David Geddis, manager of the St, 

 Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co., St, 

 Louis, spent the latter part of last week 

 in this market. 



J. S. Wilson, Jr., of the Alpha Floral 

 Co., Des Moines, la., made preparations 

 for Thanksgiving shipments while here 

 last week. 



O. J. Eischen, of the Duluth Floral 

 Co., Duluth, Minn., made a hurried trip 

 to the market the early part of the week 

 and it is evident by the size of orders 

 placed for Thanksgiving stock that his 

 concern expects to break all records this 

 year. 



W, C, Johnson, Memphis, Tenn., was 

 in town November 25, purchasing sup- 

 plies and investigating the subject of 

 greenhouse building. Johnson's Green- 

 hou-^es now cover about 50,000 square 



feet. They are all in cut flowers for the 

 local trade, but they do not meet the 

 demand, at least one-fourth of the stock 

 sold heretofore having come from the 

 Chicago market. Mr. Johnson plans to 

 add 20,000 feet to his glass, a part of it 

 in the early spring and the rest as 

 rapidly as he thinks prices warrant. 



George A. Kuhl, Pekin, 111., was in 

 the market the early part of this week. 



INDIANAPOLIS, 



The Market, 



The market in this locality is greatly 

 ilepleted and the usual big sale for 

 Thanksgiving must suffer for lack of 

 stock. This shortage is attributed to 

 several causes. First of all, there were 

 not so many mums, roses or carnations 



planted by those who remained in busi- 

 ness. Next, a number of concerns closed 

 for the winter. Third, a week of dark 

 weather has retarded stock. Fourth, the 

 great demand for the last week, from 

 sickness and death, has kept the market 

 bare. 



For the last week business in general 

 has been good. However, counter trade 

 has suffered on account of the public 

 remaining at home to avoid wearing the 

 "flu" masks. This has hurt all lines of 

 business. 



Large mums are making from $2 to $6 

 per dozen. Pompon and single varieties 

 bring 50 cents per bunch. Carnations 

 are scarce and make from $4 to $6 per 

 hundred. Eoses meet with ready sale 

 and bring from $3 to $25 per hundred. 

 Callas make $1.50 per dozen, Rubrums
