DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Business last week was a little slow in 

 some respects. Roses, which were plen- 

 tiful at the beginning of the week, are 

 gradually becoming scarcer, but we have 

 the assurance of a good crop in a week 

 or two. Brides and Maids are scarce 

 and somewhat poor in quality, while other 

 varieties, such as Beauties, Kaiserins, 

 Rhea Reid, etc., are looking fine. 



Carnations are coming better right 

 along. The flowers are fine, but it is 

 diflScult to get the stems as long as our 

 customers would like them. Enchantress, 

 Lawson and red still predominate, but 

 white are scarce, and naturally there is a 

 big demand for this color. 



Asters are a thing of the past for 1908. 

 In fact, all outdoor stock is over with, 

 as our first frost of the season visited 

 this section of the state on the night 

 of October 1. Longiflorums, as usual, sell 

 well, and are just the~ thing for the fall 

 weddings. Callas are co«imencing to put 

 in their appearance ag^in, but as yet 

 the supply is limited. The chrysanthe- 

 mum crops look most promising. The 

 weather during the week was cool. 



Various Notes. 



Everybody is busy making geranium 

 cuttings now. 



Mr. Bradford, of the Springfield Flo- 

 ral Co., of Springfield, O., was a visitor 

 last week. 



Clifford Pruner, from E. H. Hunt 's, of 

 Chicago, is making his rounds among the 

 Dayton florists this week. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held its 

 monthly meeting at J. F. Young's store, 

 on East Fifth street, October 5.

The Market 



Business during the last week has 

 been good. The different store openings 

 used a large quantity of plants and flow- 

 ers and kept all the store men hustling. 

 Frost has cut off all outdoor stuff. A 

 few early mums are to be seen in the 

 store windows and serve as a reminder 

 that the queen of autumn will soon hold 

 fuU sway. 



Various Notes. 



Fred W. Gust, formerly with W. K. 

 Partridge, of Cincinnati, and recently 

 with Mrs. E. A. Williams, of Pittsburg, 

 has taken a position with A. Wiegand & 

 Sons. 



Frank Benson, of Newport, Ky., has 

 opened a store on Massachusetts avenue. 

 He has located in a good place and 

 should make a success of his venture. 



S. 



Fairbury, III. — Pittman & King have 

 been notified that they have been granted 

 a patent on their new carnation support. 



Ashland, Ky. — Wm. H. Carp has 

 moved into his new residence, on Win- 

 chester avenue, near Thirty-second street.
