The Florists^ Review 



March 13, 1919. 



on lower Market street, this week to 

 study a model war garden laid out 

 therein by T. C. Holmes, manager of 

 the company's retail department. In it 

 he shows what can be produced on an 

 ordinary city lot in the way of vege- 

 tables and flowers, and many orders 

 have been placed by parties interested 

 in trying out his plan, M. M.

INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Stock is a little more plentiful, but 

 prices remain the same. Business last 

 week, although not quite so brisk as in 

 preceding weeks, was by no means bad. 

 Stock moved a little slowly for a few 

 days, but the remainder of the week 

 conditions improved. All available stock 

 was utilized and practically none went 

 begging. Boses remain the same at from 

 $6 to $35 and are hard to procure at 

 that. Carnations are more plentiful and 

 range from $6 to $8. Lilies are more 

 plentiful. Sweet peas are good property 

 and average about $1 per hundred. Some 

 fine fancy peas are on the market at $2 

 per hundred. Other flowers include bulb- 

 ous stock, jonquils, tulips, hyacinths, 

 daisies, pansies, marguerites, calendulas, 

 etc.
