The Florists^ Review 



NOTEMBBB 21, 1918. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The supply of flowers is decreasing, 

 while the demand is increasing. Chrys- 

 anthemums, while still the leader in the 

 market, are not overabundant. Other 

 flowers have not increased greatly in 

 quantity. With influenza beginning to 

 rage again and other sickness prevalent, 

 flowers are in co.nstant demand. The 

 death rate again is becoming alarming. 

 Thus a large quantity of flowers is util- 

 ized for funeral work. 



Chrysanthemums are in attractive dis- 

 play now and include spray varieties, 

 pompons, baby, single and anemone 

 sorts, besides the large types. All kinds 

 and colors are popular. 



Roses are of good quality and equal 

 in supply to the demand, but with none 

 left over. Bussell and Ophelia are most 

 in evidence, but numerous varieties are 

 ' offered. Carnations remain scarce at $3 

 and $4 per hundred. Easter lilies are 

 limited in supply. Bubrums also are 

 scarce, while callas are becoming more 

 plentiful. Sweet peas have just begun 

 to put in their appearance. Other small 

 flowers offered are violets, calendulas 

 and snapdragons. Potted plants are 

 meeting with a ready sale. They in- 

 clude ferns, Jerusalem cherries. Chate- 

 laine begonias. Primula obconica and a 

 few cyclamens. 



Greens other than fern leaves have 

 been short, but the latter have been 

 adequate. 



Various Notes. 



Indianapolis, which has enjoyed the 

 title of being one of the first in war, 

 has also shown itself to be among the 

 first in peace. Numerous peace celebra- 

 tions and festivities have been in prog- 

 ress since the signing of the armistice. 

 The florists of the city have taken an 

 active part in the rejoicing. Berter- 

 mann Bros. Co. participated in the 

 parade and showered flowers from its 

 machine upon the marchers. Other 

 members of the trade had in their win- 

 dows attractive displays befitting the 

 occasion. C. C. Thomas, of the Circle 

 Flower Store, had one of the most ef- 

 fective, it being a gorgeous array of 

 chrysanthemums entwined with red, 

 white and blue ribbons, with the flags 

 of the Allied nations in the background 

 and in the foreground the dove of peace. 



Edwin Mourner, of Shelbyville, has 

 reopened his place. 



C. C. Thomas recently returned from 

 a trip to Lafayette. O. E. Steinkamp 

 spent the week-end in Bichmond. 



The Grande boys have just returned 

 ■'ifrom a successful hunting trip in 

 Brownsburg, Ind. 



The Reinken place has been converted 

 into mushroom sheds and is run by Mrs. 

 Gray. 



Company B of the Indiana State 

 Militia recently gave a benefit ball at 

 the Canoe Club. Several of the trades- 

 men showed their generosity and pa- 

 triotism by liberal donations of flowers, 

 plants, etc., which were auctioned or 

 sold and brought a nice sum for the 

 company's fund. 



Baur & Steinkamp have started stick- 

 ing carnation cuttings. 



Anyone wishing to see a beautiful dis- 

 play of unusually fine stock should step 

 around to John Bieman's. E. E. T.
