FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business improved substantially last 

 week. The weather has changed from 

 extreme heat to more seasonable con- 

 ditions. Autumn foliage and early 

 chrysanthemums formed attractive dis- 

 plays in the downtown shops. Wed- 

 dings are more numerous than they 

 were a few weeks ago and they call 

 for a quantity of good flowers. 



Roses, although scarce on account of 

 the heavy demand and the passing of 

 the better grades of outdoor flowers, 

 are considerably better in quality. 

 Shawyer is the leader at present. Bus- 

 sell, Sunburst and Ward are good sec- 

 onds. The sunshine and lower tempera- 

 ture have done wonders to the green- 

 house stock. Carnations are fast im- 

 proving and chrysanthemums are be- 

 coming larger and finer. Funeral work 

 had a big call last week and several 

 large store openings have reduced the 

 supply of stock. Dahlias are plentiful 

 and of good quality. Asters and gladi- 

 oli are about over. There are good 

 Beauties on the market. 



Various Notes. 



The opening of the Reed Shoe Co., 

 September 22, occasioned extensive 

 decorations, which were executed by 

 Miss Flick. Chrysanthemums in white 

 and yellow and Shawyer and Sunburst 

 roses, combined with autumn foliage, 

 were used effectively. The Flick Floral 

 Co. closed a deal last week whereby it 

 will erect a large business block on 

 Harrison street. The property has a 

 frontage of seventy-five feet and is 100 

 feet deep. The building has been leased 

 for ten years by the Ford Automobile 

 Co. 



Miss Margaret Vesey gave a lunch- 

 eon September 20 at the English tea 

 room, in honor of her guest, Mrs. Morri- 

 son, of Decatur, Ind. 



Visitors last week were Mr. Moriconi, 

 of the Moriconi Statuary Co., Cincin- 

 nati, and J. F. Dayton, of Madison 

 Basketcraft Co., Madison, 0. B. F. 



Fort Dodge, la.— The North Floral 

 Co. has moved to its new quarters, at 

 Eleventh street and Central avenue.
