creased its demands 100 per cent over 

 any of the previous four seasons, though 

 we shall probably not receive over 

 fifteen per cent of our requirements. 



As to the Future. 



Since men are now available and 

 since a good crop of seeds and a fair 

 supply of labor were available this fall, 

 with an average growing season the 

 crop for 1920 should be almost double 

 that of 1919. Though I hate to make 

 predictions, I think we should be safe 

 in figuring that prices in 1920 will be 

 less than half what they are this season. 

 As production increases and conditions 

 become gradually normal, prices will 

 continue to come down, though I ques- 

 tion if they will ever again be as low 

 as in pre-war years. Ten years ago I 

 sold Myrobalan plum 5-9 mm. at $1.10 

 per thousand; today I cannot buy them 

 for less than $60 net, cash in advance. I 

 do not think we shall ever see those ex- 

 tremes again, for the same reason that 

 we shall never see such a war again. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Stock is more plentiful and wholesale 

 prices have dropped somewhat, but the 

 retail prices are still high. The most 

 plentiful is bulbous stock and it is much 

 in evidence. Freesias are abundant 

 and can be purchased in large quanti- 

 ties at a reasonable figure. Other bulb- 

 ous stock includes daflFodils, jonquils, 

 tulips and hyacinths. These range in 

 price from $8 to $10 per hundred. 



Roses are still scarce. Carnations are 

 a little more plentiful, but are not abun- 

 dant. Prices, however, have dropped to 

 $8 to $12.50 per hundred. Sweet peas 

 are still scarce. Calla lilies are avail- 

 able in small quantities, but practically 

 no Easter lilies have arrived yet. 



Plants are still good property. At- 

 tractive pots of bulbous stock are on 

 display at a number of the stores. Other 

 plants are cinerarias, begonias, cycla- 

 men and primroses. 



The Lenten season has caused a lull 

 in social activities, but flowers for the 

 sick have kept the demand at normal. 



Various Notes. 



David Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 was a visitor in the city last week. He 

 intends altering his range next spring 

 and is going to devote the entire place 

 to cut flowers. 



O. E. Steinkamp has been visiting his 

 brother in St. Louis, Mo.
