for changing the boilers over to coal 

 burners. 



Randall-McLoughlin disposed of large 

 quantities of holly wreaths at their 

 Western avenue store, and almost as 

 much at the branch at Eighty-fifth and 

 Greenwood. All of the neighborhood 

 flower stores reported a better sale this 

 season. H. M. 



POT FORGET-ME-NOTS AT ONCE. 



Will you please inform me what would 

 be the proper time to pot field-grown 

 forget-me-nots in 5 and 6-inch pots for 

 the greenhouse? Also what would be 

 the right temperature to bring them in 

 before the outside plants are in bloom? 

 W. C. H.— Ore. 



Pot the forget-me-nots at once and get 

 them established in the pots at the earli- 

 est possible moment. Forget-me-nots 

 will not stand hard forcing, but must 

 be brought on gradually. Raise the 

 temperature at night 5 degrees above 

 the average night temperature in which 

 they have been growing, and after a 

 week of this raise it to about 55 de- 

 grees. As soon as the flower buds can 

 be distinctly seen — that is, as soon as 

 they can be determined from growth 

 shoots — raise the temperature to 60 de- 

 grees. Avoid a close atmosphere, at 

 all times ventilating freely night and 

 day, and spray the plants lightly every 

 clear day. After they are well estab- 

 lished in the pots allow i)lenty of root 

 moisture. H. R. R. 



INDIANAPOUS, IND. 



The Market. 



Christmas business was exceptionally 

 good, stock in general being fairly plen- 

 tiful. Potted plants were more abun- 

 dant than cut stock. Roses were in fair 

 supply and ranged in price from $12 to 

 $60 per hundred. Carnations were not 

 so numerous and the supply was entirely 

 used. Light colors brought $12, while 

 the dark shades and fancy varieties 

 sold at $15 per hundred. Paper Whites 

 and stevia were abundant. The former 

 did not sell so well and brought only 

 $6 and $8 per hundred. Stevia, how- 

 ever, was in good demand to mix with 

 other flowers for bouquets and corsage 

 work. Poinsettias in both potted plants 

 and cut blooms were in good demand. 

 These were not so plentiful as in other 

 years. Sweet peas are rather scarce, 

 a steady demand using up the stock.
