quite a farm, devoting considerable space 

 to outdoor flowers. Peonies occupy the 

 most space, but he also has large beds 

 devoted to Japanese iris, gladioli and 

 asters. . In some of his ponds he has 

 started pond lilies in various colors. 

 With this combination, together with 

 quite a good acreage of peaches, he 

 manages to make things go nicely. 



The retailers also report good busi- 

 ness, and that prices were good, in spite 

 of the large quantity of outdoor flow- 

 ers. This point in itself shows how 

 great the demand was.

DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Decoration day for 1908 is now a 

 thing of the past, and our florists, who 

 during the last few weeks worked like 

 Trojans, are getting a little more rest. 

 Each of our florists had his own liberal 

 share of business, but some of them 

 report that it was not quite so good 



as last year's trade, as the hot weather 

 brought the peonies in through the coun- 

 try, and last year the weather was cool 

 and outdoor flowers did not come in 

 so soon. Consequently, this season, the 

 street market of Friday afternoon was 

 filled with tubs of peonies, brought in 

 by the market gardeners, but the hot 

 sun which poured down on them brought 

 them out in full bloom, and some of 

 their purchasers found nothing but 

 empty stems when they went to get their 

 Decoration day bouquet. So, in this 

 event, they had to make an early call on 

 the florist Decoration day morning, in 

 order to have the graves decorated as 

 they desired. 



In looking through our greenhouses 

 now, one will not see many bedding 

 plants — merely a few crippled stragglers 

 that have been picked up and set down 

 by more than one customer, but upon 

 taking a look about the parks and the 

 city in general, one can see where the 

 flowers have all gone, for the citizens 

 of Dayton take great pride in the ap- 

 pearance of their lawns. 



The weather in the last few days haa 

 cooled oflf to such an extent that an 

 overcoat feels just about right. These 

 conditions are greatly appreciated by the 

 florist who has to work under the glass, 

 and it is also a good thing for cut 

 flowers, as the past hot weather had com- 

 menced to play havoc with the roses, 

 and our florists, of course, want the best 

 roses obtainable for the coming June 

 weddings. 



Carnations are quite plentiful, but 

 small, and have dropped from 4 cents 

 and 5 cents to 2 cents since Decoration 

 day. Callas are almost past blooming 

 for this season. B. A. B. 



A proposition to enter the proposed 

 federation of improvement associations 

 and welfare leagues of the city will be 

 submitted to members of the Dayton Flo- 

 rists ' Club at a meeting June 8, by Mrs. 

 J. F. Young, member of the club. 



Mrs. Young is in favor of such a 

 federation to work for the general wel- 

 fare of the city, and other members will
