INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Business during the first part of Au- 

 gust has been exceptionally good. There 

 has been a good supply of stock and the 

 call for it has been fairly active. Eoses 

 have improved in quality, and since the 

 weather has been cooler there has been 

 a better demand for them. Asters are 

 abundant and are of better quality. 

 The supply of gladioli has decreased, as 

 has the quantity of lilies, with the ex- 

 ception of rubrums, which are plentiful. 



Snapdragons, which have been abun- 

 dant and of good quality, now are in 

 smaller supply and are not so good. Cut 

 hydrangeas are popular, especially for 

 funeral work. Statice latifolia also is 

 in demand for this class of work, which 

 has been unusually heavy. Smilax is 

 more plentiful, plumosus is in fair sup- 

 ply and fancy flat ferns are especially 

 good. Various Notes. 



Charles M. Balluff, of A. Wiegand's 

 Sons Co., has returned from a month's 

 vacation spent at Fox Lake, 111. 



Albert Kempe has been cutting some 

 excellent smilax. 



Henry Eisner has returned from St. 

 Louis, Mo., where he went to take his 

 physical examination for the army, and 

 is visiting his parents for a few days. 



The Hensley Flower Shop had several 

 out-of-town weddings last week. 



Banquets to the new oflBcers of the 

 army who received their commissions 

 at Fort Benjamin Harrison brought 

 considerable work to the florists. Ber- 

 termann Bros. Co., the Claypool Florist 

 and the Circle Flower Store all had 

 decorations last week. 



Frank Ball has gone to Cincinnati, 

 where he has taken a position. 



Walter and Irwin Bertermann, A. F. 

 J. Baur and John Grande, Sr., will repre- 

 sent Indianapolis at the S. A. F. con- 

 vention next week. E. E. T. 



Wellington, Kan. — Every summer for 

 several years W. M. Shanks has added a 

 new house to his range, but this summer 

 the program was somewhat longer, the 

 improvements including a $4,000 resi- 

 dence, a boiler shed and new boilers.
