The Florists^ Review

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



The demand continues active for this 

 time of the year. The market is well 

 supplied with stock, but the flowers 

 clear well. Funeral work has been ex- 

 tensive this week and has been the most 

 important factor in utilizing the large 

 supply of lilies. The old crop of carna- 

 tions "is completely gone. Summer roses 

 are becoming poorer and receive but 

 little attention. They sell at from $1.50 

 to $5 per hundred. 



Gladioli continue plentiful, but the 

 supply is consumed daily. They are of 

 good quality and move at $3 and $4 per 

 hundred. Asters are fairly plentiful 

 but still of poor quality, the price rang- 

 ing from $1.50 to $3. 



Various Notes. 



"VVm. Smith, from Iowa, formerly with 

 the A. Wiegand's Sons Co., is visit- 

 ing in the city. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. has in- 

 stalled a new jmeumatic water pres- 

 sure system at its Cumberland range. 



Asters are poor in this section; those 

 of Hartje & Elder and John Grande, 

 Sr., were among the best.

 ance has been holding a number of
