FOBT WAYNE, IND. 



The Bfarket. 



Business was booming last week on 

 account of the numerous weddings, 

 dances and a goodly quantity of fu- 

 neral work. Stock is improving in all 

 lines. Orchids are coming into the 

 market in many varieties, including 

 Cattleya labiata, C. Bowringiana, and 

 vandas. Eoses are of fine quality and 

 the best varieties are Hoosier Beauty, 

 Richmond, Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward, 

 Bussell and Shawyer. 



Some good antirrhinums are in the 

 market. Carnations are larger, with 

 longer stems, and prices are increasing. 

 Chrysanthemums October Frost, Golden 

 Glow and Smith's Advance are here. 

 There are a few greenhouse-grown gla- 

 dioli to be had. A heavy frost the lat- 

 ter part of the week put an end to the 

 remaining outdoor flowers. Asters, 

 zinnias, cosmos and dahlias are over for 

 this ye&r. 



Two heavy rain storms were wel- 

 comed last week as a grateful relief 

 after a drought of several weeks. 



The local florists report September 

 business this year as being highly satis- 

 factory. The outdoor stock was excep- 

 tionally scarce on account of the dry 

 weather, and the demand for green- 

 house stock for weddings, parties and 

 funerals was large. The outlook for 

 business this winter is bright. 

 Various Notes. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey are having a 

 good crop of orchids this month.. The 

 other day this firm made a shipment of 

 135 labiata and Bowringiana cattleyas 

 and vandas to St. Louis, Mo. This firm 

 is cutting some fine Hoosier Beauty, 

 Shawyer and Ophelia roses. 



Miss Ehoda Doswell, of the Doswell 

 Floral Co., is visiting in St. Louis, Mo,, 

 bent on business and pleasure. 



Miss Catherine Vesey, daughter of 

 Judge W. J. Vesey, has been chosen to 

 act as "Miss Fort Wayne" in the In- 

 dianapolis pageant celebrating the In- 

 diana centennial.

 some bouquets of the Kennedy-Riker 

 wedding last week were the work of

SOMETHING for the 

 WINTER SEASON 



The days are getting shorter. Dark- 

 ness comes early. Before your work is 

 finished you are compelled to stop be- 

 cause you can no longer see. 



The ordinary barn lantern gives out 

 about thirty candle power; not much 

 good to work by. 



The American Regent Lantern gives 

 out 400 candle power, burns gasoline 

 or kerosene and costs about l/4c per 

 hour to run. Can be used very roughly 

 without damage and will not blow out 

 in a wind. 



It is a great thing to hang in your 

 boiler or packing room, for it lights up 

 the whole place, enabling all to do some 

 extra work, and it spreads cheerfulness 

 all around. 



Capacity 1 quart (burns 15 hours), 

 price $6.50.

Safe as in a greenhouse when you 

 use double glass. The non-con- 

 ductive air space keeps out cold 

 without extra covering. Plants get
