The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



July 29, 1900. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



.The Market. 



Business in the last two weeks has 

 gradually dropped off, until it has settled 

 down into the same old, rut where it gets 

 every summer. There is practically noth- 

 ing doing to create a demand for flow- 

 ers. Carnations are gradually becoming 

 scarcer each day, while asters are com- 

 ing in as a substitute. Roses are still 

 hanging out, in spite of the hot weather, 

 but the quality is nothing to "crow 

 over. ' ' The demand for lily of the valley 

 has ceased and the growers therefore 

 will not force them for a spell. Gigan- 

 teums still hold -their own and are about 

 the only desirable flowers on the market. 

 The weather last week was a little cooler, 

 with an abundance of rain, for which all 

 florists are thankful. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Dayton Florists ' Club will be held at 

 the J. F. Young establishment, 37 East 

 Fifth street, August 2. At this meeting 

 the florists will complete their arrange- 

 ments in regard to attending the con- 

 vention.

The Buseck Floral Co. has been or- 

 ganized, with a capital jgtock of $25,000.

 business in the east, will be the manager.

The company has not yet secured a site, 

 but has options on several pieces of land, 

 one near Raleigh Springs. It is planned 

 to build modern greenhouses and also to 

 open one of the finest flower stores in 

 the south as soon as a suitable location 

 can be found. Manager Buseck has se- 

 cured reservation for space for a display 

 at the Tri-State Fair.
