grown, but most of the space is used for 

 |)ot plants. Most of the large quantity 

 of cut flowers needed in the store are 

 obtained from Chicago, distant only 

 eighty-five miles. The second floor of 

 the store building is used for a large 

 stock of birds and goldfish. 



At .319 North Lafayette street, only 

 a few blocks removed from the busi- 

 ness center, is the establishment of W. 

 D. Rettic, one of the oldest in northern 

 Indiana and typical of the old style 

 place growing and retailing in a resi- 

 dence district. Before the days of 

 downtown stores such places consti- 

 tuted the greater part of the industry. 

 Mr. Rettic never has been able to 

 grow as much as he sells. 



The South Bend Floral Co., the larg- 

 est range of glass in town, was started 

 with a flourish several years ago by 

 Irving Gingrich, now a teacher of the 

 voice. The establishment is the prop- 

 erty of A. Kinyon, who grows a general 

 line for the retail store at 216 South 

 Michigan street. 



Adam .T. Beehler has doubled his fa- 

 cilities this year; he has built a second 

 house. He retails from the greenhouses 

 and is doing a prosperous business. 



Williams & Co., at 138 South Michigan 

 street, took over the retail store of 

 Willis Kinyon when the latter decided 

 to confine his attention to the green- 

 houses at 1702 Portage avenue, where 

 he grows a general line for the neigh- 



borhood trade. Williams & Co. have 

 no glass; they get a part of their stock 

 from local growers when they have a 

 surplus but draw most of their cut 

 flowers from the Chicago market. 



H. M. Kinzie is a more recent addi- 

 tion to the ranks of the trade. He is 

 located on the Lincoln highway east of 

 town and is selling without difficulty 

 all that he can produce. 



The latest to enter the field is H. H. 

 Swain, on the edge of the city. He 

 grew vegetables, flowers only as a hob- 

 by; but recently he has been branching 

 out and bids fair to do well in a neigh- 

 borhood wav. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



A week of extremely warm and 

 bright weather advanced chrysanthe- 

 mums so quickly that there was some 

 talk of a glut, but as yet tlK- jirices 

 have not suffered. The public is be- 

 ginning to take more interest in pom- 

 pons, singles and crested forms, which 

 are especially attractive this year and 

 among which are many promising seed- 

 lings. 



Because of the predominance of the 

 mums, roses and carnations may be had 

 in large lots at ridiculously low prices, 

 extra select roses bringing only ,$6 an(l 

 .$7 per hundred. In order to move this 



stock, which is of first-class qualitr, 

 some of the stores have resorted to the 

 $1 box sales, which also include sweet 

 peas, violets and snapdragons. 



Weddings have been less numerous, 

 but counter trade has been brisk, partly 

 on account of much sickness in the city. 

 Funeral work has been unimportant and 

 has caused the price of lilies to drop 

 to .$l'per dozen. Greens have greatly 

 improved in quality and increased in 

 quantity. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. P. Reynolds left November 

 2 for New York to purchase stock for 

 the Circle Flower Store. Mr. Reynolds 

 has returned from Chicago, where he 

 went on a similar errand. 



Raymond .Jones, of the Advance Co., 

 of Richmond, Iml., si)ent Sunday, No- 

 vember 5, with friends at the Country 

 Club's golf links. 



Albert Kempe is entirely sold out of 

 potted chrysanthemum plants and now 

 is cutting some fine sweet peas and 

 snapdragons. 



C. O. Wilcox, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, was a visitor in the city 

 this week. 



G. ]Vr. AfcDougall, landscape architect, 

 whose office is in the Fletcher Savings 

 & Trust building, will move to the 

 second floor of the Circle Flower Store 

 building, which will be given over en- 

 tirely to garden furniture and novelties.
