Florists' Baskets 



Oar aim is Artistic Baskets; that is what makes them appeal to die- 

 criminating people. Every basket is made by hand, and finished as if our 

 whole reputation depended upon that particular basket. Madison Basketcraft 

 Co. 's baskets are designed for use as well as beauty. They are practical, 

 indestructible, made of willow in odd and artistic shapes, and colored in 

 various delicate tones. Greens, gun metal and browns are the best colors .

Plant A, but still has to team fuel to 

 Plant B. It has kept them busy these 

 zero days. 



Aloys Frey was in from Crown Point 

 December 21. He says there is plenty 

 of work for the smaller growers these 

 days. 



L. H. Thurston, of the Central Mich- 

 igan Nursery, Kalamazoo, was in town 

 last week. The concern has a large retail 

 cut flower business and recently was 

 burned out, losing all its Christmas sup- 

 plies. Mr. Thurston was restocking in 

 this market. D. J. Murphy, of Manistee, 

 was another of last week's visitors. 



Among those met in the market this 

 week were Frank A. Volz, Cincinnati; 

 Andrew Peterson, Hoopeston, 111,; Ed- 

 ward Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis, 



Bowline. 



In the series of games played De- 

 cember 16 the Violets gained one game

 senting the Florists' League in the city

DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market 



We have but a fair report to give on 

 the condition of trade in the last two 

 weeks, as there has not been much doing, 

 either among the wholesalers or the re- 

 tailers. Funeral orders were few and 

 far between. While there was not an 

 overabundance of stock, there was more 

 than enough to supply the demand. 



The Indian summer ended shortly 

 after the beginning of this month, and

since then dull weather has prevailed, 

 with a light fall of snow or rain occa- 

 sionally. Dayton, as yet, has not had 

 more than a week of winter, and the 

 mercury has not yet reached the zero 

 mark. The dull weather, however, is 

 telling on stock, as the cuts are much 

 reduced. Such seems to be the case gen- 

 erally at holiday times, when there is 

 a great demand. At the same time there 



are plenty of buds, and with a few warni, 

 sunny days to coax them, a great dif- 

 ference in the supply would be floticetl. 

 Scarce as stock may be, the quality 

 could not be better, with the following 

 varieties to select from : Koses of _ a|l 

 kinds, carnations, lilies, valley, narcissi, 

 Komans, violets, poinsettias and all kinds 

 of Christmas greens.
