Genuine winter 

 INDIANAPOLIS weather is here 

 and a healthful 

 tone pervades the cut flower market. 

 There is no longer an over-supply of 

 anything. Prices have hardened and 

 the quality of the goods is now perfect. 

 Beauties have been in fair demand and 

 a few specials reached record figures 

 for the season to date. Of other roses 

 some remarkable stock of My Mary- 

 land, Killarney and Richmond are ar- 

 riving. Three and one-half foot stems 

 on these and a good lively demand for 

 some. Bride and Bridesmaid, however, 

 are not relegated to the discard by 

 any means and the best of them are 

 bringing top-notch prices. The demand 

 for orchids cleans up the market daily 

 at good figures. There will be very 

 few chrysanthemums left for the holi- 

 days. Carnations are all high grade 

 now; even the smallest growers have 

 high-class quality only. Of bulbous 

 stock there is ample supply. Peas, lily 

 of the valley, cypripediums, violets, 

 callas and lilies are in good supply and 

 move well. All things considered, the 

 outlook is bright and cheerful and 

 there seems to be no reason why 

 wholesaler, retailer and grower should 

 not have the best Christmas ever. 



The usual lull which 

 NEW YORK precedes the holiday 



uproar has prevailed 

 throughout the wholesale flower dis- 

 tricts during the firjt halt of the week. 

 The niaiket is well supplied with most 

 of the regular staples and it seems 

 probable that, of roses and carnations 

 especially, there will be a plentiful 

 supply in readiness for the contem- 

 plated rush of Friday and Saturday. 

 There is in evidence a good crop of 

 American Beauty, Maryland, Killarney 

 and a suflHciency of Bride and Brides- 

 maid roses and the quality is fine all 

 through. While the carnation crop is 

 not particularly heavy no shortage is 

 feared. The call, up to the time of 

 making this report, is quite limited.

Violets move rather reluctantly and 

 gardenias and lily of the valley lack 

 the snap of two weeks ago. Orchids 

 are holding their own in good shape. 

 Chrysanthemums are about closed out. 



For the week 

 PHILADELPHIA before Christmas 



conditions proved 

 better than expected, as there is usu- 

 ally a lull from about the 11th to the 

 ISth. Business was really better for 

 the week than it has been for some 

 years back, which augurs well for 

 Christmas trade. At this writing (De- 

 cember 20lh), prices have jumped in 

 many lines — two days earlier than the 

 date set for the usual holiday figures. 

 This is notably the case with carna- 

 tions and violets. There have been a 

 few dull days lately, which has doubt- 

 less had some effect in keeping stock 

 back. American Beauty roses as a 

 general thing are in splendid shape- 

 better than for years. The track seems 

 all clear for a magnificent business 

 and we hope to give a good report 

 next week. As supplementary to the 

 quotations in regular prices current, 

 the following seasonable items should 

 be added: Roses— Liberty fancy and 

 special, $35 to $50, lower grades, $10 

 to $15; Mrs. Jardine, $12 to $25; Perle 

 and Sunrise, $12. Poinsettias, $25 to
