The Florists' Review 



Dbcbubhb 28, 1Q16. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Stock for Christmas was not over- 

 plentiful. Carnations were of good 

 quality, but rather scarce, and brought 

 from $6 to $8 per hundred; and the 

 indications are that they will remain 

 at these prices through the holiday 

 week. Cut poinsettias were not abun- 

 dant, but experienced a ready sale at 

 high prices. Roses were more plentiful, 

 the red ones, of course, leading in popu- 

 larity. Shorts sold as low as $5, but 

 large, fine stock brought up to $35. 

 Bulbous stock was extremely scarce, 

 limited to Roman hyacinths and nar- 

 cissi. 



The smaller flowers met with a big 

 demand. Sweet peas were especially 

 popular and brought $1 and $1.50 per 

 hundred, with the supply limited. Vio- 

 lets also were in high favor. 



An unusually fine and large supply 

 of pot plants enjoyed a ready sale, poin- 

 settias and cyclamens being the leaders 

 in popularity. Fancy, mixed pots, filled 

 baskets and hampers were sought as 

 gifts. 



From first appearances, it seemed that 

 the evergreen supply would be short, 

 but later shipments glutted the market, 

 leaving a great surplus on the retailers' 

 hands. The prices on holly and greens, 

 however, held up well. 



Various Notes. 



The florists were well satisfied with 

 their Christmas business. The quantity 

 of sales was satisfactory, the only dis- 

 turbance being the tie-up of shipments. 

 On account of the heavy Christmas ex- 

 press, out-of-town shipments were from 

 eight to twenty-four hours late, and 

 caused much anxiety to the local trades- 

 men. Smith & Young lost a large ship- 

 ment of ferns, its non-appearance plac- 

 ing them in a predicament. 



Walter Berkhoff, recently with E. A. 

 Nelson, now is with the A. Wiegand's 

 Sons Co. 



The store belonging to R. D. Oilar, 

 which has been known as the Benson- 

 Oilar Flower Store, now is called Oilar 's 

 Flower Shop. Miss Melford, recently 

 with the Circle Flower Store, is again 

 with Oilar 's. 



The Tomlinson Hall Flower Market 

 had an unusually good Christmas busi- 

 ness December 23. A great number of 

 plants as well as cut flowers were moved. 



The next meeting of the Indiana State 

 Florists' Association will be held at the 

 Claypool hotel January 9. The meeting 

 in the morning, 10 o'clock, is for those 

 interested in the coming carnation show. 

 The regular meeting will begin at 2 

 o'clock. E. E. T.
