ThcWeekly Florists' Review. 



JANOABT 11, 1912. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



, The first genuine evidence of winter 

 was quite visible last week, when the 

 mercury for the first time this season 

 took a sudden drop below zero. The 

 drop was accompanied by high winds, 

 which kept all hands busy with the 

 coal shovel. The temperature continued 

 below the zero mark for several days, 

 but most of the time there was plenty 

 of sunshine, which has done wonders 

 to stock already; for during the last 

 five or six weeks of continued dull 

 weather everything has been seemingly 

 at a standstill. Since the holiday trade, 

 business has dropped off considerably, 

 and as far as orders are concerned, 

 the florist is not overtaxed with them. 

 Stock is especially fine and, while as 

 yet the supply is limited, there is plenty 

 of all kinds to meet the demands. Be- 

 sides roses and carnations, there is a 

 good line of bulbous stock on the 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 Chicago, was in town last week. 



Elmer Jenkins, one of our suburban 

 florists, was in town last week. He tells 

 us that he has a fine line of bulbous 

 stock coming on for the early spring 

 trade. 



Nick Mety, who a few years ago was 

 engaged in the florists' business in 

 North Dayton, has torn his place down 

 and is selling the material. Since Mr. 

 Mety left Dayton his place was run by 

 the Furst Floral Co., which recently 

 moved into its own quarters. 



I am glad to report that Mrs. Eliza- 

 beth Young's condition is not quite so 

 serious as at first thought, although she 

 will be confined to her home for about 

 six weeks. 



During the cold snap of a few days 

 ago the Heiss Co. was unfortunate in 

 having part of a bench of Bostons 

 frozen. 



Harry Smith, of Piqua, 0., chose the 

 worst day in winter to come to Dayton 

 to make a few friendly calls on his 

 brother florists. K. A. L. 



Bloomington, 111. — John E. Gee has 

 purchased the greenhouses which for 

 nearly forty years were owned and con- 

 ducted by J. D. Eobinson, and which 

 are located on South Robinson street. 

 Mr. Gee has been connected with the 

 establishment for thirty-six years and 

 has been manager for several years. 

 Mr. Robinson will devote his time to 

 his banking interests and other business.
