at their plant Thursday, December 23, 

 when all the flues in their largo boiler 

 gave out. Fortunately they had a re- 

 serve boiler, which carried them through 

 the difficulty until the other boiler was 

 repaired. 



Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs gives the same 

 report of last week's trade as do the 

 other florists. "We are glad to report 

 that the poisoning which she had in her 

 face has about left her. 



Mrs. B. Haschke says that the business 

 out her way cleaned up everything she 

 had. 



H. H. Eitter claims that he had the 

 biggest Christmas trade this year that 

 he ever had. He reports having realized 

 a good business on orchids, with no 

 funeral orders to interfere with business. 



John F. Young is on the sick list. The 

 rush of last week's business seems to 

 have been too much for him. 



Louis Schellhaas, of Miamisburg, took 

 a run into Dayton December 27. He, too, 

 reports a fine trade in Miamisburg. 



Henry Ehrhard, of Sidney, and E. G. 

 Hill, of Richmond, Ind., were visitors last 

 week. E. A. B.

Christmas of 1909 undoubtedly came 

 up to all expectations. In fact, most of 

 those who gave opinions stated that ' ' it 

 was a hummer."" Pot plants were a big 

 item; indeed, it seems that in numerous 

 cases pot plants took the preference, no 

 doubt due to their lasting quality and 

 the lower price. There was no com- 

 plaint of a shortage in Beauties, roses, 

 carnations and the like. December 25 

 even found white carnations of good 

 quality, and some of the colored varieties 

 of poor quality, still unsold. Violets, 

 which were equal to the demand, were 

 good property and realized a good price. 



The green goods market, which was 

 well supplied, was cleaned up. Green 

 wreaths, ground pine, etc., were scarce. 

 The first holly that came in was of good 

 quality, but the remainder was of in- 

 ferior grade. In this city the wholesale 

 produce commission men have for the 

 last few years added holly to their 

 Christmas stock, and have worked up

enough trade to make it decidedly felt 

 at the wholesale florists' shops. Poin- 

 settias again proved to be the favorite 

 cut flowers and reigned supreme. Stock, 

 all in all, was of a fine quality. 



Various Notes. 



The Currie Bros. Co. claims that the 

 volume of business this year exceeded 

 that of last year, with an increased call 

 for baskets of mixed plants. "While they 

 expected a limited call for these, they 

 sold like hot cakes and kept them busy 

 trying to keep up with orders. Their 

 nice lot of azaleas was cleaned up in 

 good season. 



Wm. Zimmermann, who only conducts 

 a store, laid in a large supply of pot 

 plants, and he says that, owing to the 

 unfavorable weather, there was not much 

 doing till two days before Christmas, 

 and then business came in a rush and 

 proved to be the best up to date. He 

 simply could not supply the demand for 

 holly wreaths. 



At the store of the Baumgarten Floral 

 Co. the long suit was the poinsettia. They 

 had their windows tastefully decorated
