The Market. 



Much as it would please us to give 

 a glowing report on business, it is im- 

 possible to do so. The same old story 

 is again revealed, with the same condi- 

 tion of trade we experience every year 

 during the midsummer months. As soon 

 as stock gets a little scarce, trade seem- 

 ingly brightens up and the demand gets 

 larger than the supply; then the florist 

 thinks the spell has broken, but as soon 

 as stock comes in more plentifully trade 

 drops back into the same old rut. Every- 

 body seems to be away on vacation and 

 there is nothing doing to create a de- 

 mand for flowers, except an occasional 

 funeral. A new crop of Beauty, to- 

 gether with Killarney, Bride, Kaiserin, 

 Bridesmaid and a few Eichmond, make 

 up the assortment of roses which is ob- 

 tainable at present. Select stock seems 

 a little scarce, consequently it is not 

 difficult to dispose of it. New carna- 

 tions, the Enchantress and red, are com- 

 ing in now. They are not plentiful and 

 the demand readily consumes the supply. 

 Only a few giganteums are on the mar- 

 ket, while gladioli are plentiful and 

 cheap. 



Heavy rains which fell in this sec- 

 tion August 12 to 14 were much needed, 

 for all outdoor vegetation was commenc- 

 ing to suffer for want of water. Ever 

 since the rain the weather has been ideal 

 and things have taken on new life. 

 Outdoor asters have not done as well 

 this year as they might and it is sur- 

 prising to note how poorly the majority 

 of the geraniums look, while other bed- 

 ding plants, such as cannas, verbenas, 



petunias, salvias, etc., look fine. The 

 farmers report an extra heavy crop of 

 corn and other farm products this year. 

 There is also a large crop of tomatoes, 

 but with no market whatsoever. At the 

 present it is impossible to realize more 

 than 25 cents per bushel for them, and 

 in many cases the gardener will sacrifice 



iraiVERY now and then a well- 

 ILSI pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

Various Notes. 

 Those of the Dayton florists who at- 



tended the convention at Cincinnati were: 

 George W. Bartholomew, H. H. Ritter, 

 John F. Young, Warren G. Matthews, 

 Walter Matthews, E. E. Schaefer, John 

 Boehner, Joseph Furst, Horace Frank, 

 Mrs. Elizabeth Young and Mrs. Bertha 

 Hendrichs. They all report a most en- 

 joyable time. 



Arno Hendrichs left last week for an 

 extensive trip, taking in Cleveland, De- 

 troit, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, 

 Montreal, from there down the St. Law- 

 rence river to New York city, returning 

 by way of Philadelphia. 



Wm. Kiefaber, secretary of Miami 

 Floral Co., and his wife, have just re- 

 turned from an enjoyable trip to At- 

 lantic City, N. J., New York city and 

 other eastern points. 



Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook, of New Or- 

 leans, La., spent several days in this city 

 as the guests of Mrs. B. Hendrichs, and 

 from here went on to the S. A. F. con- 

 vention. Mr. Cook reports the florists' 

 business in New Orleans as somewhat 

 quiet. 



Herbert Bartholomew and Roy Tice 

 enjoyed an outing at Sandusky, O., and 

 Cedar Point August 15. 



Henry Miene, recently employed by 

 the Miami Floral Co., has taken a posi- 

 tion at Reeveston, in Richmond, Ind. 



Mrs. B. H. Duvall, of Chicago, who 

 has been a guest at the home of Mr. 

 and Mrs. George W. Bartholomew for 

 three weeks, returned to her home Au- 

 gust 19. 



The Miami Floral Co. has been cut- 

 ting new carnations for the last two 

 weeks. The stock is good and it finds 

 the market encouraging.
