the storage space required for coal and 

 the greater freedom from soot and dust, 

 it still seems that one will not be war- 

 ranted in using coal gas where prices 

 anything like those quoted prevail. 

 The use of natural gas at one-half the 

 price mentioned for coal gas is gener- 

 ally satisfactory. 



LOWELL, MASS. 



The Market. 



There was little sunshine last week 

 and zero weather prevailed during the 

 nights. Cut flowers of all kinds con- 

 tinued scarce. Carnations of good 

 quality in the ordinary varieties were 

 quoted at $12 per hundred. Golden Spur 

 brought $20 per hundred. Little bulbous 

 stock was to be had, except Paper 

 "Whites, which continued high in price 

 and not in oversupply. 



Various Notes. 



The automobile show, which was held 

 in this city all last week, created a 

 large demand, as such shows usually do, 

 by bringing more visitors to the city 

 and by calling for the renting or sale 

 of palms and other plants, besides cut 

 flowers. 



Harvey B. Green has a fine lot of 

 Easter lilies coming along, also a large 

 quantity of geraniums and other sea- 

 sonable stock for both retail and whole- 

 sale trade. 



J. L. Kenny is getting fine sweet peas 

 and doing a large business in funeral 

 work. E. E. R. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Market conditions are deplorable. 

 Everywhere there is a cry for more 

 stock, which cannot be found anywhere. 

 The demand increases daily, as there is 

 a scourge of sickness which causes a 

 constant demand. 



Roses are scarce and high. Carna- 

 tions average $10 and $12 per hundred 

 and fine varieties bring up to $15. Sweet 

 peas come in slowly. Calla lilies are 

 the only lilies available and these are 

 in limited supply. The demand for 

 them is heavy and they sell quickly. 

 Frecsias are putting in an appearance 

 and bring $2.50 to $3 per hundred. Nar- 

 cissi are in scant supply and bring $7 

 and $8 per hundred. A few calendulas 

 are seen and occasionally a few violets 

 and orchids are shown in display win- 

 dows.

Potted plants are in active demand. 

 The most popular in this line are cycla-
