INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Tlio market has tightened up, as is 

 usual at this time of year. Roses aie 

 bringing from $6 to $25 per hundred. 

 Carnations are scarce and are command- 

 ing $6 per hundred. The demand has 

 greatly improved, the supply cleaning 

 up daily. 



A few late chrysanthemums are ap- 

 pearing, but the great bulk has gone. 

 Narcissi arc in larger supply and sell at 

 from $4 to $8 per hundred. Other flow- 

 ers available are sweet peas at $2.50 per 

 hundred, violets at $1.50 per hundred, 

 calendulas and orchids. Calla lilies have 

 been moving at $2 per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Oscar Carlstedt is in the hospital, hav- 

 ing undergone an operation for appendi- 

 citis. 



Baur & Stcinkamp have a house of ex- 

 ceptional poinsettias. This firm re- 

 cently received an order from the Brit- 

 ish West Indies and, although it will 

 take twelve days for the delivery to be 

 made, this firm is confident that it can 

 be accomplished through care. 



Temperlcy's have a nice lot of potted 

 cherries, Chatelaine begonias and ob- 

 conica primroses for the holiday trade. 



John Hartje has a new pink seedling 

 carnation that is in fine form. He ex- 

 pects to put this on the market in 1924. 



Henry Berning, of St. Louis, visited 

 in the city last week. 



The A. Wiegand's Sons Co. has an 

 attractive window of artificial novel- 

 ties, painted grasses, etc. These latter 

 were tinted by the firm's new artists. 

 Albin Schreiber, with this firm, has some 

 elegant poinsettias and cyclamens for 

 the Christmas trade. 



John Heidenreich has good stevia and 

 poinsettias. 



Charles Randall has attractive late 

 chrysanthemums, some of which are his 

 own seedlings. 



Elmer D. Smith displayed Vivian Mar- 

 tin, an attractive, small white chrysan- 

 themum, with a tufted center, also 

 Golden Lida Thomas and December 

 Beauty, at the Indiana State Florists' 

 Association meeting, December 6.
