 E. Farley, of C. W. McKellar's force, 

 who bowls with the Carnations, took part 

 in a tournament at Bensinger's March 

 20, given for the members of the Flo- 

 rists' and two other leagues bowling 

 there, and came out with second high 

 score for three games and high for single 

 game with 267. He won $9 in money and 

 $3 worth of cigarettes, the latter some- 

 thing he does not use. 



The bowling league will take a vaca- 

 tion over Easter. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Trade conditions for the last week 

 have been only fair, the greater part of 

 the work being for funerals. Flowers 

 have been plentiful, due, no doubt, to the 

 fine weather we have had for the last 

 three weeks. Those who thought they 

 would pot get their lilies and spiraeas for 

 Easter will have no trouble, as we have 

 had continual sunshine for several weeks. 

 The indications are that stock will be 

 plentiful, and with favorable weather 

 this should be the best Easter in years. 

 Large quantities of Beauties and roses 

 have been sold of late, and the quality 

 is good. Numerous growers report car- 

 nations as off crop, and no doubt there 

 will be a shortage in this flower for 

 Easter. Bulbous stock should be plenti- 

 ful, as a great many growers have been 

 holding their stock back for Easter. In- 

 dications are that there will be more than 

 enough Easter lilies to go around, and 

 peas, valley, lilacs, violets and orchids 

 will find a ready sale. In pot plants, 

 some fine azaleas, ramblers, rhododen- 

 drons, spirffias, lilacs and numerous other 

 plants are to be seen. 



White carnations were at a premium 

 the earlier part of last week, owing to

St. Patrick's day. The Irish were well 

 represented, and the downtown florists 

 found a heavy demand for the green car- 

 nations. 



Last week saw a number of depart- 

 ment store openings wiiich kept the palm 

 decorators busy. Another sure sign of 

 spring is the number of sales on rose 

 bushes and hardy plants by the depart- 

 ment stores. 



Florists at the flower market report 

 business good. As Indianapolis has no 

 commission houses, the store men do 

 quite a little buying at the flower mar- 

 ket, and between the wholesale and re- 

 tail business the growers manage to 

 clean up their stock. 



Indianapolis is to have a floral parade 

 in connection with the auto show the 

 week after Easter. The decorations are 

 to be of artificial or natural flowers, and 

 the dealers in artificial flowers are en- 

 joying a good business, as the price on 

 these flowers is advancing daily. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Hukreide says business has been 

 good of late. Mr. Hukreide says he is 

 right for Easter, as his bulb stock is 

 coming in fine, and he is well supplied 

 with other blooming plants. 



William Hack has been sending in 

 some fine carnations of late. 



A. Wiegand & Sons are well supplied 

 for Easter. They probably have more 

 Easter lilies than anv one else in the
