The Florists' Review 



Mat 1. 1019. 



fruits, is Berberis aggregata. This 

 species was originally collected by 

 Potanin, in the province of Kansu, but 

 was first introduced to cultivation by 

 E. H. Wilson. He collected it in west- 

 ern Szechuan in 1908 and again in 1910, 

 and plants raised from seeds sent home 

 by him are becoming widely distributed. 

 It is a deciduous shrub of bushy, rather 

 erect, but not ungraceful habit; its 

 shoots armed with slender three-pronged 

 spines one-half to three-fourths of an 

 inch long. The leaves are dullish green, 

 oval to obovate in outline, one-half to one 

 and one-fourth inches long, sometimes en- 

 tire, but usually armed with a few small 

 teeth. The flowers are yellow and 

 borne in short racemes, followed by 

 dense clusters of salmon-red globose 

 fruits densely packed on the twigs. 

 They are ripe in October and give the 

 shrub a handsome appearance at that 

 season. The plant is hardy, grows well 

 in soil of even moderate richness and 

 its fruits set fertile seeds which pro- 

 vide a ready means of obtaining an 

 abundant supply of young plants. The 

 barberry sent out by J. Veitch & Sons 

 as B. Geraldii, and also known as B. 

 Prattii, is now regarded by Dr. Schnei- 

 der as a variety of B. aggregata. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Business has been quiet the last week." 

 Carnations are not so plentiful and 

 range in price from $3 to $10. Boses 

 are in fair supply. Calla lilies are not 

 so abundant, but still are not so scarce 

 as Easter lilies. Outdoor bulbous stock 

 is gone, with the exception of a few 

 late tulips. Outdoor valley and a few 

 lilacs have made their appearance. 

 Candytuft and California poppies are 

 also newcomers. 



Sweet peas are in fair supply, but in 

 such good demand that all are utilized. 

 Snapdragons are abundant and of good 

 quality. 



Other available blooms include cen- 

 taureas, pansies, daisies, marguerites, 

 calendulas, etc. These are popular for 

 corsages and spring baskets. 



Bedding stock is to be higher this 

 spring. AH winter, in order to meet 

 expenses, flowers have been selling at 

 high prices. Now bedding stock has 

 to be raised in price to pay for space, 

 time and fuel given it. 



An idea of what the wholesale prices 

 of bedding stock will be per hundred 

 for 4-inch stock follows: Geraniums and 

 vincas, $15 to $20; salvias and cannas, 

 $12.50 to $15; Sprengeri, $15 to $20; 

 coleus, of the large-leaf variety, $8 to 

 $10, and of the smaller-leaf variety, $4. 



Petunias, 2i^-inch singles, will sell 

 for $6 per hundred, while the 4-inch 

 doubles will go at prices ranging from 

 $12.50 to $15 for the same quantity. 

 Pride of Portland and Irvington Beauty 

 will sell at $8 to $10 per hundred. Other 

 prices will be as follows: Verbenas, 

 2^-inch, $5; 3-inch, $6 to $8 per hun- 

 dred; moonvines, $12.50 to $15 per hun- 

 dred; border plants, ageratums, alter- 

 nantheras, dusty millers, etc., 214-inch, 

 $4 per hundred. 



The retail market also will be affected 

 and prices to the consumer naturally 

 will be higher than heretofore. Gera- 

 niums will bring $2.50 to $3 per dozen, 

 according to their quality and variety. 



The retail price per dozen of other 

 bedding plants will be as follows: Vin- 

 cas and Sprengeri, 4-inch, $4 to $5 per
