The Market. 



The demand continues heavy, while 

 flowers are scarce. Pneumonia, result- 

 ing from influenza, has caused the death 

 of many people and the call for funeral 

 work has been large. The weather has 

 been unseasonably warm, but favorable 

 to the production of flowers. Eoses and 

 carnations are in fair supply and of 

 excellent quality. They bring Christmas 

 prices, both at wholesale and retail. 

 Other flowers, such as sweet peas, calen- 

 dulas, lily of the valley, pompons and 

 calla lilies, are short of the demand. 

 The outlook for cut roses and carna- 

 tions for Christmas is good. Ferns, poin- 

 settias, begonias, primulas and berried 

 plants are much in evidence. 



Various Notes. 



The Evansville Nurseries force is 

 busy planting out shrubs, trying to get 

 in as much as possible before cold 

 weather. So far the temperature has 

 been favorable for this work. 



C. L. Niednagel is cutting some fine 

 roses and carnations. All of his cuts 

 have been contracted for by Emil Nied- 

 nagel. Since returning from the offi- 

 cers' training camp, Emil has been 

 busy with funeral work. He says he is 

 getting Christmas prices for stock and 

 the people pay them without complaint. 

 Late stevia helps out wonderfully in 

 funeral work, and calendulas and bou- 

 vardia are in good supply. . 



The William Blackman Floral Co. has 

 a large supply of potted plants of all 

 kinds, poinsettias, cyclamens and be- 

 gonias being extra good. The cut of 

 roses now is short of requirements and 

 will be for the holidays. Carnations are 

 in better supply here. 



Mrs. J. C. JElspermann is unable to 

 get flowers enough to supply her cus- 

 tomers, even from the Chicago and St. 

 Louis markets. Theodore Elspermann 

 is expected home from France by Christ- 

 mas. 



Karl Zeidler has gone with a party 

 on a hunting trip in Mississippi. The 

 boys are attending to the business and 

 report they have had to turn away cus- 

 tomers because of the scarcity of stock. 



The Lockyear Floral Co. has a nice 

 lot of plants and reports a big demand. 

 Geraniums here are exceptionally good. 



Eoyston & Fenton report that busi- 

 ness during the first week in December 

 equaled that of the whole month of 

 December a year ago. E. L. F.
