The Florists' Review 



JUNB 10, 1915. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market.' ' 



Eain every day for the last two weeks 

 compelled the florists of this vicinity to 

 get their outside work done between 

 showers. There was much inconveni- 

 ence and disappointment to customers 

 who were anxious to get their vases, 

 flower boxes and beds planted before 

 Memorial day, which was made impossi- 

 ble by the weather conditions. A good 

 business, both in cut flowers and bed- 

 ding plants, is reported by all our local 

 florists, practically all the bedding 

 plants being sold out. Peonies came in 

 well for Memorial day, and were in the 

 greatest demand. Carnations were next 

 in popularity and, for the time of year, 

 were m good shape as to size and color, 

 the weather conditions being favorable. 

 The writer has lived in Dayton for the 

 last twelve years and has visited the 

 cemeteries every Memorial day; this year 

 the flowers seemed more beautiful than 

 ever before, extending as far as the eye 

 could reach, with the rich, dark green 

 grass for a background. It was a sight 

 seldom seen and never to be forgotten. 



Various Notes. 

 Mrs. B. Haschke, of the College Park 

 Greenhouses, has a new Pierce-Arrow 

 delivery car. 



The Miami Floral Co. reports having 

 secured the contract for all flowers and 

 bouquets being used in the high schools 

 this month for commencement exercises 

 Competitive bids were made for this 

 contract. Bed carnations and smilax are 

 used. The cost is about $400. 



The Heiss Co. has the contract for the 

 parks and public grounds this year. 



Charles Rhoads, Brookville, O., re- 

 ports that he intends to build a new 

 greenhouse, 25x100, to be devoted to pot 

 plants and vegetables. 



D. Eusconi and his son, of Cincinnati, 

 visited the trade last week.

Superior. Wia— Alex. C. Gardiner,

 months at 1418 Tower avenue, until

 illness, has become manager of the re- 

 tail store of the Superior Floral Co 

 at 1410 Tower avenue. Mr. Gardiner
