The Weekly Florists^ Review; 



Mat 27, 1009. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



' ' We 're just rushed to death ' ' is the 

 cry that comes from every direction. This 

 kind of an expression is always expected 

 at this time of the year. Orders of all 

 sizes are rolling in, and it is a positive 

 fact that there will not be enough stock 

 in the market to meet the demand. 



Carnations, without a doubt, are fine 

 and in good crop, and orders for them 

 are coming in heavily, much in excess of 

 the supply. Roses, for the season of the 

 year, could not be better. A faint tinge 

 of pink is noticed in the Brides. Maids 

 are a good color and Kaiserins are first- 

 class. Orders for roses are as heavy as 

 carnation orders. 



There will be a good supply of callas 

 and longiflorums on the market for Dec- 

 oration day. Much to the florists ' regret, 

 there will be no home-grown peonies. 

 Prom the present outlook, the condition 

 of business for Decoration day will be 

 an improvement over last year. 



Various Notes. 



Present and past experience haff proven 

 to the Miami Floral Co. that its plant is 

 not of sufiicient size to accommodate its 

 trade, which increases steadily. The com- 

 pany intends, therefore, to build a large 

 addition to its plant next fall. The out- 

 door planting was finished May 18, and 

 there are 100,000 healthy-looking carna- 

 tion plants out. The weather has been 

 most favorable for the stock. 



The Da;yton Floral Co. reports having 

 just received three shipments of palms 

 from Belgium, and all arrived in splendid 

 condition. They also report that they 

 are "just up to their necks" in Decora- 

 tion day orders, and that business in all 

 lines is especially good. 



Miss Ruby Bartholomew spent a most 

 enjoyable day May 23 visiting friends in 

 Richmond, Ind. 



H. H. Ritter reports the plant business 

 the best it has been in several years. He 

 has a force busy planting out the roof 

 garden on the Algonquin hotel. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young, M. & L. John- 

 son and the Heiss Co. were busily 

 employed all day last Sunday, making up 

 floral designs, 



Henry Ehrhart, of Sidney, O., and 

 Wm. F. Frisch, of Piqua, 0., were visitors 

 May 23. R. A. B. 



Atlanta, Ga. — Beginning wiW the 

 first signs, of spring, the Ponce De Leon 

 Floral Co. had a force of men engaged 

 in preparing the Ponce De Leon amuse- 

 ment park for the opening of the sea- 

 son's entertainments.
