The Market. 



Dark, rainy weather for several days 

 has greatly retarded stock. Business 

 has been good and the demand for fu- 

 neral work unusually brisk, so stock of 

 all kinds has been kept well cleared. 

 Boses are limited in quantity and range 

 in price from $6 to $35. Carnations also 

 are on the short side, at $6 and $8. Both 

 Easter and calla lilies are hard to pro- 

 cure. Callas are bringing $2 per dozen. 



Bulbous stock is popular. Narcissi 

 and jonquils are selling at $6 per hun- 

 dred. Hyacinths range from $6 to $10. 

 Cut tulips also are available. 



Snapdragons are more conspicuous and 

 sell at $1 to $2 per dozen. Sweet peas 

 continue in great demand and vary in 

 quality and price from 75 cents to $2 

 per hundred. Violets are scarce. Other 

 offerings include mignonette, at $5 per 

 hundred, pansies, calendulas, marguer- 

 ites, yellow and blue daisies, orchids, 

 valley, baby primroses and pussy wil- 

 lows. 



In potted plants, bulbous stock is in 

 the lead. Hyacinths, jonquils and tulips 

 are being offered. Other varieties of 

 potted plants include cinerarias, prim- 

 roses, Chatelaine begonias, cyclamens 

 and a few Easter lilies. Green goods 

 are scarce and high. 



Various Notes. 



Lester F. Benson is suffering from a 

 broken arm caused by a balky Ford. 



Greene's Flower Shop is the first in 

 the city to use the moving picture form 

 of advertising. Pictures were taken re- 

 cently of the store filled with customers, 

 to show the courtesy with which they 

 were received. The windows were deco- 

 rated attractively. The delivery ma- 

 chine, arriving at a residence, was photo- 

 graphed and the chauffeur, in livery, was 

 shown delivering a fancy box of flowers. 



Mrs. E. E. Temperley and little daugh- 

 ter have been quite ill. 



Fred H. Stoelte has been mustered out 

 of the service and is now with Greene's 

 Flower Shop. Mrs. Hoffman also is with 

 this firm. 



The Circle Flower Store had an at- 

 tractive St. Patrick's day window. 

 Green sweet peas, green carnations and 

 spring flowers, in an attractive arrange- 

 tnent of Kewpies and ribbons, gave a 

 J)lea8ing effect. 



The regular meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Association will be held 

 April 7 at the commission house of the 

 Pmith & Young Co. The August or 

 September meeting probably will be in 

 Marion, in response to the recent invi- 

 tation of Robert A. McKeand. 



Henry Heningsen, of Greensburg, Ind., 

 was a visitor here this week.
