The Market. 



The market is loaded with snapdrag- 

 ons. Carnations are in ample supply, 

 ranging in price from $3 to $10 per hun- 

 dred. Boses have changed but little. 

 A few gladioli and Shasta daisies have 

 appeared. Outdoor iris is becoming 

 plentiful. 



The general line is about the same. 

 Outdoor lilies of the valley are plentiful. 

 Darwin tulips have been in evidence, but 

 are now on the wane. 



Callas and Easter lilies have been in 

 fair supply. Spanish irises, centaureas, 

 candytuft, feverfew, sweet peas, stocks, 

 etc., complete the list of offerings. 



The bedding season is a little late this 

 year, due to cool weather up through the 

 middle of May. Frosts continued until 

 May 12. Demand is now beginning, 

 however, and a big season is anticipated. 



Mothers ' day was a big success. Flow- 

 ers were in big demand and everyone 

 sold out completely. Many more flowers 

 could have been utilized, but no more 

 were available. 



As usual, carnations were the most 

 popular. The supply of these was soon 

 exhausted and then the people clamored 

 for anything they could get. The floral 

 "gifts to mothers" were extremely 

 popular and since it is the custom to 

 wear a flower on this day, colored for the 

 living and white for the dead, single 

 flowers and small corsages were also in 

 heavy demand. 



Indiana Florists. 



. The May meeting of the Indiana State 

 Florists' Association was held May 6, 

 at the establishment of the Eoepke 

 Floral Co., this city. The meeting was 

 unusually well attended, both by local 

 and out-of-town florists. 



Owing to the absence of some of the 

 chairmen of committees, most of the 

 business was postponed. Routine busi- 

 ness was followed by the election of 

 Professor Greene, of Purdue University, 

 to membership. Fred Kiel, a former 

 member, who is again in the business, 

 reaffiliated with the organization. Frank 

 Anderson, of Indianapolis, was proposed 

 for membership. 



Dillon A. Myers, who was recently 

 elected president of the Muncie Hail & 

 Tornado Insurance Co., was to have been 

 present to present the merits of this com- 

 pany, in order to obtain the indorsement 

 of the association. Mr. Myers, however, 

 found it impossible to be present and 

 communicated by letter. After consid- 

 erable discussion, it was decided to let
