RICHMOND is probably the most valuable yellow commercial ever oifered to the trade — Golden 



Yellow, one of the very best keepers and travelers; a perfect beauty. And 



WHITTIER is almost identical, except that it is late; won its certificate November 18th; should 



have been called *'Late Richmond." 



Our NIPHETOS is a fine early white; ready for market October 15th. 



Look up the records they made. THE E. G. HILL CO*

he sold a lot of high-priced ones to east 

 erii parties. The Brands showed about a 

 (lo/eii sorts, which held their own along 

 with the finest. 



In their methods of hybridizing the 

 Brands spare no expense. They do not 

 save more than one in a thousand, and 

 even then, knowing the tricky nature of 

 the genus, they put them all on proba- 

 tion until they are eonfirmed and ready 

 to join the goodly company of the faith- 

 ful. One, Mary Brand T think it is 

 called, is the finest and largest light red 

 I ever saw. 



Of course, originating new sorts is at- 

 tended with great expense and so the 

 Brands ask high ]irices for some of the 

 gilt-edged ones. But they have i)lenty 

 of ground and they use it, meanwhile 

 using but little manure. They also have 

 ]denty of time an<l they take it, and 

 many plants of great jtromise must go on 

 the rubbish jiile. Only the long tested 

 ones pass muster. ('. S. Harrison. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



A retrospect of last week's business 

 is most encouraging. In si)ite of the 

 advance of food prices, as i)ublished in 

 last week's Review, and i.otwithstand 

 ing the higher cost of necessities, the 

 demand for flowers increases. Counter 

 trade has been good, and although the 

 Lenten season has slightly aflFcirted dec- 

 orative ami corsage work, the activity 

 in other lines has counterbalanced this. 

 Funeral work has been so heavy that in 

 many cases the florists have found it 

 necessary to work all night to fill orders. 



The supply has increased in all lines, 

 except roses, which continue to be as 

 scarce as before, and of only mediocre 

 quality. Carnations of good quality are 

 ample enough to meet an active de- 

 mand. They bring from $2 to $4, the 

 whites ])redoniinating in po{)ularity. 

 Snapdragons of fair quality are be- 

 ginning to make a good showing, 

 esjiecially the yellow varieties. Vio- 

 lets are arii\ing in (juantities suflicient 

 enough for the f'air demand. Sweet peas 

 are good and plentiful, especially the 

 shorf-steniraed stock. Freesias and ca- 

 h'lidiilMS are satisfactory. Paper Whites

are about over for the season and re- 

 ceive little attention. 



Bulbous stoek has been abundant and 

 has been good property. Hyaeinths and 

 jonquils are in favor, but tulips have 

 not received much attention. Bright, 

 sunny weather should liring in more 

 stock in the near future. The subject 

 of greens is a matter for conjecture. 

 (Jreens are by no means an insignificant 

 item, with the demand becoming greater 

 and the supi)lv shorter. I'himosus and 

 Sprengeri are so rare, and fern leaves 

 of such inferior quality, that to i)ut up 

 good work is :i difficult [iroposition.
