The Market. 



The first reports of Mothers ' day busi- 

 ness at Newark are quite satisfactory. 

 There was a large sale of flowers and an 

 increased demand for Mothers' day spe- 

 cialties, including mottoes to go with 

 orders. 



Prices were high, carnations being 

 sold at from 30 cents to 50 cents each, 

 retail. Many retailers complain that 

 this is too much and say that they could 

 do more business at a lower price. 

 Growers, on the other hand, report that 

 prices of coal and other supplies that go 

 into production are stiU high. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, report a satisfactory 

 Mothers' day business. 



James J. Plunkett states that he has 

 had an unusually large amount of wed- 

 ding work for this season of the year. 

 He has also had a great amount of fu- 

 neral work. 



The Rosery Floral Co. reports the best 

 Mothers' day business ever. The sale 

 on novelties began early and was un- 

 usually large. 



Previous to Mothers' day the Eev. 

 Frederick George Willey, pastor of the 

 Sandford Street Methodist Episcopal 

 church, issued a statement protesting 

 against the high prices that have been 

 charged by florists for Mothers' day. 

 He appealed to his congregation to wear 

 a white ribbon instead of flowers, and 

 suggested that the money saved might 

 be contributed to the near east relief 

 fund. In his statement he said that if 

 one-half of the population of New Jer- 

 sey, 3,155,900 people, would sacrifice a 

 carnation and give the price to the re- 

 lief fund, it would amount to $473,385, 

 nearly a half -million dollars. 



Newark florists, supplied with white 

 carnations by New Jersey growers, were 

 able to undersell those who were de- 

 pendent on the New York wholesale 

 market for their blooms. There was $1 

 difference in price per dozen between 

 New Jersey growers and New York 

 growers. E. B, M. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



In general, business has been good. 

 Bedding stock is now one of the most 

 important items. All flowers for plant- 

 ing out are moving well. On account 

 of the backwardness of the season, the 

 demand for this stock has come all at 

 once. Decorations for social events 

 have also been a feature. The usual 

 prenuptial parties and weddings have 

 caused cut flowers, corsages, etc., to be 

 popular. Some new spring stock has 

 also appeared; this stock includes del- 

 phiniums, gladioli and peonies. 



Mothers' Day Business. 



Business at Mothers' day was excep- 

 tionally good. Carnations were in big 

 demand. The supply was large, but the 

 demand was so great that the supply 

 moved rapidly. Carnations sold at from 

 $12 to $15 wholesale, with Laddie bring- 

 ing from $18 to $20. The retail price 

 ranged from $2.50 to $4 per dozen, fine 

 Laddies bringing the latter price. Roses 

 and sweet peas ran a close second on 

 sales, but all other flowers sold well. 

 Potted plants were also in big demand, 

 but the upply was limited. Flowers
