The Market. 



Business was brisk last week, with 

 funeral work and several large decora- 

 tions. The Shriners' initiation Friday, 

 November 21, increased the demand. 



Some fine Premier, Columbia and 

 Shawyer have been coming in and bring 

 prices of $3 to $6 per dozen retail. 

 Chrysanthemums are still on the market 

 and the demand is great. Some fine 

 Dolly Dimple and Mensa mums were on 

 the market last week. Sweet peas, ca- 

 lendulas and Paper Whites have been 

 snore than plentiful. 



Flower Show. 



Last week the retail florists held an 

 exhibition of flowers such as Fort Wayne 

 had never before seen. It was held at 

 the Anthony hotel, November 22 and 23. 

 The Flick Floral Co. had an unusual 

 display of Dolly Dimple, William Turner, 

 Golden Chadwick and Eaton mums. 

 This firm featured specially brides' 

 bouquets and corsages. Many choice 

 roses were displayed. 



Balph H. Tinkham's display was dis- 

 tinctive. It was a garden of flowers. In 

 the rear of the display there was lattice- 

 work covered with southern smilax and 

 pompon chrysanthemums. Baskets of 

 Premier and Russell roses and DoUy 

 Dimple and Chadwick chrysanthemums 

 were artistically arranged. One beauti- 

 ful basket of cattleyas produced a won- 

 derful effect, together with the picket 

 fence, which was also covered with 

 smilax and mums. 



The Doswell Floral Co. featured some 

 unusual basket arrangements of chrys- 

 anthemums, calendulas and roses. Some 

 especially fine Cleveland cherry plants 

 and poinsettias, which were the first of 

 the season to be shown here, were also 

 on display. 



E. G. Wenninghoff had a handsome 

 display of chrysanthemums and snap- 

 dragons. 



The Blossom Floral Co. featured table 

 decorations and corsages. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons exhibited 

 some fine Eaton, Tekonsha, Mensa and 

 single Buckingham mums, Richmond, 

 Ophelia, Columbia and Shawyer roses 

 and excellent cyclamen plants. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey displayed some 

 unusually fine Dolly Dimple mums and 

 cattleyas. 



Various Notes. 



The Shriners held their initiation in 

 this city Friday, November 21. The 

 florists all decorated their windows with 

 flowers of the Shriners' colors and dis- 

 played the Shriners' emblem.
