F. W. Elverson, of the Elverson Pot- 

 tery Co., New Brighton, Pa., was seen 

 in the market last week. 



An Ohio representative in the mar- 

 ket was E. J. Gould, of London. 



A visitor coming from a distance was 

 Mrs. S. J. Bovatzos, of Winnipeg, Can. 



Walter Bertermann, of Bertermann 

 Bros. Co., Indianapolis, was a visitor 

 this week. Mr. Bertermann spent sev- 

 eral days in the market looking at stock 

 for the holidays. 



H. Junge, of the Smith & Young Co., 

 was another visitor from Indianapolis. 



INDIANAPOUS. 



The Market. 



A Jack Spratt market is the order of 

 the day. The platter is licked clean 

 every day. A week of continuous rain- 

 fall and cold, dark days has retarded 

 stock. With the demand brisk, the sup- 

 ply has been inadequate. This week 

 started with sunshine and, if the 

 weather continues bright, the Christmas 

 market will be an improvement over 

 that of the several weeks preceding. 



Eoses are scarce at from $6 to $35 and 

 are in excellent demand. Carnations 

 were never more popular or more ex- 

 pensive, moving quickly at $12.50 per 

 hundred. The retail stores are selling 

 carnations at $3 per dozen. These prices 

 have never been known before in In- 

 dianapolis. 



Callas are available at $2.50 per dozen. 

 Mignonette is bringing a steep price, $6 

 per hundred sprays. In the smaller 

 flowers, sweet peas sell at $1 and $2 and 

 violets at $1 and $1.50. Narcissus is a 

 welcome addition, at $6 per hundred. 

 Poinsettias will not be numerous, either 

 in cut blooms or potted plants. 



All potted plants are in limited and 

 inadequate supply. These are in excep- 

 tional demand, because less expensive 

 than cut flowers. Those wishing flowers 

 and finding them so extremely high will 

 fall back on the less expensive potted 

 plants. Cyclamens, Jerusalem cherries 

 and begonias are leaders in this line. 



Various Notes. 



For the last two years there has been 

 talk of a new commission house in In- 

 dianapolis, but now it is a reality. The 

 new store will open at 205 East Ohio 

 street the first of the year.
