The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



AUGUST 11, 189S. 



WASHINGTON. 



The boys remain remarkably cheer- 

 ful despite the dullness. They say it 

 might be worse. 



A delegation of eight will leave here 

 next Sunday for Omaha, and they are 

 primed for a good time. They are the 

 boys who do not wait for some one to 

 entertain them, but are all good enter- 

 tainers and are sure of a good time. 



Mr. W. A. Manda was a visitor here 

 last week. He took in the entire show. 



Mr. Wm. R. Smith remains in about 

 the same condition. His physicians 

 say there is not the slightest chance 

 for his recovery. It is only a ques- 

 tion of time, the hemorrhages leaving 

 him very weak. W. H. K. 



August 8, 1898. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Dayton Floral Co., which lost 

 nearly everything in last spring's flood, 

 including all their Easter stock, bulbs, 

 plants, household goods, etc., are now 

 rebuilding and will try it again. Their 

 loss by the flood was over |3,0O(t, 

 caused by the breaking of the levee 

 only two squares from their place. 



Otherwise the florists here are all 

 prospering and the usual amount of 

 remodeling is going on. 



There has been quite a number of 

 funerals lately and flowers are very 

 scarce. Asters are a complete failure. 

 Chrysanthemums only fair. M. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The fourth annual excursion of flor- 

 ists and gardeners of Philadelphia and 

 vicinity to Dreer's Nurseries, Riverton, 

 N. J., will take place Tuesday, Aug. 16. 

 The steamer "Columbia" will leave the 

 Chestnut street wharf at 11 a. m., and 

 the steamer Twilight at 11:30 a. m. 



These annual excursions have al- 

 ways proved very enjoyable occasions 

 in the past and the coming one is 

 looked forward to with very pleasura- 

 ble anticipations. 



HUNT'S REVIEVT OP THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



With an increasing demand and more stoclt 

 to meet it we think the tide has turned and 

 from now on business will be on the ascend- 

 ency. 



Young stock is growing more plentiful every 

 day. blooms of good size and color, but stems 

 short as yet. The only real shortage is in 

 carnations of good quality, there being prac- 

 tically none to Ije had; plenty of outside 

 grown, but they show the effects of our late, 

 and we all hope, past, scorching weather. 

 Asters are decidedly long, because of small 

 demand. Sweet peas are abundant and the 

 quality is not as good as it has been earlier 

 in the season. 



Local trade seems to be picking up, and 

 while there is some complaint, the general 

 tone is better. 



Country trade seems to be al)out the same 

 as it was last year at this time, but everj-one 

 throughout the countrj' is looking for a big 

 trade the coming year, and from tlie general 

 feeling In other lines, we think this is likely 



ADVS. for our Convention Number 

 to be issued next week must leach us 

 by the morning's mail of Aug. 17 to 

 be in time.
