The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 29, 1909. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market 



Trade last Aveek was fairly good, the 

 larger part being funeral work, with 

 some few decorations. Counter trade was 

 light. Eoses and carnations are of good 

 quality, owing to the cool weather. The 

 heaviest lot of indoor bulbous stuff is a 

 thing of the past. Easter lilies and 

 callas have good demand. Marguerites 

 and mignonette are arriving in fair 

 quantity. Sweet peas are abundant and 

 moving well. Trade in bedding plants 

 is -commencing, and some veranda boxes 

 are to be seen already, although it is 

 about three weeks early. 



Various Notes. 



Hartje & Elder are sending in some 

 fine sweet peas and snapdragons. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists ' Association of Indiana 

 will be held at the State House next 

 Tuesday afternoon. 



Baur & Smith are busy filling orders 

 for geraniums. This firm is cutting 

 some fine sweet peas. 



A number of florists in the vicinity 

 of tlie cemetery have agreed on an in- 

 crease of about forty per cent in the 

 price of filling cemetery vases, and are 

 sending out notices to that effect. 



A. Wiegand & Sons had the decora- 

 tions for the opening at the Countrv 

 Club this week. C. W. Sellers, of this 

 firm, is on the sick list. 



B. L. Woodward, formerly of this (ity 

 and recently with T. E. Franks, of 

 Champaign, 111., has returned to the city 

 and has taken up landscape gardening. 

 He reports business good. 



The mother of N. B. Tarkington, the 

 author, died last week. Mr. Tarkington 

 is one of the best flower buyers we have. 

 He usually buys everything in sight and 

 a little more. His individual order for 

 the funeral amounted to about $500. 



Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Wiegand are 

 going to leave for a three months' trip 

 to Germany. France and Italy about 

 May 20. H. L. W. 



Little Bock, Ark. — Every one in the

 ever before.
