INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



No complaints are being made as to 

 business, but all kinds of grumblings 

 and mumblings about the shortage of 

 stock are being heard. Much sickness 

 in the city has accelerated the demand 

 for carnations, roses, sweet peas and 

 freesias, while many funerals also have 

 drawn heavily on the supply of roses 

 and carnations, making a severe short- 

 age in these two flowers. The prices 

 have not increased greatly; roses make 

 $3 to $15 and carnations $3 to $4 per 

 hundred, but there are not nearly 

 enough of them to meet the demand. 



The supply of sweet peas is limited, 

 but the prospects are bright for a tig 

 crop. 



More bulbous stock is available. Paper 

 Whites are numerous, tulips are making 

 a better appearance and freesias ar« al- 

 most plentiful at $1.50 to $4 per hun- 

 dred. Easter lilies are still rare, but 

 callas have increased in numbers con- 

 siderably. 



Good potted stock is abundant and m 

 good demand. Cyclamens, begonias nnd 

 primroses are especially attractive and 

 in good favor. Smilax, plumosus and 

 Sprengeri are plentiful and of good 

 quality, but fern leaves, although abun- 

 dant, "arc of only fair quality. 

 Vaxious Notes.

 been necessary to cut stock green to 



fill orders. ,. t^, <- 



A visit to the Indianapolis Flower & 

 Plant Co. range is of special interest. 

 The rose's are in fine shape and m good 

 crop. An exceedingly heavy crop of 

 carnations is coming on. The pot plants 

 are especially attractive, ferns, prim- 

 roses, cyclamens, begonias and cin- 

 erarias being in fine condition. One of 

 the most important items in the houses 

 was the full line of promising looking 

 bedding stock. E. E. T.
