The Market. 



Stock of all kinds has become much 

 more plentiful since last report. The 

 chrysanthemums were all in bud and a 

 few days of bright weather has fairly 

 flooded the market with them. Boses are 

 also plentiful. The only really scarce 

 flower is the light-colored carnation. 

 Business in general is up to the average 

 of other years, and November gives prom- 

 ise of being a good month for the florists. 

 A number of receptions and several big 

 weddings are booked for this month. 



The growers are complaining that the 

 mums are not bringing so good prices as 

 last year, this fact probably being due 

 to the sudden flooding of the market. 



The violet season has opened up nicely. 



Varioui Notes. 



J. F. Sullivan has been spending a 

 week in the violet district on the Hudson, 

 ard the fine violets seen in his new show 

 window go to prove that Mr. Sullivan 

 has struck it rich. 



There was one proud and happy young 

 man at Breitmeyer's Saturday, October 

 23, this individual being John Klang, for 



he became papa, of a baby boy that 

 morning. 



Fred Pautke is a busy man these days. 

 His hobby seems to be table decorating 

 and just now he is getting lots of prac- 

 tice. H. S. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



Tlie Market 



One could not wish for a better trade 

 than that which the florists have experi- 

 enced in the last two weeks or more. It 

 is surprising to note the way in which 

 business has kept up in the last month 

 or so. Stock has been quite plentiful in 

 all varieties, but the demand for Bride 

 roses, Enchantress and white carnations 

 has been so brisk that it has been impos- 

 sible to keep even with it. The shortage 

 on white flowers has been somewhat re- 

 lieved since the chrysanthemums have 

 come in. In all, October has been an 

 encouraging month to the florists, as 

 there has been a continual demand for 

 funeral work and weather conditions on 

 the whole have been favorable. 



Variout Notes. 



Mrs. Blakesley, of Chicago, returned 

 home October 23, after a pleasant three 

 weeks' visit with her son, Warren G. 

 Matthews. 



The Dayton Floral Co. reports that it 

 is kept busy with several large wedding 

 orders. It has received the contract to 

 furnish the city parks with hyacinth and 

 tulip bulbs. 



The Dayton Florists' Club will hold 

 its regular monthly meeting November

H. H. Bitter reports that business has 

 been most excellent with him the last two 

 weeks, and the same condition still con- 

 tinues. 



George Bird, of Sidney, 0., D. E. 

 Adsit, Jamestown, O., and George M. 

 Garland, of Des Plaines, 111., were vis- 

 itors at the Miami Floral Co. last week. 



Miss Katheryne Young spent several 

 days at Franklin last week. 



Mr. Longren, representing E. H. Hunt, 

 of Chicago, visited our florists October 

 24 and 25. E. A. B. 



Augusta, Me. — George H. Curtis, man- 

 ager of the Augusta Flower Shop, has 

 leased the Sanborn residence on School 

 street and will remove to it in the near 

 future. 



Grand Forks, N. D. — At last this city 

 is to have a greenhouse. N. P. lindberg, 

 of Eugby, N. D., is erecting a house 25x 

 80 feet, for display and sale of potted 

 plants and cut flowers, in connection 

 with his Eugby plant. Mr. Lindberg has 

 made a splendid success of his business 

 at Eugby and will no doubt find his new 

 venture profitable.
