 return in each of the coils. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Trade has been exceptionally good 

 the last week. This has been the 

 week of the store openings, and a 

 number of the florists have been work- 

 ing overtime. There has been a great 

 deal of funeral work, the flower market 

 being cleaned up daily. Stock has 

 been hardly plentiful enough to go 

 around. Quantities of short roses are 

 coming into this market. Short Beau- 

 ties are arriving in quantities and 

 move well. Carnations are in fair sup- 

 ply, but are still short-stemmed. There 

 have been a few mums coming in, but 

 there is no great demand. There are 

 still plenty of dahlias to be had. The 

 aster crop is over. 



Various Notes. 



The October meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association is to be held at 

 Smith & Young's, on East Ohio street, 

 Tuesday, October 7, at 8 p. m.

HAETFOED, CONN. 



The Market. 



The last few days have brought 

 ideal fall weather, in contrast to the 

 week before, which was warm and wet. 

 Frost has already got in its work and 

 dahlias are about the only outdoor 

 flowers now. Funeral work has been 

 brisk during the last week. Boses are 

 of good quality and are in good de- 

 mand.
