the same time last year. Carnations, if 

 :anything, are holding their own better 

 than roses, but even they are averaging 

 from 50 cents to $1 per hundred lower 

 than last year. There are plenty of car- 

 nations and they are cleaning out well, 

 though the concession in price has to be 

 made to move them. Lilies, both callas 

 and Harrisii, are more plentiful. Valley 

 is selling fairly well. Violets are equal 

 to the demand and moving out at fair 

 j)riees. Sweet peas have dropped in 

 prieo, but they are selling out pretty well 

 at the lower figures. There are plenty of 

 narcissi, both white and yellow. In green 

 goods this market is well supplied. 



Various Notes. 



The carnation show at. Indianapolis is 

 attracting a number of the Cincinnati 

 florists. Among those going are J. A. 

 Peterson, C. E. Critchell, William Mur- 

 j)hy, R. Witterstaetter, P. J. Olinger, 

 W. K. Partridge and E. G. Gillett. 



E; G. Gillett received and accepted an 

 invitation from Secretary Baur, of the 

 Indiana State Florists' Association, to 

 respond on its behalf to the address of 

 •welcome by the mayor of Indianapolis. 



The called meeting of the Florists' 

 Society, held at Weiland & dinger's 



Saturday night, was a decided success. 

 A large crowd was present and they 

 enjoyed the good cheer provided by the 

 firm. William Gardener saw that none 

 of the boys went away without getting 

 their full share of the good things. At 

 the business meeting several points of 

 importance were talked over and settled, 

 in part at least. Arrangements were 

 completed for the entertainment of the 

 executive board of the S. A. F. at its 

 meeting here sometime in March. The 

 chairmen of several committees were 

 present and made reports. The mgichin- 

 ery looking toward the entertainment of 

 the S. A. F. here next August is fast 

 being put into condition, and before long 

 everything will be in first-class working 

 shape. There is plenty of energy shown 

 at all of the meetings, and it all points 

 to a successful convention. 



O, C. Heberling, of Georgetown, Ky., 

 and F. W. Winter, of Charleston, W. Va., 

 were callers; also William Dilger, of 

 De.roit, Mich., on his way home from 

 a business trip south. On his last visit 

 here, about a week ago, he was se- 

 verely hurt by slipping and striking his 

 knee upon an icy pavement. The in- 

 jury was a painful one.

The Market. 



Business for the last fortnight has 

 been fairly good. Quite a lot of funeral 

 work was turned out, which helped to 

 clean out the glut that had been on the 

 market since the first of the month. 

 Roses are scarce, being off crop. Carna- 

 tions are not quite as plentiful as they 

 were, but are not bringing any better 

 prices. Beauties are equal to the de- 

 mand. 



Romans, Paper Whites and a few 

 tulips are being used up pretty well in 

 design work. Some good azaleas, prim- 

 roses and cyclamens are to be seen at 

 the stores. 



Bowling Club. 



At the last session of the Bowling 

 Club Capt. Will Walker's team took 

 three straights from Capt. Fred L. 

 Schulz 's team. Geo. E. Schulz and Rob- 

 ert Miller were the two highest rollers 

 and will be captains next Monday night. 

 Refreshments will be served and prizes 

 will be rolled for. There will be enough 

 for everybody — both prizes and refresh- 

 ments. K, R.
