G>adition of Btuiness. ' 



In Toledo tbe season so far has shown 

 great improvepient'over last year. Every 

 florist has abpijt all he can attend to, and 

 not only have jthe decorations been heav- 

 ier, but the 'coiinter sales are larger 

 than those of a year ago. Sweet peas, 

 violets and chrysanthemums are in great 

 demand, and the best sellers, although 

 many of the florists depending on foreign 

 violets have been inconvenienced by poor 

 service. The Thanksgiving shipments, 

 which arrived late for the trade, were not 

 in the best condition. 



Various Notes. 



The florists donated liberally for the 

 opening of the beautiful Y. W. C. A. 

 building. Miss Helen Patten was chair- 

 man of the decorating committee. 



The Youngstown Floral Co. has dis- 

 solved partnership. Mr. Spanner is now 

 the owner. Will Feniger having gone t6 

 Chicago. 



Mrs. E. Suder reports an exceptional 

 business. She had the decorations of 

 the Transportation Club banquet, the 

 Knights of Columbus, the Chamber of 

 Commerce, and will have the Elks' Me- 

 morial. 



Howard Anderson, of the city green- 

 house, is recovering from a severe case 

 of erysipelas. 



Flower growers in Toledo have estab- 

 lished the custom of displaying their 

 products during each meeting of their as- 

 sociation, the best variety to receive a 

 prize. At the last meeting, held at' the 

 salesroom of S. N. Peck, E. A. Kuhnke 

 carried off first honors for having the
