breaking Thanksgiving. Indications 

 were that the supply of mums also will 

 be big. 



Carnations had a drop during the 

 week, but not enough to weaken them 

 in the least. For Thanksgiving they 

 were expected to be $6 to $8 per hun- 

 dred. Eoses experienced a better de- 

 mand during the week at fair prices. 

 The demand for Beauties has been slow.

FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Conditions in the flower market dur- 

 ing the last week have eased up only 

 slightly, in spite of the fact that the 

 influenza epidemic has subsided. We 

 have had practically no sunshine for 

 the last two weeks, and roses and car- 

 nations are both in short supply. 

 Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia are most 

 notable for quality, while Shawyer, 

 Columbia, Eichmond and the Killarneys 

 are close seconds. 



Lilies may be said to be off the mar- 

 ket, likewise valley. Some handsome 

 chrysanthemums are being shown, al- 

 though the pink and white sorts are 

 scarce at present. Bonnaffon, Chadwick 

 aod Golden Wedding are the best of the 

 yellows. Ivory, Turner and other ex- 

 cellent varieties are being offered, but 

 many of the late mums will be saved 

 for Thanksgiving. Sweet peas, violets 

 and miniature roses have been in ex- 

 cellent demand for corsage work, but 

 are inadequate to requirements. Snap- 

 dragons are being used in large quanti- 

 ties and orchids are plentiful. The de- 

 mand has extended to wedding work 

 and pre-nuptial parties within the last 

 week and the reopening of the local 

 hospitals, which had been closed on ac- 

 count of the influenza, caused a spurt 

 of trade in that direction. The ground 

 has been covered with frost many times 

 of late and our first light snowfall came 

 November 21.

 fine large specimens of the late chrysan- 

 themums, including Turner, Chadwick

 week at their retail store, with a heavy 

 counter trade.
