DAYTON, OHIO. 



Trade Good. 



It would be impossible to give any- 

 thing but a good report of the trade 

 for the last two weeks; business during 

 this period whs the best it has been since 

 the holidays. Dull weather has prevailed 

 throughout the month, and its effects, on 

 the rose crop especially, have been most 

 noticeable. Therefore it was utterly im- 

 possible to meet the demand for roses, 

 while the carnations also fell off to a 

 certain degree; still they were quite 

 plentiful, though not equal to the de- 

 mand. There was an unusual amount 

 of funeral work last week and caJlas and 

 longiflorums were used in abundance, 

 with a good call for Romans, narcissi, 

 jonquils and violets. Taking all things 

 into consideration, business during the 



month of January was encouraging and 

 far better than that of January, 1908. 



The darker shades of carnations sold 

 well for AIcKinley day. The outlook for 

 Si. Valentine 's day is good. Orders are 

 being booked and violets seem to be the 

 most popular flower on this occasion. 



January 29 and 30 one of the fiercest 

 blizzards Dayton has witnessed for a 

 long time swept the city. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 monthly business meeting at the estab- 

 lishment of J. F. Young. 



H. H. Eitter has a large wedding 

 decoration for this week, and has no com- 

 plaint to offer in regard to last week's 

 business. 



The Miami Floral Co. has in the last 

 year been experimenting on cold storage 

 lilies, and has made it a point to have 

 thom all the vear around. This has been 



The 

 grow 



found to be a paying proposition, 

 company finds it does not pay to 

 Harrisii and has cut them out, on ac- 

 count of so many of the bulbs being dis- 

 eased. 



H. D. Eohrer, of Lancaster, Pa., was 

 a visitor January 18. From here Mr. 

 Rohrer went to Richmond and New 

 Castle, and thence to the carnation show 

 at Indianapolis. 



The Dayton Floral Co. reports that 

 during the last ten days business has 

 been most satisfactory, having in that 

 time used 20,000 carnations alone. Some 

 elaborate floral designs were put up. 



James Wolf, formerly of the Wolf 

 Ventilating Co., of this city, was brutal- 

 ly murdered on the night of January 24, 

 at Columbus, O. Mr. Wolf, having 

 severed his connections here a few years 

 ago, went to Columbus to accept a posi- 

 tion in a nut and bolt factory. Some 

 time ago he caught his arm in the ma- 

 chinery, which resulted in the loss of his 

 fingers. After this the company gave 

 him the position as night watchman, 

 which position he held until the time he 

 was murdered, for the small sum in his 

 pocket. While interested in the Venti- 

 lator factory Mr. Wolf traveled through 

 the country putting up the machines, and 

 was liked by all in the trade. 



A number of Dayton florists have been 

 bumped by what we term a hobo florist, 

 who gives his name as Fred Herzog. He 

 is of German descent, medium build and 

 has a heavy mustache. He tells a heart- 

 rending tale of hard luck and has ap- 

 pealed to several of our local florists for 

 work, and in many cases it has been 

 given him. He keeps his position for a 

 short time and appears to be an honest 

 man; but at a time when he has a good 

 opportunity to get the best of his em- 

 ployer financially he disappears and is 

 not seen afterwards. We have since 

 heard that he has been to other towns 

 and carried on the same kind of busi- 

 ness, so it is cur wish to warn our fellow 

 tradesmen to beware of him. 



We have had plenty of chances to buy 

 things lately. Among the visitors were: 

 Mr. Lembke, with W. W. Barnard Co., 

 Chicago; Geo. W. Cohen, with Wert- 

 heimer Bros., New York; A. Eolker, 

 New York; Chas. F. Meyer, New York; 

 C. F. Harrison, with the Pulverized
