Bride, Maid and Killarney brought as 

 high as $4 to $5 per dozen. But few 

 complaints were made; stock seemed to 

 be satisfactory and business so good that 

 "kicking" was out of the question. 



Carnations, valley, violets, Komans and 

 Paper Whites sold remarkably well; in 

 fact, everything that resembled a flower. 

 Callas came in handy to make up the 

 funeral orders, which came in to help 

 keep up the riish of business. There 

 was also a big demand for poinsettias, 

 which also brought a good, stiff price. 

 Holly, mistletoe and all Christmas greens 

 were disposed of. The Christmas busi- 

 ness started up Wednesday morning and 

 kept up until after Christmas. Stock at 

 the present time disappears as rapidly as 

 it is cut. 



Christmas Weather. 



The weather was ideal for Christmas. 

 Folks who were wishing for a white 

 Christmas appeared disappointed until 

 late Friday evening, when Dame Na- 

 ture visited us with a quiet snow storm, 

 which kept up steadily during the night. 

 Christmas morning old Mother Earth was 

 covered with a feathery blanket about 

 six inches in depth, making a most beau- 

 tiful and, according to reports, a merry 

 Christmas for all. Since then we have 

 had several snow storms, which have ren- 

 dered it fine for sleighing in Dayton, a 

 treat that Daytonians seldom get. 



Vtfloaa Notn. 

 On account of its being New Year's 



week the Florists' Club will not hold its 

 regular monthly meeting until the second 

 Monday in January. 



The Miami Floral Co. says that it had 

 never witnessed such an excellent Christ- 

 mas trade as it did this year. People were 

 seemingly easier to satisfy and no one 

 was complaining. Trade with this com- 

 pany, as with other florists, made up for 

 the dull season which was experienced be- 

 fore Christmas. The only complaint was 

 the tired feeling caused by the continuous 

 rush from early dawn till late at night. 

 The Miami Floral Co. grew about 10,000 

 Paper Whites for the Christmas trade, 

 out of which a good profit was realized. 



M. Anderson says that he cannot help 

 but feel satisfied with his trade through 

 the holidays. 



M. & L. Johnson report this year's 

 Christmas trade far ahead of last year. 

 Miss Minnie Johnson, who has been con- 

 fined to her home for several months on 

 account of sickness, was able to be at the 

 store one day last week to help out, but 

 it did not prove to be the best thing for 

 her. 



The Dayton Floral Co. feels perfectly 

 satisfied that Christmas business this year 

 was the best ever. The firm finds the de- 

 mand for fancy baskets of plants in- 

 creasing each year, as they did a big 

 business along this line, not having 

 enough to meet the demand. They also 

 realized a good profit on Christmas 

 greens, having sold 1,800 pounds of lyco- 

 podium. An unfortunate thing occurred
