TheMaricet. 



Although we have been having snow in 

 this vicinity since December, still we 

 were treated on Thursday, January 13, 

 to the most severe blizzard known since 

 the year 1888. Consequently, local busi- 

 ness was practically at a standstill. The 

 only thing that kept the retailers awake 

 was funeral work. A few large funerals 

 helped to keep things moving. With this 

 inactivity, stock at times was left on the 

 hands of the wholesalers. 



During the storm, stock came in at ir- 

 regular times. Then followed numerous 

 complaints of shipments arriving from 

 twelve to thirty-six hours late. The 

 mails, too, containing orders, have been 

 coming in all the way from one to two 

 days behind time. So, all in all, it was a 

 most unsatisfactory week. Prices ran 

 down to where the growers undoubtedly 

 will say: ''Can't even pay the coal bill." 

 Freight traffic, on the whole, has been at 

 a standstill for some time, and it was not 

 till Sunday that a fair start had been 

 made. E. O. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Club Meeting. 



The January meeting of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club was held January 10, 

 in the potting sheds of the Highland 

 Floral Co., Kriegbaum & Campbell, the 

 proprietors, being hosts for the occasion. 

 Tables and board seats had been pro- 

 vided, the former covered with clean 

 white paper; gasoline lamps were sus- 

 pended from the ceiling, and an ample 

 supply of packing boxes sufficed for 

 lounging chairs, while long rows of

potted plants, supplied by Schmidt & 

 Botley, obscured the benches and gave a 

 flowery grace to the occasion. 



An odor of sauerkraut and Wiener- 

 wurst pervaded the atmosphere, and at 

 seven o'clock the assembled members and 

 guests attacked a menu which would 

 satisfy the appetite of a florist of almost 

 any nationality. At the conclusion of 

 the repast, stogies were distributed and 

 in a short time every greenfly about the 

 place thought it about time for any kind 

 of a fly to escape. 



In the absence of both president and 

 vice-president, the meeting was called to 

 order by the secretary, Carl Glenn, who 

 introduced ex-President Geo. H. Mellen as 

 toastmaster, by whom the subject of the 

 evening was announced as being "Any- 

 thing and Everything of Interest to the 

 Local Retailer." Mr. Mellen introduced 

 the subject in a few well chosen remarks 

 and then called on a majority of those 

 present, beginning with the local retail 

 men. 



Clinton L. Eeese spoke of the room 

 for improvement in local trade conditions 

 and referred to the matter of depart- 

 ment store sales.
