The Florists^ Review 



July 12, 1917. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Lilies and gladioli have been the 

 leading sellers in the market, the de- 

 mand for tlieso liaving been uncom- 

 monly heavy. An enormous quantity 

 of lilies has been moved, thanks to the 

 demand occasioned by a good run of 

 funeral work. Roses have been plenti- 

 ful and ])opular at $2 to $6 per hundred. 

 A few carnations are still making their 

 way to tlie market, but they are of 

 such ijiferior quality that they are 

 given little consideration. 



Snapdragons are in adequate supply 

 and used extensively. They bring $1 

 and $2 per hundred. Outdoor hydran- 

 geas, phloxes, feverfew and dahlias are 

 newcomers. Gypsophila has had an 

 exceptionally good demand. 



The few potted plants available 

 have met with a ready sale. Ferns, be- 

 gonias and gloxinias are the most 

 important of these. 



Various Notes. 



Judge Conner, of Wabash, visited the 

 trade last week. 



Hartje & Elder produced a fine lot 

 of sweet pea seeds this year. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. and the 

 Circle Flower Store had most attrac- 

 tive patriotic windows July 4. 



Eldon Weygandt has been cutting 

 gladioli of exceptional quality. 



Mrs. Herbert Weiss underwent an 

 operation last week for appendicitis. 



Allan Humason, of Chicago, visited 

 the trade this week. A. T. Hey, of the 

 A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, also was 

 here last week, as well as Mr. Young, 

 of the Young Tool Co., Casey, 111. 



Henry W. Rieman has sold his estab- 

 lishment to his two sons, Frank and 

 Harry, and retired from the business. 



H. G. Evans, of the Gasser Co., 

 Cleveland, has been visiting friends in 

 the city. 



William Webber, gardener for the 

 Central Hospital for the Insane, died 

 July 2, at the age of 56 years. He at 

 one time was in the employ of the 

 Bertermann Bros. Co. for six years, but 

 during the last twenty years he was 

 florist at the hospital. Mr. Webber is 

 survived by his wife and one son.
