Florists' Baskets 



Oar aim is Art stio Baskets; that is what makes them appeal to dis- 

 criminating people. Every battket is made by hand, and finished aa if onr

 Go 's baskets are designed for use as well as beaaty. They are practical, 

 indestructible, made oi willow in odd and artistic shapes, and colored in 

 various delicate tones. Greene, gun metal and browns are the beet colors.

Thilow saya the bulb season has been ex- 

 cellent and that Riverton leads the known 

 world on Cocos Weddelliana. 



Robert Kift, the Thorley of Philadel- 



phia, went out to see the Christmas 

 plants of the Robert Craig Co. November 

 29. Instead of saying that they were not 

 this, or they were not that, as a buyer is 

 privileged to do, he became enthusiastic 

 in praise. Phiu 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Business last week, with the exception 

 of that for Thanksgiving, showed little 

 improvement over the previous week. 

 The weather continues warm, with no re- 

 lief in sight. Flowers of all kinds are 

 plentiful, with the exception of mums, 

 only the larger sizes to be had. 



From all reports the Thanksgiving 

 business was far better than last year. 

 Chrysanthemums were the popular flower. 

 The medium grades had the call and were 

 entirely cleaned up; many more could 

 have been sold were they to be had. I 

 think the growers make a mistake by 

 growing the larger blooms for Thanks- 

 giving, as they are not suitable for the 

 dinner table. Quantities of the pompon 

 varieties were to be had, but these did 

 not sell as well this season as last. 



Various Notes. 



John Grande has the automobile fever. 



Secretary A. F. J. Baur has completed 

 the premium list for the carnation con- 

 vention at Pittsburg and is mailing it out 

 this week. Anyone not receiving one can 

 secure same by notifying Mr. Baur. 



J. McHutchison, of McHutchison & 

 Co., and G. P. Dobremsyl, with H. F. 

 Darrow, were visitors this week. 



John Eisner says that he thought he 

 was through with assessments when they 

 put sewers, sidewalks and improved the 

 street around his place, but now be has 

 received notice of an assessment of $125 

 on a sewer three miles away. H. L. W. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving has opened the social 

 season of the nation's capital, with the 

 debutante in full swing, and the flower 

 shops are doing some good work. 



There were numerous weddings on for 

 November 24 and 25, which called for 

 some choice stock. Shaffer had probably 

 the most elaborate one, the Miles-Noble 

 wedding. 



There was quite a scarcity of stock on 

 Thanksgiving, especially in valley, which 

 was never known to be so much in de- 

 mand. Carnations also were quite scarce 

 and were looked for by every florist. 



Roses are bringing better prices, while 

 violets and orchids still hold their own. 

 Chrysanthemums are pretty well cleaned 

 up; there are only a few now and again 

 and they sell readily. 



Variotn Notes. 



The windows of Geo. H. Cooke are 

 very attractive, being massed with Lor- 

 raine and Farleyense. Mr. Cooke reports 

 business as excellent. 



A. Hubbard, of New London, Conn., 

 has accepted a position with Marche & 

 Co. Mr. Marche 's Thanksgiving business 

 was quite brisk. 



The Washington Florists' Exchange 

 has purchased its stock of ribbons, which 

 will compare favorably with the stock 

 of any supply house in the country. 



W. F. 



Toledo, O.— Charles A. Schramm, the 

 florist at 1315 Cherry street, has taken 

 his brother, Bernard G. Sphramm, into 

 the business, and the name of the firm 

 will be Schramm Bros. Business, they 

 say, is excellent.
