INDIANAPOLIS^ IND. 



The Maskei. *'• .,..<. 



The market is short. Every wliere 

 there is a clamor for«tock. A few sti'ag- 

 gling chrysaathemumB • are, all that is 

 left in this line; large ones are prac- 

 tically nil, but a f e\^' pom{)dns linger. 



Eosbs are in good demand and clear 

 rapidly at $4 per hundred and* up. The 

 most conspicuous varieties are: Russell, 

 Ophelia, Premier, Columbia, Milady and 

 Hoosier Beauty. Although there is a fair 

 supply coming into the market, a short- 

 age of all other flowers makes them un- 

 usually popular and the supply seems 

 meager. 



Carnations are scaxce, because of the 

 recent dark weather. Good stock ranges 

 from $5 to $8, although poorer flowers 

 are available at $3 and $4 per hundred. 

 Carnations are especially good property. 



Other miscellaneous stock includes 

 sweet peas, which are not yet here in 

 large quantity, narcissi, calla lilies, 

 calendulas, a few violets and some 

 stevia. Lilies are limited in supply and 

 sell at $2 per dozen. • Narcissi are of 

 good quality and move at $5 per hun- 

 dred. ' 



A few poinsettias mark the coming 

 of the Yuletide. Potted plants are be- 

 ing offered in cyclamens, Jerusalem 

 cherries. Chatelaine begonias, narcissi, 

 obconica primroses, ferns and a few 

 poinsettias. 



Various Notes. 



Bert Hitz has been cutting a large 

 number ;of marigolds. 



H. E. Bach, of the A, L. Randall Co., 

 Chicago, was a visitor last week. He 

 has the territory formerly covered by 

 D. L. Fern and will call on the Indian- 

 apolis trade from now on. 



The December meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Association was held at 

 New Albany Tuesday, December 9. 



Abe Martin -recently said in the In- 

 dianapolis News, "O' course it costs 

 money t' 'Say It with Flowers,' but it's 

 well worth th' difference, if you don't 

 use good English. ' ' This helps to prove 

 that "it pays to advertise" and that 

 the public has learned the slogan. 



E. E. Temperley is again in his home 

 after three months ' absence for rebuild- 

 ing. E. E. T.
