INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Great quantities of stock are being 

 consumed daily. The call for all kinds 

 of potted plants and cut flowers is ex- 

 ceptional at this time, and the good sup- 

 ply is being well cleaned up. Eoses are 

 about the only item in the market in 

 limited supply. The varieties most in 

 evidence are Ophelia, Sunburst, Killar- 

 ney and White Bliliarney. Also in the 

 market, but less conspicuous, are 

 Hoosier Beauty, Milady, Hadley and 

 Richmond, and these seem to be losing 

 their popularity. The prices range 

 from $2 to $12 per hundred. Beauties 

 and Russells are scarce and bring from 

 75 cents to $4 per dozen. 



Carnations in all colors are plentiful, 

 the best bringing from $2.50 to $3.
