 demand than nurserymen can supply be- 

 fore the stocks can be grown." 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The market conditions are somewhat 

 improved this week. The carnation sup- 

 ply is normal, the glut being of short 

 duration, and good stock is to be had at 

 $3 per hundred, with poorer stock bring- 

 ing as low as $10 per thousand. Eoses 

 are cleaning up well in most varieties at 

 $3 to 10 per hundred, with the shorts 

 scarce. Callas are becoming more abun- 

 dant, but the supply of Easter lilies is 

 still limited. Narcissi, yellow and 

 Paper White, are equal to the demand, 

 making $2.50 and $3, the white ones re- 

 ceiving the best call on account of the 

 large quantity of funeral work. Golden 

 Spur narcissi and Eoman hyacinths 

 have been in good favor. 



Many sweet peas of excellent quality 

 are on hand, but, notwithstanding the 

 supply, the prices continue extremely 

 good. An ample supply of violets is in 

 evidence, the California and eastern 

 stock not depreciating the value of home 

 stock in the least, the home stock being 

 preferable. Orchids and valley are still 

 scarce. Lilacs, snapdragons, freesias, 

 bouvardias and pansies are beginning to 

 make their appearance in limited sup- 

 plies. Southern greens have been equal 

 to the demand and an improvement has 

 been noted in fern leaves. 



Various Notes. 



Paul Janisch and Herbert Weiss have 

 leased the property of the Reinken 

 Floral Co. and will take charge about 

 February 1. Business will be conducted 

 under the name of Broad-Ripple Floral 

 Co. Mr. Janisch was born in Germany 

 and came to this country twelve years 

 ago, at which time he became foreman 

 for H. Scholzel, who originated the 

 Nephrolepis Scholzeli. He also worked 

 for well known concerns at Boston, Char- 

 lotte, N. C, and Clay Center, Kan. For 

 the last three years Mr. Janisch has had 

 charge of the greenhouses of the Mis- 

 soula Nursery Co., of Missoula, Mont. 

 Mr. Weiss is not a florist, but was in 

 the catering business at Indianapoli. i'm- 

 seven years and the last three years at 

 Missoula, Mont., where he made the ac- 

 quaintance of Mr. Janisch. Mr. Weiss 

 has been successful as a business man, 

 and with the partnership of Mr. Janisch 

 the Broad-Ripple Floral Co. should meet 

 with success. 



The E. G. Hill Co. exhibited at the 

 annual meeting of the Indiana State Flo-

 named Primrose, of the type of Ophelia.

 Bertermann and Herman Young, the 

 committee appointed to act with Mr. 

 Wallace, state entomologist, had the first 

 meeting January ]3. Their purpose was 

 to determine the simplest method of is- 

 suing a health certificate shipping tag 

 for greenhouse-grown stock, thus aiding 

 interstate commerce between the ship- 

 pers of such plants and giving the re- 

 cipient a guarantee. It is rumored that 

 the new governor desires to do away 

 with the state entomologist's oflice, so
