INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Business continues good. Numerous 

 decorations, coupled with some little fu- 

 neral work, are keeping the retailers 

 busy. The flower market is one mass of 

 chrysanthemums now, and the price is in 

 keeping with the quantity. The prices 

 on market are less than half those of the 

 retail stores. Mums of the medium 

 grades are selling well, but there is little 

 room for the high-priced blooms. Pom- 

 pons are coming in quantity and are 

 moving well. Carnations are improving, 

 and are bringing a good price, consider- 

 ing this is the chrysanthemum season. 

 Beauties are continuing in good quality 

 and are selling well; Brides, Brides- 

 maids, Killarney and Kichmond are also 

 enjoying a ready sale, with Killarney in 

 the lead, A number of the department 

 stores have recently held sales of Boston 

 ferns at prices ranging from 13 cents to 

 25 cents. I do not think these sales will 

 stimulate the flower buying public, as 

 these ferns are shipped without the pots 

 and lie around two or three days before 

 they are sold. After buying, the pur- 

 chaser pots them in his own way, and you 

 can imagine how long these ferns will 

 last. I think if the wholesaler, who sells 

 these ferns to the department stores, 

 would stop and consider, he would find 

 that he is cutting his own throat. 



Vaftottt Notes. 



Smith & Young are sending in quanti- 

 ties of labiatas. 



Sidney Smith says there is more money 

 in raising prize Plymouth Eock roosters 

 than in chrysanthemums, as he says that 

 you cannot even give the mums away on 

 market. 



Adolph Baur is taking in the sights of 

 Chicago this week. 



F. W. Brandt is considering putting in 

 a motorcycle for light delivery. 



Word has been received announcing the 

 marriage of Fred Gust, formerly with A. 

 Wiegand & Sons, but now with the Wash- 

 ington Floral Co., Washington, D. C. 

 Good luck to Gust. 



J. F. Dayton, representing the Madison 

 Basketcrait Co., was a visitor with us 

 this week. 



George Wiegand is in Chicago this 

 week, acting in the capacity of a judge at 

 the flower show. 



One of the events of the week was the 

 marriage of Alfred Pahud, Jr., and Miss 

 Louer. The floral decorations for the 

 occasion were elaborate. The couple were 

 the recipients of many beautiful wedding 

 gifts. After a short wedding trip, Mr. 

 and Mrs. Pahud will be at home in their 

 new home at Thirty-fourth and Grace- 

 land avenue. H. L. W. 



Kendallville, Ind. — The Johnson 

 Floral Co. will open a retail store in the 

 Boyer Opera House block.
