INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Trade continues good, and everyone 

 has all he can do, especially florists doing 

 bedding business. Of the last week, four 

 days were rainy, and this went hard on 

 the florists filling cemetery vases. Imag- 

 ine about 300 vases to fill and two days 

 in which to do it. With no sunshine last 

 week, blooming geraniums are hard to 

 find. 



Decoration day business this year was 

 about the same as last year, but should 

 have been better, owing to the scarcity 

 of outdoor flowers. Rain all day on Sun- 

 day no doubt cut down business, as many 

 who intended going to the cemetery on 

 that day were disappointed. Roses and 

 carnations were enough to go around. 

 There was a shortage in peonies Satur- 

 day, but the warm rain on Sunday 

 brought them out in a hurry, and they 

 were plentiful on Monday. Peonies 

 brought $1.50 to $2 per dozen; carna- 

 tions, $1 per dozen; roses, $1.50, $2 and 

 $2.50 per dozen; Beauties, $4 to $9; 

 lilies $3 to $4 per dozen. Sweet peas were 

 plentiful, bringing 35 cents to 50 cents 

 per bunch of two dozen. There were 

 quantities of snapdragon, candytuft and 

 feverfew to be had. The florists at the 

 flower market had all they could do.
