The Market. 



It was a record-breaking Christmas 

 and, had stock been more plentiful, the 

 business would have been even greater. 

 High prices, and they were indeed Kigh, 

 did not have the effect feared by many 

 — that of lessening the number of sales. 

 In fact, in many cases just the opposite 

 was true. The gift seemed more de- 

 sirable because of the value placed up- 

 on it. 



Everyone cleaned up. Cut flowers 

 and plants sold equally well. Poinset- 

 tias were p>opular in pots at $2 and up, 

 retail. Begonias, cyclamens and ferns 

 were also in favor at $2 and up; cher- 

 ries ranged from $1 up. 



Roses were scarce and exceedingly 

 high; they retailed at $6 and up per 

 dozen. Carnations were quickly util- 

 ized at from $3 to $6 per dozen. 



All green goods and Christmas spe- 

 cialties were held in high favor and 

 nothing in this line was left. 



Prices have dropped considerably 

 since Christmas, but stock continues to 

 be scarce. The demand is not so active, 

 but all available stock is utilized. The 

 Christmas price on roses was from $30 

 to $75 per hundred, perhaps the highest 

 ever obtained. The range at the end 

 of last week was from $8 to $30. Car- 

 nations were short in supply and moved 

 rapidly. The Christmas prices were 

 from $15 to $25 per hundred, but at the 

 end of the week they were $10 to 

 $12.50. 



Sweet peas were notice^e in shop 

 windows, but in limited amounts. Vio- 

 lets, calendulas, stevia and one or two 

 other varieties of small flowers were 

 available for corsage work, for which 

 there was a fairly active demand. 



Various Notes. 



Len Elder has returned from a busi- 

 ness trip to Chicago. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. has an at- 

 tractive new delivery car. 



William Roepke left last Monday for 

 Chicago on business. 



Fred Kiel, of the Florists' Supply 

 House, has written a jingle, "Say It 

 with Flowers in Indiana." 



E. E. Temperley supplied a number 

 of the local stores with excellent Christ- 

 mas potted plants and has a splendid 

 line coming on for Valentine's day. 



O. E. Steinkamp spent the week-end 

 in Richmond, Ind. E. E. T.

WHAT would happen if your night 

 man fell asleep some night in 

 zero weather? What if you should 

 oversleep, or a cold wave hit your green- 

 house when your heat is at the min- 

 imum? It would mean ruin to your 

 plants — possibly ruin to you. 



But not if you are eauipped with the 

 STANDARD THERMOSTAT. The 

 Standard Thermostat protects you 

 from just such dangers. It will ring a
