DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade* 



Decoration day, without a doubt, was 

 the busiest it has been in many years. 

 There seemed to be no end to orders, 

 many of which had to be turned down, 

 though there was a good supply of stock, 

 much more than came in last year. Each 

 morning, as the bright sun arose, he 

 found the florist busy, cutting, shipping, 

 filling orders, etc., and as his last beam 

 sunk in the horizon he left behind him a 

 tired florist, still busy at work. But it is 

 all over now, and a sigh of relief is heard 

 from all quarters. 



A few peonies came in at the last min- 

 ute and helped out considerably, but they 

 were not nearly as good in quality as 

 last year. Anything resembling a carna- 

 tion or rose sold at a good price. There 

 was also a good crop of callas and longi- 

 florums, which sold remarkably well. 

 Sprengeri, plumosus, smilax, ferns and 

 all green goods found ready buyers. It 

 was rather diflScult to get good ferns, as 

 the new crop came in soft and small. 

 The florists were also disappointed in not 

 getting any jasmine, which in other years 

 has helped out so well in bouquets. Be- 

 sides the Decoration day orders, there 

 were several large funerals in town, 

 which brought in lots of work. 



The month of May was a very satis- 

 factory month for business. The sale of 

 plants ran fax ahead of last year, and 

 the same held true with cut flowers. 

 Crops were good and stock held out well. 

 There was an abundance of rain, plenty 

 of high winds, and enough sunshine 

 thrown in to make the weather in gen- 



eral quite agreeable. The heavy rains 

 did some damage to the market gardeners 

 who had crops planted in the low pl&ces; 

 otherwise market products look promis- 

 ing. 



Various Note*. 



The Dayton Florists' Club will hold its 

 regular monthly meeting at the establish- 

 ment of J. F. Young, East Fifth street, 

 June 7. The entertainment committee is 

 arranging an interesting program for the 

 meeting. 



"Never before have we had such a 

 rush of business as we had for this Deco- 

 ration day, ' ' is the report of the Miami 

 Floral Co. "Flowers of all descriptions 

 ' sold rapidly and it was not hard to get 

 your own price." 



H. H. Eitter also reports that business 

 was the best with him that it has been 

 for several years, and that bouquet or- 

 ders with him were especially heavy. 



The Dayton Floral Co. received several 

 large shipments of peonies from the 

 south, which, owing to a scarcity of 

 peonies in the market, found eager buy- 

 ers. 



Together with Decoration day orders, 

 Mrs. B. Hendrichs had a large run on 

 funeral work last week. 



Henry Ehrhard, of Sidney, 0., made a 

 hurried trip to Dayton early Sunday 

 morning, in quest of stock. He reported 

 that business was especially good in 

 Sidney.

 Springfield, O., was in the city on busi-
