DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market. 



The mercury in the last ten days has 

 tlropped considerably, from summer heat 

 down to 40 degrees. During the warmer 

 days stock was in full crop, but as the 

 temperature dropped the supply of stock 

 fell ofif. While the warm weather pre- 

 vailed and stock was plentiful, businesj 

 was seemingly quiet and quite a quantity 

 of good stock went to waste, but as the 

 atmosphere got cooler and crops fell off, 

 demand for stock was so brisk that in 

 the last few days it has been impossible 

 to meet in full the wants of the trade. 

 While the cool weather has been a dis 

 advantage in one way, it has been bene- 

 ficial in others. Koses especially have 

 been coming in much better, but while 

 one saves on the ice bill, he loses on the 

 coal. There seems to be a good supply 

 of carnations on the market, which are 

 fine in quality. Lilies are a little scarce 

 just now, as the cool weather has 

 also put them back; lily of the val- 

 ley also is scarce. We have had several 

 light frosts, but none has been heavy 

 enough to do damage. Nevertheless, 

 people are taking in their outdoor plants, 

 so as to be prepared for any calamity 

 that Jack Frost might see fit to place 

 upon them. The market gardeners are 

 bringing in a great many outdoor flow- 

 ers and selling them on the open market 

 at low prices. This is hurtful to the 

 trade, but after a killing frost these con- 

 ditions will be over and the florist will 

 benefit thereby. 



Trade throughout the month of Sep- 

 tember, taking it in general, was quite 

 satisfactory in every respect. Plenty of 

 good stock was obtainable and jrrice.^ 

 were good. It was a marked improve- 

 ment over the business of August, and a 

 steady increase was noticeable, proving 

 to the florist that the lull of summer 

 business is slipping away, and that pros- 

 pects for a good season are most promis- 

 ing. We had little rain during the 

 month, but plenty of sunshine. 



VariotM Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. has realized a 

 fine business on field grown plants this 

 fall. Their roses and carnations are in 

 splendid shape. 



The Dayton Floral Co. has had a busy 

 week in funeral work. They report busi- 

 ness to have been most satisfactory last 

 week and state that the outlook for fall 

 was never better. Mr. Matthews, pro- 

 prietor of the company, believes that
