The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 25, 1908. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



We have no great reason to complain 

 of the state of trade in the last two 

 weeks. It has been as brisk as could be 

 expected, with plenty of funeral work 

 and wedding orders to help it along. The 

 demand for roses seems to be greater 

 than that for carnations, and, as the 

 crops on roses seem to be somewhat short, 

 it is diflScult to find enough to supply 

 the demand. While roses are used exten- 

 sively in wedding orders, carnations are 

 more popular with the funeral sprays 

 and designs. Lily of the valley holds its 

 usual popularity with the bridal bouquet 

 and longiflorum helps out with the deco- 

 rations. 



Weather Conditions. 



The weather during the last two weeks 

 has been extremely hot and dry, making 

 it almost impossible to work under glass 

 or any place. The crops of all kinds in 

 the fields have been suffering terribly for 

 the want of rain. 



These conditions held true until Friday 

 afternoon, June 19, when a terrific wind 

 storm blew up, followed by a heavy rain 

 and hail storm. While the hail did not 

 do a great deal of damage, the wind de- 

 stroyed much property. It blew down 

 large trees and telephone poles, carried 

 hotbed sashes in every direction, and was 

 instrumental in the breaking of lots of 

 greenhouse glass. The friiit trees also 

 suffered a great loss of fruit, which was 

 shaken off by the strong wind. 



This was the worst storm Dayton has 

 witnessed for a great many years. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young returned last 

 week from her trip to Des Moines. Mrs. 

 Young reports that she had a fine time. 

 On her return she stopped over in Chi- 

 cago and made a few calls. 



The Miami Floral Co. has been doing a 

 splendid business on Lilium giganteum 

 the last two weeks. 



The plant of the Dayton Floral Co. 

 was badly damaged in the storm of last 

 Friday. R. A. B.
