tomatoes in them^ and five or six clusters 

 to the plant. Not all of the clusters 

 contain twenty-one fruits, but many 

 have sixteen to eighteen medium-sized, 

 firm, bright red tomatoes, for which we 

 are receiving 30 cents per pound in the

INDIANAFOUS. 



The Market. 



Business during holiday week was 

 exceptional. The greatest call has been 

 for corsage bouquets, resulting from 

 numerous social functions, which inci- 

 dentally increased the amount of deco- 

 rative work. Small flowers, therefore, 

 have been in great demand, including 

 small roses, sweet peas, violets, orchids 

 and valley. Small roses have been 

 scarce because of their greater popu- 

 larity. Sweet peas have' been of good 

 quality and were good property at $1 

 and $1.50 per hundred. The local grow- 

 ers of violets cleaned up well at good 

 figures, owing to the late arrival of 

 eastern shipments. Valley and orchids 

 have been scarce, even at good prices. 



In the cut flower market roses have 

 excelled in popularity this holiday 

 season. Bussell disqualified American 

 Beauties for first place. The red roses, 

 including Milady, Bichmond, Hoosier 

 Beauty and Hadley, for the last ten 

 days have been without rivals, and 

 roses in other colors have fared well. 

 These have been of good quality, rang- 

 ing in price from $4 to $25 per hun- 

 dred. Carnations in red and deep colors 

 have stood at the head of their class, 

 bringing from $7 to $8. White and 

 lighter shades are in less demand and 

 make only from $4 to $6. Some poor, 

 inferior stock, saved too long, can be 

 had at the purchaser's price. 



Funeral work has made valley a 

 valuable and scarce article. Easter 

 lilies have been especially rare, but 

 callas are arriving more freely and find 

 a ready sale. Narcissi have been clean- 

 ing up better because of their useful- 

 ness in funeral work, and good stock 

 can be had at $3 and $4 per hundred. 

 Calendulas are in the market, but they 

 have lost popularity. Snapdragons are 

 again seen and yellow daisies and 

 bouvardias are welcomed. Pot plants 

 have been selling well. Southern 

 greens have been arriving in much bet- 

 ter shape. 



Various Notes. 



H. B. Euppert, of the Carbone Art 

 Pottery Mfg. Co., of Boston, was a 

 recent visitor. 



John Bieman met with an unfortu- 

 nate accident the day after Christmas. 

 In stepping off his front porch he 

 slipped and fell, dislocating two fingers 

 and badly bruising his knee. 



During the holidays the local store 

 of the E. G. Hill Co. made more than 

 200 corsage bouquets in three days' 

 time. Many of these were expensive, 

 containing orchids and valley. 



Edward Eeinken, who took over the 

 greenhouses of his father and brother 

 July 1, discontinued business the day 

 before Christmas. The stock is for sale 

 and the greenhouses for rent. 



The usual mistake in regard to roses 

 was made again this year. At Christmas 

 the supply of Ward, Baby Doll, George 

 Elger and Sweetheart roses was more 

 than satisfactory, but at New Year's, 

 the real corsage bouquet day of the 

 year, practically none of these varieties 

 was available.

Complaints have been coming in 

 about the Christmas carnations. As in 

 previous years, the growers held their 

 stock for higher prices until it was 

 really too stale, and then got high prices. 

 This is a mistake on their part, as it 

 hurts the business and is fast killing 

 the carnation sale. 



A mass meeting of the committees 

 for the coming carnation show will be 

 held at the Commercial Club rooms
