INDIANAPOLIS, IND, 



The Market. 



Trade during the holidays and the 

 last week has been quite satisfactory. 

 Parties and receptions calling for elabo- 

 rate decorations were not as numerous 

 as a year ago, but the number of smaller 

 ones created a steady demand for flow- 

 ers. The demand for corsages is stead- 

 ily increasing and is one of the factors 

 of the business during the holidays, call- 

 ing for orchids, valley, peas, violets 

 and roses. 



Funeral work was steady last week 

 and cleaned the market daily. Carna- 

 tions are of good quality, but are not 

 sufficient to go around. High grade 

 roses are plentiful. Brides, Maids, Kil- 

 larney and Richmond being obtainable 

 in almost any quantity. Beauties are 

 not up to their standard, owing to the 

 recent cloudy weather. 



Home-grown orchids are plentiful, 

 selling mostly in corsages. Yellow jon- 

 quils, lilacs and freesias are making 

 their appearance and are bringing bet- 

 ter prices than will be obtainable later. 

 Most of the violets are the eastern dou- 

 bles and they are in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Morton M. Brandlein has quantities 

 of fine stevia and his carnations have 

 been of good quality, 



Harry Balsley spent a few days in 

 the city last week, calling on the trade. 

 Mr. Balsley reports the pot business 

 good. 



Smith & Young have been cutting 

 some extra fine Killarney lately. They 

 also are cutting some Cattleya Trianae. 



Frank Soule, formerly with John Bie- 

 man, but later of Seattle, Wash., is 

 back at the old stand. He says Indian- 

 apolis is good enough for him. 



Ernest Eieman is back in the florist 

 business after spending about four 

 months on a jury. He says he has had 

 enough jury service to do him the bal- 

 ance of his days. 



Charles Wheatcraft has been sending 

 in some good sweet peas. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. is going to put 

 in another automobile for delivery.-
