The Market. 



Decoration day business was the best 

 ever experienced, but the weather condi- 

 tions and shortage of stock were about 

 the worst that could have happened. The 

 hot spell of the week prior to Decoration 

 day, followed by cold and cloudy 

 weather, shortened stock to such an ex- 

 tent that calculations on receipts were 

 impossible. Outdoor stock was badly 

 checked and affected by the heavy rain 

 and cold nights, this throwing the entire 

 demand on roses, carnations and other 

 greenhouse stock. This being a day 

 when cheap stock mostly is wanted, it 

 was hardly possible to advance prices 

 above the usual quotations, but the stiff 

 market helped clean up inferior stock at 

 much better figures than what could have 

 been realized had weather been favorable 

 for supply. Therefore the average re- 

 turns were satisfactory. 



lioc^Auyers who always depend on 

 the nfiH"ket, without placing orders, were 

 disappointed, as the advance shipping or- 

 ders cleaned up the bulk of the supply, 

 and extensive cutting on orders was 

 necessary to help everybody out on out- 

 side orders. The sharp advance within 

 a few days, especially on carnations, 

 confronted the retailers with many diffi- 

 culties, for many of the "10 cents a 

 dozen" signs were conspicuously dis- 

 played in some of the down-town estab- 

 lishments up to Saturday, when the price 

 jumped to 50 cents and 75 cents a dozen, 

 which probably had a demoralizing ef- 

 fect on the flower buyers. More uniform 



prices would be a better rule and more 

 satisfactory all around. 



There is still quite a quantity of bed- 

 ding stock on the market, but mostly 

 stock which was not in bloom when 

 needed. Geraniums were the heavy sell- 

 ers, although canpas, vincas, pansies and 

 verbenas sold well. 



There were practically no jasmine or 

 peonies on the market. 



Variottt Notes. 



Fred Ernst has bought the establish- 

 ment of Hans Bartels, deceased, and will 

 continue the business at the old stand. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. took in sixty 

 cases of palms and araucarias which 

 came in from Belgium. They had a busy 

 week at their greenhouse plant. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports a 

 very satisfactory business right along. 

 They had a big May and expect a first- 

 class June. Incog. 



BLUFFTON, IND. 



Myers & Co. report their most success- 

 ful season, sales for Memorial day being 

 fully twenty-five per cent ahead of last 

 year. They were cleaned out of stock, 

 both in cut flowers and plants. They 

 have 16,000 square feet of glass and 

 will make an addition of about 6,000 

 feet this summer. Three houses each 

 will be lengthened twenty-one feet, and 

 a new house 24x121 will be built for 

 roses. This hoifse will have gutters set 

 six feet from the ground and will be 

 thoroughly modern in every feature of 

 its construction. With this addition, 

 making 22,000 feet of glass, they will be 

 prepared for another increase in business 

 next season and will add a department 

 for general wholesale gardening.
