rOET WAYNE, IND. 



Tbe Market. 



Business has been brisk during the 

 last week and stock has been exceed- 

 ingly plentiful and of excellent quality. 

 The weather has been ideal, with the 

 exception of Friday, October 20, when 

 we experienced our first snowfall 

 of the year and a considerable drop in 

 temperature. The demand for funeral 

 work has been unusually heavy. Wed- 

 dings have been numerous, creating a 

 lively demand for decorations and bou- 

 quets. Violets of the single variety 

 made their season's debut on the mar- 

 ket last week. Chrysanthemums 'are 

 seen in many varieties now, the latest 

 arrivals being Chrysolora, Virginia 

 Poehlmann, Halliday, October Frost and 

 Touset. These are of splendid quality. 

 Some excellent labiata and Trianse cat- 

 tleyas and vandas are being cut in the 

 local greenhouses. Eoses are in big de- 

 mand. The supply is equal to the de- 

 mand in the shorter-stemmed varieties, 

 but long stems are scarce. Russell and 

 Shawyer have the biggest demand in 

 pink. Hoosier Beauty also is a good 

 seller. Sunburst and Ophelia are the 

 best varieties in yellow. Carnations are 

 short in supply but greatly improved 

 in quality. Pompon mums are being 

 offered in large quantities. 



There are few outdoor flowers left 

 in the market. Lily of the valley is 

 moving fast and is of fine quality, with 

 good, long spikes. The demand for green 

 goods is heavy and all kinds are plenti- 

 ful, except smilax. 



Various Notes. 



Visitors to the trade last week were 

 P. J. McCarthy, representing the M. 

 Eice Co., of Philadelphia; J. B. Dubuc,

Will J. Vesey, Jr., has returned from 

 New Albany, Ind., where he attended 

 the joint meeting of the Indiana and 

 Kentucky state florists' associations as 

 president of the Indiana organization. 

 He reports a good attendance. The 

 firm is cutting some fine chrysanthe- 

 mums of Touset, Halliday and October 

 Frost varieties. They report the de- 

 mand brisk in both wholesale and retail 

 lines. 



The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting 

 some excellent Chrysolora mums and is 

 showing the first single violets of the 

 season. 



The Flick Floral Co. is cutting some 

 fine Shawyer and Cecile Brunner roses. 



The Wells Fargo Express Co. is can- 

 vassing for customers for cut flowers
