The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JANDABY 11, 1912. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Indianapolis is in the midst of the 

 coldest spell that it has experienced 

 in the last twenty-five years; the ther- 

 mometer showed 16 degrees below zero 

 Sunday morning, January 7, and the 

 fireman is about the busiest man around 

 the greenhouses these days. The recent 

 cold weather has had a tendency to 

 shorten the supply of cut flowers. How- 

 ever, trade has dropped oflf consider- 

 ably since the holidays and there is 

 plenty of stock to be had. Carnations 

 have shortened to a large extent, the 

 better grades bringing from $3 to $4 

 per hundred. Beauties have suffered 

 from the recent cloudy weather, bring- 

 ing from $1.50 to $6 per dozen. First- 

 class Killarney and Kichmond bring $10 

 to $12.50 per hundred, while Brides and 

 Maids go at $8 to $10. Sweet peas 

 are to be had, but not in quantity, while 

 Paper Whites, Eomans and jonquils 

 are plentiful. Orchids, valley and vio- 

 lets are not in heavy demand. 



Various Notes. 



The annual meeting of the State 

 Florists' Association is to be held at

 ber of surprises to offer and members
