Business here is good and both fu- neral work and corsages are in demand. Several dances lately have helped the corsage business. Carnations are still $2 per dozen and roses and tulips are $2 per dozen and up. The railroad strike has not affected the supply here, as home-grown stock is plentiful. Chicago shipments are still arriving. The strike does not affect incoming shipments, but outgoing ship- ments are not taken here, as they cannot be moved. A severe cold snap did a little damage last week, when the temperature went down to 19 degrees after several days of summer weather. The weather here is wet and disagreeable and the cash and carry trade is slack, but the unusual demand for funeral work in the last few days more than made up for this. Various Notes. J. A. Martin lost several thousand tomato plants which he had set out the night before the temperature dropped so suddenly. Thomas J. Ludwig has been doing a big funeral business. He turned out four large double sprays Friday, April 16, besides numerous other large designs. The Munk Floral Co. has a large crop of roses on now and they seem to be the best in this vicinity, both in size and color. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- ting some fine roses. J. W. T. SHUT THE CHUTE. •rhe possible demand for good stock at this time is like the grain in a bin Uiat empties through a chute in the tfuttom. The man who starts filling a Lag underneath may be smothered by what he came for if he can't shut it in time. If the chute is a big one and lets a lot come through, he's got to be quick to save himself. That's why adver- tisers in the Classified section of The Review do well to keep a pad of tele- graph blanks close at hand. Then they use them. Like this: Please discontinue salvia .Tnd verbena ads. Can't supply all the orders. Thank yon.—H. J. Potomkin. Miincie, Ind., April 19,
