The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 12, 1908. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Business in general has been somewhat 

 slow, although some of our florists speak 

 favorably of it. Funeral orders have 

 been quite numerous, as some of our most 

 prominent citizens have died. There is 

 a good demand for roses, but they are 

 still scarce. Carnations can be had in 

 any quantity. Calla lilies seem to move 

 nicely, but there is not an overabundance 

 of them. Easter lilies, daffodils, hya- 

 cinths and bulbous stock in general move 

 slowly. Azaleas do not bring the price 

 they ought to, but they are used quite 

 extensively as presents. The weather 

 has been favorable to the grower, as the 

 days are bright and the nights temperate. 



Variotfs Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co., which is chiefly 

 conducted on a wholesale basis, reports 

 that in the month of February it has 

 done a much better business than that of 

 February, 1907. It is cutting some fine 

 carnations, and its propagation on same 

 has been most encouraging this season. 



The Dayton Floral Co., which is situ- 

 ated along the Miami river, has, for the 

 last two weeks, experienced considerable 

 trouble with water getting into the boiler- 

 room, and it has been necessary, there- 

 fore, to call on the fire department to 

 pump them out. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held the 

 annual election of officers March 2 at the 

 store of Mrs. Elizabeth Young, on East 

 Fifth street. The following is the result 

 of the election: President, H. H. Ritter; 

 vice-president, Mrs. E. Young; treasurer, 

 George Bartholomew; secretary, Horace 

 Frank. Mr. Frank has been secretary 

 of the club ever since its organization, 

 which took place in March, 1906. After 

 the election of officers, the meeting was 

 turned over to a general discussion of 

 business topics and a social time was en- 

 joyed. 



The executive committee of the Day- 

 ton Florists' Club met at the store of H. 

 H, Bitter, in the Algonquin Hotel build- 

 ing, on March 7. 



Crocuses are in bloom on our Dayton 

 lawns. 



Mrs. John Boehner, who has been crit- 

 ically ill with the grip, is reported to 

 be on the road to recovery, 



Mr. Gowdy, of Henry A. Dreer, Phil- 

 adelphia, was one of our last week's vis- 

 itors. K. A. B. 



Crawfohdsvelle, Ind. — In the show 

 window of McDonald & Steele's West 

 Main street store there has lately been a 

 display of Aristocrat and White Perfec- 

 tion carnations of such excellent quality 

 as to do great credit to the firm 's grower, 

 A. S. Petit. The blooms measure from 

 four to four and a half inches.
