INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Memorial day business, as a whole, 

 was satisfactory. Any fears that flow- 

 ers would be scaroe proved groundless, 

 as every market gardener was in the 

 flower business this year. Peonies came 

 in just right, bringing $6 per hundred. 

 Candytuft was plentiful, moved well 

 and was a good asset. Sweet peas were 

 cleaned up, bringing from 50 cents to 

 75 cents per hundred. Carnations were 

 of good quality, owing to the cool 

 spring, and were cleaned up at $6 per 

 hundred. Longiflorums, valley, lilies, 

 orchids. Beauties^ stocks and gladioli 

 were plentiful. 



The funeral of Congressman Jesse 

 Overstreet occurred the day before 

 Decoration day. This funeral, combined 

 with the Memorial day rush, gave the 

 storemen a good run of work, as there 

 were flowers galore at the funeral. 



This has not been the most satisfac- 

 tory year for the flower bedding busi- 

 ness. Owing to the cool weather, it 

 will spread out through June. . There 

 has been more cheap competition this 

 year than for some time. Some florists 

 seem to have the idea that they must 

 get rid of their plants, regardless of 

 the price that they get for them. 



Various Notes. 



The Pahud Floral Co. has two new 

 M-agons and a new $300 horse. This 

 enterprising young firm has the push 

 and get-up which command success. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. had a deco- 

 ration at Peru, Ind., last week. They 

 sent a carload of palms and bay trees 

 by express, to be used in this decora- 

 tion. 



Harry Balsley, of Detroit, spent a 

 few days in this city last week, visit- 

 ing the trade. Mr, Balsley reports the 

 pot business good. He is also boost- 

 ing the Elke' convention, to be held in 

 Detroit in July. 



Albert Pittet hit it right with his 

 sweet peas for Decoration day. He cut 

 thousands of them and found ready 

 sale for them. 



Hartje & Elder had as fine a lot of 

 candytuft and feverfew as could be 

 seen anywhere. They were right just 

 to the minute and were sold out clean 

 the day before Decoration day. 



Baur & Smith have had great suc- 

 cess with their white carnation, Shasta, 

 this year. Mr. Baur states that it 

 yielded more blooms to the plant than 

 any other carnation that they grew, 

 and that it does not crop, but is a 

 steady bloomer. The bench of Shasta 

 certainly looked all that Mr, Baur 

 claimed for it, as it was one mass of 

 blooms last week, H. L. W.
