The Market. 



The supply of flowers .has lessened 

 and predictions are that stock will be 

 scarce for Mothers' day Carnations 

 are going to be off crop and, because of 

 the shortage, the price will range from 

 $12 to $15 per hundred. The present 

 price is $8 to $12 per hundred. Boses 

 are scarce and range from $8 to $25 per 

 hundred. Snapdragons have been ar- 

 riving in a little better supply, but have 

 been used up daily. Both Easter and 

 calla lilies are abundant. Other offer- 

 ings include calendula, stocks, candy- 

 tuft, delphinium, gladioli, pansies and 

 a few tulips and jonquils. 



Potted plants for Mothers* day will 

 be limited in both variety and quan- 

 tity. Hydrangeas, rose bushes, calceo- 

 larias, potted pansies, begonias and 

 Easter lilies will be available. 



Counter trade has been active 

 local tradesmen are anticipating 

 preeedented Mothers' day sales. 



Various Notes. 



The members of the Indiana State 

 Florists' Association have been notified 

 by letter of the entertainment of the 

 Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa- 

 tion by them next October. The various 

 committees in charge were named and 

 the plans, as far as they have been com- 

 pleted, were outlined. 



Len Elder was in Chicago last week. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. is cutting some 

 fine snapdragons. 



Clarence Hirth has been ill with rose- 

 thorn poisoning. 



The Circle Flower Store has been 

 having an unusual demand for corsage 

 bouquets. 



Baur & Steinkamp are making beds 

 for their new greenhouse. Their eama- 

 tions will be planted in these and later 

 the greenhouse built over them. In this 

 way they save transplanting. They 

 will have a fair cut of Eosalia, Match- 

 less, Harvester, Laddie, Merry Xmas 

 and Buth Baur carnations for Mothers' 

 day. E. E. T.
