- 

 siderable extent, although the latter 

 is seen in unexcelled quality. Violets 

 and lily of the valley have never been 

 finer and the same is true of lilies and 

 callas. Gardenias and cattleyas are in 

 very light supply. The flower growers 

 are certainly to be credited with plac- 

 ing before the buyers a very varied 

 and high class selection, and should 

 the flower trade tall short at Christ- 

 mas this year the blame must be placed 

 elsewhere than on the character of the 

 goods. We hope nobody will attempt 

 to swell his income by "salting down" 

 his flowers in advance of the holiday. 



Conditions im- 

 PHILADELPHIA proved a little 



the past week, 

 the demand being good all along the 

 line with some stiffening in the prices 

 ^especially so in the carnation mar- 



ket. Roses continue of excellent qual- 

 ity and remain fairly steady at quoted 

 rates. There are still a few chrysan- 

 themums coming in, the most con- 

 spicuous varieties being Jennie Nonln 

 and Bonnaffon. Poinsettias have made 

 their advent, and are being favorably 

 received. Christmas prices will go 

 into effect on the 22nd. These run 

 about the same as last year on most 

 items. Advance bookings seem to in- 

 dicate every confidence in a fine holi- 

 day demand. There has been a scram- 

 ble for greens during the past few 

 days in consequence of freight delays. 

 This has affected particularly the sup- 

 plies of boxwood sprays and loose lyco- 

 podium.
