The Market. 



Business does not show niucli im- 

 provement over last week. Vacations 

 are in full force, but those ou the job 

 are well able to take care of the little 

 business that comes along. Most of the 

 stores are closing at G \k m. and Sun- 

 days at noon. 



Stock is scarce. Carnations are still 

 to be had, but are extremely poor. As- 

 ters are hardly yet making an impres- 

 sion, most of them being of poor qual 

 ity. Easter lilies are finding a ready 

 demand and gladioli are moving well. 

 Some first-class Beauties are to be seen. 



Various Notes. 



The city of Indianapolis took out a 

 building permit last week for the new 

 conservatories at Garfield park, to cost 

 $28,000. This is a much needed improve- 

 ment, as the old greenhouses at that 

 place would be a disgrace to any florist, 

 let alone the city of Indianapolis. 



E. J. Brown, of Shelbyville, visited 

 the different florists one day last week. 



A. Wiegand's Sons Co. and Bauer & 

 Steinkamp arc doing quite a business in 

 poinsettias. 



Sidney Smith has just about wound 

 things up at his place and is playing 

 the part of a gentleman now. 



Herman Junge and Carl Sonnen- 

 schmidt are touring northern Indiana in 

 an automobile. 



George Wiegand is contemplating an 

 automobile trip to New York soon. 



Adolph Baur and Oliver Steinkamp 

 were the only Indianapolis florists who 

 attended the state florists' meeting at 

 Winona Lake last week. 



L. F. Benson reports business good 

 for this time of the year. He says that 

 he has been getting considerable funeral 

 work of late. 



Alfred Brandt has added canary birds 

 and goldfish to his line. H. L. W. 



POINSETTIAS 



We have reduced the propagation of this plant to a science. We 

 root them as sure as you do a coleus cutting, and in large quantity. 

 That makes it easy for us to give you plants that are right. We 

 are now shipping as fine young plants as you ever laid eyes on. 

 Sturdy, short stuff that will start right off and finish up with the 

 highest quality. 



Plant now for large bracts for cutting. Let us also book your 

 order now for what you will need later on to plant in pans. 



From 2<--inch pots, at $5.00 per 100, $45.00 per 1000
