The Market. 



There is an unusual scarcity of cut 

 flowers for this season and prices have 

 soared even over Thanksgiving figures 

 on soma items. This is especially true 

 of carnations, which are so high at 

 wholesale that the retailers have been 

 , obliged to raise their prices to $1.50 per 

 dozen. Boses also are on the short side, 

 particularly Hoosier Beauty, Richmond 

 and Milady. Many of the local growers ' 

 stocks are either oflE crop or the cut 

 is being held for Christmas. A few 

 Easter lilies are offered and a scant sup- 

 ply of snapdragon. Stevia is used in 

 many instances in place of greens. Cat- 

 tleyas and other orchids command ex- 

 cellent prices. 



The weather during the early part of 

 December has been dark and rainy and 

 unseasonably warm. Nevertheless the 

 florists have been displaying Christmas 

 wreaths, baskets, etc., and report a good 

 advance demand. The bulk of the trade 

 has run to funeral work, with an occa- 

 sional wedding and a good demand for 

 social purposes. Flowering plants are in 

 their prime, azaleas having made their 

 appearance last week. Cincinnati be- 

 gonias, cyclamens and primroses are of 

 excellent quality and a few Christmas 

 plants are shown, such as Jerusalem 

 cherries and poinsettias. 



Various Notes. 

 November business showed a decided 

 increase over any previous year and if 

 there had not been an unprecedented 

 shortage of cut flowers, resulting in high 

 prices, receipts would have been much 

 larger. 



The second outbreak of the influenza 

 epidemic has occurred in this city and 

 the ban has again been placed on public 

 gatherings, affecting schools particu- 

 larly. Over 600 cases have developed in 

 the city within the last three or four 

 days, but as yet there have been com- 

 paratively few deaths. 



Some fine poinsettias and azaleas are 

 displayed in the wdndows of the Flick 

 Floral Co. This firm also has an excel- 

 lent display of Christmas novelties in 

 wreaths, baskets^ etc. 



A fine cut of roses in Russell, Shawyer 

 and Ophelia is promised at the green- 

 houses of Frank J. Knecht & Co. for the 

 Christmas trade. 



The six orchid houses of W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey are making a fine showing, as 

 many varieties are in season. This flrm 

 is expecting a record crop for the holi- 

 days. The rose houses also look prom- 

 ising. 



Advance orders for Christmas, espe- 

 cially from out of town, are coming in 

 satisfactory volume at the flower shop 

 of Edgar Wenninghoff. R. F. B.
