The Florists^ Review 



Janiiahv 15, 1920. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Tlie Market. 



Everyone was clamoring for stock last 

 week. Little was available and the con- 

 tinuance of dark weather promises little 

 change in conditions. 



Roses were still scarce and ranged in 

 price from $8 to $:55 per hundred. Car- 

 nations came in slowly and were high in 

 price The more common v.-trieties sold 

 for from $8 to $10, while Laddie brought 



$15. 



Sweet peas were short in supply. The 

 dark, stormy weather retarded their 

 growth and caused them to drop their 

 buds. Calla lilies were available m 

 limited numbers and brought $2.50 and 

 $3 per dozen. 



Other miscellaneous flowers that were 

 displayed were calendulas, stevia, nar- 

 cissi, 'violets, daffodils and jonquils. 

 These were, however, by no means 

 plentiful, but helped to add variety and 

 color to store windows. 



A few potted plants were in the mar- 

 ket and were in good demand, as is 

 usually the case when cut flowers are 

 scarce'. Begonias, cyclamens, primroses, 

 cherries and ferns composed this assort- 

 ment. 



Various Notes. 



George Wiegand left January 12 for 

 California. 



The local tradesmen extend their sym- 

 pathy to "William Hamant and his wife 

 in tlie loss of their baby, Rose Hamant. 



The new greenhouse of Bertermann 

 Bros. Co., at Cumberland, Ind., is full 

 of splendid Premier roses. 



John Grande is cutting some fine 

 sweet peas and calendulas. 



A large party from Indianapolis is 

 expected to attend the convention of 

 the American Carnation Society at Chi- 

 cago. It has been advised to make ho- 

 tel reservations in advance, to make sure 

 of accommddations. Trains leave Indi- 

 anapolis for Chicago 12:20 a. m. by the 

 Big Four and 1 a. m. by the Monon. 



The Smith & Young Co. has purchased 

 a large new icebox. 



This city has been visited by a num- 

 ber of snow storms lately and the dark 

 weather has retarded the growth of all 

 stock. ^^- !"'• T. 



Altoona, Pa.— George W. Liebig has 

 erected a greenhouse 18x50 feet.
