INDIANAPOLIS. 



Trade has been fairly steady for the 

 last two weeks. The recent cloudy 

 weather has shortened the supply of cut 

 stock, but it looks as though there 

 would be enough for the Christmas 

 trade. Home-grown roses are first- 

 class, despite the cloudy weather. 

 First-class carnations are plentiful. 

 Sweet peas are scarce, the recent cloudy 

 weather causing the buds to drop oflf. 

 The indications are that there will be 

 none for Christmas. Valley, lilies, 

 orchids and violets are plentiful. Poin- 

 settias, stevias, Paper Whites and Ro- 

 mans are enough for the demand. 



Blooming plants are plentiful. Fine 

 azaleas, poinsettias, Lorraine and Cin- 

 cinnati begonias and cyclamens are 

 available in unlimited quantities. 



Holly, laurel and other Christmas 

 greens show no scarcity as yet, and in- 

 dications point to no shortage this 

 year. H. L». W.
