The Market. 



In spite of the fact that every farm- 

 er within twenty-five miles of Day- 

 ton had an abundant supply of peonies 

 and retailed them at 25 cents per 

 dozen. Memorial day trade was as good 

 as it ever has been. A week previous 

 it looked doubtful as to whether we 

 would have any home-grown peonies, as 

 the temperature was low and the peo- 

 nies were backward, but during the last 

 week the weather was warm and it 

 brought them in from all sources. Some 

 were of excellent quality, while others 

 were inferior. The florists held their 

 prices up to $1 per dozen retail and, 

 while they did not dispose of such large 

 quantities as in some other years, the 

 majority had few left over. Those sold 

 by the farmers and gardeners on the 

 street market May 29 looked much over- 

 come by the intense heat, but many 

 people bought them on account of the 

 price. 



The weather had been such as to keep 

 carnations in good condition for the 

 Memorial day trade. They brought a 

 good price. The rose supply also was 

 abundant, but there is never a great 

 quantity of roses used for grave decora- 

 tion. The pot plant trade this spring 

 has been most gratifying, and most of 

 the florists have almost sold out. 



June weddings and commencement re- 

 quirements are next in order, for which

Various Notes. 



Fred Lembke, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, was in town last week, 

 making his usual rounds. 



Frank Young, of Vicksburg, Miss., is 

 visiting at the home of his parents. He 

 was called here on account of the se- 

 rious condition of his mother, Mrs. J. 

 F. Young, who has been confined to her 

 home for the last eighteen months. On 

 May 28 she was suddenly taken much 

 worse and at the present writing is un- 

 conscious, with slight chances for re- 

 covery. 



Miss Elsie Bartholomew is enjoying a 

 week's vacation with friends at Indian- 

 apolis, Ind. 



W. W. Horlacher, whose greenhouses 

 are located near Woodland cemetery, 

 tells us that he had 2,000 peonies left 

 on his hands, due to the fact that ped-

dlers stationed themselves near the cem- 

 etery entrance on the morning of May 

 30 and sold peonies for 10 cents a 

 dozen. 



The Heiss Co. reports a good Me- 

 morial day trade, but states that it was 

 not any better this year than last. 

 Everybody agrees this was due to too 

 many peonies. E. A. L.
