FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business was unusually active during 

 the first week in September, and the 

 florists here are much encouraged with 

 this auspicious beginning of the fall 

 season. Shipping trade as well as local 

 trade was excellent, the latter being 

 strong in wedding work, although there 

 was a brisk demand for funeral flowers 

 the latter part of the week. The weather 

 during the last several days has been 

 intensely hot, which is a decided change 

 from the previous cool temperatures, ac- 

 companied by almost cold nights. There 

 is also a great need of rain, as the con- 

 dition of the outdoor flowers testifies. 

 In the greenliouses great progress is 

 being made by the young rose stock. 

 The roses cut during the last week show 

 much better color and longer stems. 

 Some good Shawyer roses are arriving 

 at this market, and Hoosier Beauty is 

 beginning to come in from' the voung 

 plant.s, although, as a rule, they are 

 shorter-stemmed than the other vari- 

 eties. 



Asters are the leaders in summer 

 flowers. Gladioli are holding up well in 

 spite of the drought, although there is 

 not a great demand for them. A few- 

 carnations from the young stock are ar- 

 riving, but the demand is light for them. 

 Rubrum and auratum lilies continue to 

 sell well. Lilies of the valley and 

 orchids are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The representative of the Roseville 

 Pottery Co., South Zanesville, O., 

 visited the trade last week, with an ex- 

 cellent display of pottery. 



Miss S. L. Nelson, secretary of W. J. 

 & M. S. Vesey, will leave this week for 

 Lakeland, Fla., where she will spend a 

 month as the guest of her sister. 



Mrs. R. W. Doswell, who has been en- 

 joying a two months' vacation during 

 July and August, has returned to the 

 store to resume her duties. George Dos- 

 well was sick last week. 



Judge and Mrs. W. J. Vesey and their 

 daughter. Miss Catherine, have returned 

 from a several weeks' sojourn at the 

 lakes in northern Michigan. They made 

 the trip by motor.
