The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 21, 1000. 



Cyclamen Giganteum 



sturdy plants, once transplanted and ready to go into 3-inch pots. This is as fine a strain as 

 can be found in the country — the result of buying the best seed we could find and eight years of 

 careful selection of vigorous plants as seed bearers. 



We recommend these especially to western growers who need strong young plants for next 

 Christmas. 



Separate colors, pink, red, white and white with carmine eye. 



$4.00 per 100; $30.00 per lOOO. 



Cash with order or satisfactory references before opening account.

Trade Conditions. 



Business could be a great deal better 

 than it is, but still, it is better than 

 it was last year at this time. A good 

 quantity of stock keeps on the move, but 

 still there is plenty of it. Prices have 

 dropped a little, but at the same time 

 first-class stock brings a first-class price. 

 With plenty of good stock, it is not a 

 difficult matter to satisfy the customer. 

 January weddings and receptions have 

 been numerous. Funeral work, also, has 

 been plentiful. 



The weather last week included some 

 of nearly every kind — rain, sleet, snow, 

 zero and thawing, but no sunshine. The 

 weather throughout last month was dull, 

 with a bad effect on the roses. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held its 

 first annual banquet at the Phillips 

 house, January 11. Nearly all members 

 of the club, with their wives, were pres- 

 ent. The entire arrangements, as here- 

 tofore stated, were made by the ladies, 

 and everything was carried out to per- 

 fection. The menu, which was daintily 

 selected, and served with the accompani- 

 ment of harp music, seemed to appeal 

 to the taste of all present. The banquet 

 hall was artistically decorated with 

 palms, smilax and cut flowers. The 

 table decorations were unique and up-to- 

 date. As a souvenir of the occasion, 

 each one present received a handsomely 

 decorated menu. 



Mrs. E. Young, who was at the head 

 of the banquet committee, announced 

 the toasts, and those who responded 

 were: H. H. Ritter, president; Horace 

 Prank, secretary; George Bartholomew, 

 treasurer; I. J. Schaefer, Wm. McNary, 

 E. E. Schaefer and W. J. Engle. 



After the toasts, a short business ses- 

 sion was conducted by the president. 

 All present declared that they had had 

 a most enjoyable time, and expressed the 

 desire that the club would allow the 

 ladies to arrange for all like functions 

 in the future. 



Various Notes. 



Sleighing is the best it has been for 

 years and everyone is taking advantage 

 of it in all ways possible. W. G, Mat- 

 thews has a fine race horse, Opalhal, 

 which Captured the blue ribbon in street 

 racing last week. Mr. Matthews was 

 unable to attend the club meeting, on 

 account of business which called him to 

 Chicago. R. A. B.
