William & Riohard, Colombo, Ceylon. — "De- 

 scriptive Price List of Seeds and Plants of Trop- 

 ical Fruit Trees, Vegetable and Food Prod- 

 ucts," a 26- page catalogue, with prices in Brit- 

 ish currency. The descriptions are believed by 

 the firm to be especially reliable, being quoted 

 from "The Tropical Handbook of Gardening and 

 Planting." by H. F. MacMillan, superintendent 

 of the Botanic Department at Ceylon. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Prospects point to a heavy St. Valen- 

 tine's day trade, although the supply of 

 flowers to meet it will not be large. 

 From indications, stock will be well 

 cleaned up. 



Funeral work has been a big item and 

 everything available has been utilized, 

 with no flowers left on the plants wait- 

 ting for Valentine's day. Small flow- 

 ers, which are always most in favor at 

 this time, are limited. Violets and val- 

 ley are scarce, but orchids are plentiful. 

 Sweet peas and freesias are usually the 

 leaders in popularity on this day. Peas 

 will be ample, but, although freesias are 

 in fair supply, they are not abundant. 

 Plenty of cut baby primroses are to be 

 had. Bulbous stock is meager in both 

 quantity and variety and includes only 

 a few hyacinths, jonquils and tulips. 

 Narcissi have decreased in supply and 

 the price remains steady at $6. 



Other offerings for spring baskets, 

 corsages, etc., are marguerites, calen- 

 dulas, pansies, mignonette, snapdragon 

 and pussy willow. 



Greens are high and scarce and, since 

 the demand is heavy, are inadequate. 

 Sprengeri, plumosus and smilax can 

 hardly be found, while ferns are in- 

 ferior at $4 per thousand.
