The Florists^ Review 



August 30. 1917. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Though none too active, business can 

 hardly be called sluggish. The market 

 is in fair condition with regard to 

 stock, in comparison with last week's 

 shortage. 



Lilies are coming in more freely, but 

 bring a higher price than those of a 

 month ago. Lilies no better than those 

 formerly sold at $5 and $8 now make 

 $10. Asters are in the greatest supply 

 of all items and are of a better quality 

 than previously. The prices range from 

 $1.50 to $3, and at these figures the 

 blooms are in good demand. 



New carnations are making their ap- 

 pearance, in limited numbers. Roses 

 from young stock make a good showing 

 and meet with a ready call at $1.50 

 to $5 per hundred. Snapdragons have 

 been benefited by the cooler weather 

 and now make a more conspicuous 

 showing. Tuberoses are newcomers in 

 both the double and single varieties, the 

 former being quoted at $5 and $6 and 

 the latter at $3. Dahlias are excep- 

 tionally slow in cropping this season. 

 A few are available, but in quantities 

 insufficient for any special use. Cosmos 

 is increasing in supply and is helping 

 to fill up the void. 



Various Notes. 



Hartje & Elder and the Indianapolis 

 Flower & Plant Co. are cutting good 

 late asters. 



Baur & Steinkamp are producers of 

 some good new carnations seen in the 

 market. 



William Roepke has gone to Chicago 

 in regard to stock for the Indiana state 

 fair. 



Walter Bertermann has returned from 

 New York, where he attended the S. A. 

 F. convention. 



G. Bookedis has gone to Chicago for 

 a few days and Otto Lawrence is off 

 on his vacation. 



F, G. Nelson, of Burlington, la., wasy 

 a recent visitor in the city. E. E. T. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



Business was fair last week. The 

 market was well stocked, particularly 

 with such outdoor stock as gladioli and 

 gaillardias. Lilies, which, owing to the 

 dry weather, have been scarce, are 

 more plentiful. The weather was warm 

 last week, but growers are complaining 

 over the lack of rain. 



John Hayden has moved his store two 

 doors south of the forafter place at 

 Twenty-sixth street and Hennepin ave- 

 nue. The new store is much larger and 

 has more window space. 



Miss Gertrude Schildger, of the 

 Whitted Floral Co., is spending her va- 

 cation in Chicago. Joseph J. Orp, of 

 the same company, has returned from 

 a motor trip to Pelican lake. The store 

 force has had considerable wedding 

 work of late. 



Moore, Terwilliger & Co. had an ar- 

 tistic displav of pottery last week.

Falls City, Neb. — The hail storm 

 which visited this section August 8 

 damagjBd 13,000 feet of glass at the 

 range of Simanton & Pence. The car- 

 nations, mums and roses indoors were 

 badly cut, but the firm thinks the plants 

 will grow out in time. The glass was 

 •juUy insured.
