INDIANAPOLIS. 



Tlie Market. 



i- Business for the last two" weeks has 

 been exceptionally good in all lines, es- 

 pecially funeral work. The first week in 

 March brought a decided change in the 

 weather, spring having come all at once. 

 Owing to the heavy demand, flowers ot 

 'all kinds have been scarce, Brides, Maids 

 and carnations being cleaned up daily. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful, but there is 

 no glut on the market as in years gone 

 by Home grown orchids are oflE; the 

 only ones to be had are shipped in, which 

 is unsatisfactory. California violets are 

 more than enough to go around, but 

 sweet peas and valley are not a drug on 

 the market. Quantities of Laster lilies 



and callas are coming in and the out- 

 look for lilies for Easter is fine, as there 

 are quantities of good ones to be seen. 



Various Notes. 



Alf reM Pahud, Jr., junior member of the 

 Pahud Floral Co., has severed his con- 

 nection with that firm and will go into 

 the wholesale jewelry business with his 

 father-in-law, Mr. Lauer. Mr. Pahud 

 should have a bright future, as this is 

 an old established firm and enjoys a good 

 business. Mr. Pahud has the best wishes 

 of his brother florists. 



Henry Bhodenbeck is sending in some 

 fine California violets and Easter lilies. 



John Bertermann is lying awake 

 nights now, figuring how to get the road 

 improved to Cumberland. Mr. Berter- 

 mann has purchased a new automobile. 



S. T. Hitz & Co. have their place in 

 excellent condition. This firm does not 

 confine its efforts entirely to flowers, as 

 they have about six houses devoted to 

 lettuce, parslejft and radishes, which are 

 in a flourishing condition. Mr. Hitz has 

 the inside track on the vegetable busi- 

 ness, as he owns an interest in a large 

 commission house here and makes it a 

 point to see that his goods move. In 

 flowers they have several houses of car- 

 nations, one of California violets, and one 



of peas, all of which are in crop now. S. 

 T. Hitz has been in the florists ' business 

 only three years, but he says give him 

 two or three years more and he will grow 

 flowers as good as any of them. From 

 the looks of his place, I believe he is 

 right. 



A test car belonging to the Marion 

 Motor Car Co. collided with E. A. Nel- 

 son's wagon last week, and Mr. Nelson 

 came out second best. Theo. Millenger, 

 the driver, was skinned up more or less, 

 the horse slightly injured and the back 

 end of the wagon demolished. The 

 wagon was taken to the repair shop by 

 the auto people, and Mr. Nelson thought 

 they were going to settle, but when he 

 sent for it, it was charged to him. I 

 think Mr. Nelson has a good case for 

 damages, as his wagon was on the right 

 side of the street and the driver of the 

 auto ran into it from the. rear, evidently 

 not seeing it. 



Geo. Wiegand is traveling ea^t. It 

 is the Scottish Eite this time. 



The meeting of the State Florists' As- 

 sociation was well attended last week, 

 quite a number of out-of-town florists be- 

 ing present. Matters pertaining to the 

 state fair and fall show were discussed, 

 as was also the question of how to in- 

 crease the attendance at the monthly 

 meetings. B. F. Hensley, of Knights-
