The Florists' Review 



FBBRnASY 8, 1917. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business has been extremely good dur- 

 ing the last week, and the indications 

 are that it will be the same this week. 

 Decorative and funeral work has been 

 heavy; all in all, the demand has been 

 in excess of the supply. Roses have been 

 bringing from $4 to $20 and are hard 

 to procure at that. A retailer remarked 

 that he had never known roses to be so 

 scarce as at the present time. Carna- 

 tions, in fair supply, are bringing from 

 $3 to $4, owing to the scarcity of other 

 flowers. 



Callas and Easter lilies are now rarely 

 conspicuous in the market. Spring flow- 

 ers are more abundant and are experi- 

 encing an excellent call. Jonquils and 

 tulips take the lead and bring from $3 

 to $5 per hundred. Cut hyacinths are 

 popular at from $5 to $12.50. Paper 

 White narcissi are cleaning up daily 

 at $3 per hundred; the yellow ones are 

 not moving so well at the same price. 



The frcesias always receive attention 

 and are especially good property at $1.50 

 to $4. Sweet peas are becoming more 

 plentiful, their prices ranging from 50 

 cents to $1.50. Home-grown violets are 

 active at 60 cents to $1 per hundred. 

 More snapdragons are being seen, along 

 with pansies and calendulas. More or- 

 chids are available, but valley remains 

 about the same. Potted bulbous stock, 

 obconica and malacoides primroses, cyc- 

 lamens, azaleas and a few cinerarias 

 are in steady demand. 



Various Notes. 



With the mercury down to 8 degrees 

 below and a raging wind to combat with, 

 the florists had a hard time last week 

 preventing freeze-outs. At the Pahud 

 Floral Co. range a house of cyclamens 

 and a great number of ferns were 

 frozen. This was due to poor coal, which 

 clinkered on the grates and made it im- 

 possible to raise steam. 



The E. G. Hill Co. reports an extreme- 

 ly good week in spring flowers, the de- 

 mand being greater than that of previ- 

 ous years. The greenhouses at Rich- 

 mond are producing some of the finest 

 Golden Spur narcissi seen in the market. 



Hartje k Elder have an exceptionally 

 fine house of sweet peas in bloom. 



While en route to the Bertermann 

 Bros. Co. place at Cumberland last 

 week, 0. E. Steinkamp's machine had 

 a rear-end collision with another ma- 

 chine and was badly damaged. 



The Circle Flower Store had an ap- 

 propriate window last week in observ- 

 ance of the birthday of Robert Burns. 

 Flowers harmonizing with plaid ribbon 

 and Scotch heather made an extraordi 

 nary display. 



During the warm spell just previous 

 to the cold snap, a return pipe at the 

 Temperley establishment burst and 

 caused a great deal of anxiety. As the 

 weather was favorable, the pipe was 

 mended before any damage to the stock 

 was done. 



Albert Stanley, who has been ill for 

 the last ten days, now is much better and 

 is able to get around. E. E. T. 



Hannibal, Mo.— Vernon S. Griffen, of 

 Griff"en's Flower Shop, says that busi- 

 ness this year is double that of a year 

 ago. The stor is at 316 Broadway and 

 the greenhouse range of 15,000 feet of 

 glass, at an outlying location. Work 

 has been started on another house, 9x100 

 feet, for vegetable plants.
