DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Everybody interested in the florists' 

 business, whether on a large or small 

 basis, gives a satisfactory report of 

 Christmas trade. Prices were high. There 

 were, of course, a good many who woujd 

 not stand the pressure, but on the other 

 hand there were oth^s glad to get the 

 stock at its own price, so everything in 

 sight was disposed of. Eed flowers of 

 every description sold rapidly. The car- 

 nation crop was large, but not any too 

 plentiful. The rose supply did not near- 

 ly meet the demand. Callas and gigan- 

 teums found ready buyers, while orders 

 for valley, violets, narcissi and Komans 

 were generally used in boxes of assorted 

 cut flowers. Poinsettias, azaleas and all 

 blooming plants sold well. Some of the 

 florists expect to cut out holly next sea- 

 son, as there are so many street peddlers 

 that it is useless for the florist to han- 

 dle it. 



Taking it on the whole, everyone felt 

 more than satisfied with last week's 

 trade, which was better than that of 

 1907. 



Business since Christmas has kept up 

 well and we are inclined to believe that 

 from now on trade will be better than it 

 has been previous to the holidays. 



Various Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. had some fine 

 stock for the Christmas trade, but did 

 such a fine business they were obliged to 

 turn down a good many orders. 



Besides Christmas orders, Mrs. Young 

 reports a busy week on funeral work. 



H. H. Eitter says Christmas business 

 this year was far superior to that of last 

 year. 



The State Board of Engineers is caus- 

 ing some of our florists considerable 

 trouble by requiring their firemen to take 

 an engineer's examination, in order to 

 fire a greenhouse boiler. They would be 

 pleased to hear from some of our fellow 

 tradesmen who have had any experience 

 along this line. E. A. B. 



Marblehead, Mass. — Larkin H. Hay- 

 den is installing a new auxiliary boiler 

 at his greenhouses. The foundation is 

 already in for another 90-foot house, 

 which he plans to have ready for use in 

 the early spring.
