The Market. 



Fortunately for the growers, roses 

 were in full crop for the holiday trade. 

 At present there is an acute scarcity 

 and it will be some three or four weeks 

 before the new crop will come in. They 

 have been in good demand and all avail- 

 able stock has moved too quickly for 

 all to be supplied. Carnations are in 

 more ample supply, but are not going 

 to waste. The demand has been £Ood 

 and prices continue to range between 

 $6 and $8, with Laddie bringing $12 

 per hundred. 



Sweet peas have been appearing in 

 larger quantities. As usual, peas are 

 in good favor and are good sellers even 

 at high prices. With the present 

 brighter weather, however, the supply 

 will soon be more adequate and prices 

 more nearly normal. Newcomers to 

 the market are hyacinths and jonquils. 

 As these seem forerunners of spring, 

 the public, as usual, enthusiastically 

 greets them. These blooms, however, 

 are still limited in number and sell 

 readily. Plenty of Paper White nar- 

 cissi are available. 



Various Notes. 



Greene's Flower Shop had the deco- 

 rations for the inauguration of In- 

 diana's new governor, Warren McCray. 

 The state house was made quite attrac- 

 tive with greenery and cut flowers. 

 Because of the artistic treatment, many 

 inquiries were made as to who the deco- 

 rators were and M:^ Greene was much 

 complimented upon his work. 



Under the management of Frank 

 Sohles, the Claypool Hotel Florist en- 

 joyed during 1920 the best business 

 year it has known. Harry Bookedis, 

 the owner, tendered a bonus to his em- 

 ployees who had helped to make it such 

 a successful year. 



Lee J. Eickenbach and Al D. Bubble 

 are cutting some good sweet peas. 



Morris Marer sent out clever calen- 

 dars to all the trade. E. E. T.
