Attractions at Indianapolis. 



Indiana]>olis, apart from the tlowcr 

 fshow, has many attractions to offer 

 the visitor. Tlie city centers ai)()ut 

 the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument, 

 which is one of the most notable exam- 

 ples of colossal sculpture in existence. 

 This Civil war memorial shaft is second 

 in height only to the Washinfjton mon- 

 ument. The state capitol, with the 

 jjovernor 's ofTice, the lieadquarters of 

 the Indiana state board of agriculture, 

 and the state board of conservation, is 

 located in the downtown area. 



On the outskirts of the city lies the 

 Indianapolis motor speedway, where 

 the annual international swei'j)stakes 

 races arc held. Fort Hen.jamiii Harri- 

 son, one of the largest United States 

 army ]>osts, .•idjoins the city. A newly 

 finished city library building is one of 

 the finest of its kind. Six theaters and 

 fifty-five cinema house's offer varied 

 amusements, and amjile accommoilat ions 

 are affordecl the visitor bv the fiftv-one 

 hotels.

NEW ENQIiAND ALLIANCE. 



There will be a general meeting of the 

 New England Florists' Alliance Satur- 

 day, April 1, at 7 p. m., at the City Club, 

 Boston, Mass. This meeting is called 

 for the purpose of having an open 

 forum, to which all members of the 

 trade throughout New England are in- 

 vited, to discuss the work of the alli- 

 ance, its policies and other matters of 

 importance to the industry. 



It is hoped thiit all will avail them- 

 selves of this opportunity to become 

 thoroughly acquainted with the real 

 ])nrpose of this organization. The co- 

 o[)eration as shown by the "Spirit of 

 '76"t>vas responsible for the founding 

 of this'great republic, and cooperation 

 :igain can and will be successful in pro- 

 moting tlus interests of this great in- 

 dustry of ours, with its millions of 

 dollars invested in greenhouses and 

 ecpiijunent.

 '_'"), ;it Oshkosh. This city will be an 

 ideal jilace for the summer meeting, as 

 it is centrally, located, and no doubt

The Market. 



The cut flower market continues to 

 !)(■ well supplied, and, in some respects, 

 Imyers seem to have their own way. 

 Clearances bother most of thc whole- 

 salers, for on these depend their aver- 

 ;ige returns. It can hardly be said that 

 tlic market has improved; that is, from 

 the growers' standpoint, yet easy prices 

 liaxc increased the demand consider 

 ably. Purchases are much larger, and 

 there is a confidence in the buying, not 

 noticeable for a long time. And, surely, 

 the retailer has an advantage .just at 

 this time. He can get exhibition (pial-' 

 ity sweet peas at .$1.00 per hundred 

 s|irays, and the market is loaded with 

 them; carnations at moderate prices, 

 with roses also at the minimum. .Mar- 

 ket phraseology is now of a condensed 

 order — buy (piickly and carry away — 

 ;ind bundles are hourly prominent. 



It cannot be said that conditioils arc 

 ;it all unusual, for heavy crops are al- 

 ways due at this time. Nor can flic 

 ni.iiket !)(' forecast even for a da\' or 

 two. Weather has a lot to do with pro- 

 duction, and it is in favor of the buyer 

 just now. 



There is ;i big sujijily of roses, but it 

 seems to be taken care of. In fact, 

 roses !ire :i little stronger in price than 

 they were last week, the range for 

 hybrid teas of (juality being $4 to $'M)
