The Weekly Rorists' Review.

DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



True it is that ofttimes "a bad 

 beginning makes a good ending," and 

 such was the case with last month's 

 business. After the rush of the New 

 Year's trade, the rustle of business 

 Bunk to a lull, and, practically speaking, 

 there was "nothin' doin* " for three 

 weeks. During this time stock of all 

 kinds was ample to meet any kind of 

 a demand, with a little left over for 

 the ash barrel. These conditions pre- 

 vailed up to last week, when business 

 took a spurt. Stock of all kinds was 

 in° good demand, but carnations and 

 roses were a little scarce. There is an 

 abundant supply of lilies, which are 

 easily disposed of. Besides these, one 

 sees some fine callas and Melpomene 

 on the market. In bulbous stock we 

 have Eoman and Dutch hyacinths, yel- 

 low and white narcissi, double and 

 single daffodils, tulips, etc., all of fine 

 quality. Then the violets, sweet peas 

 and valley are abundant. Smilax is 

 fine and in good supply, but Asparagus 

 plumosus and Sprengeri are somewhat 

 short. The demand for red roses keeps 

 up well and the Beauty supply is scant. 

 There was a good demand for carna- 

 tions on McKinley day. Aside from 

 cut flower orders, the funeral work de- 

 mand has been chiefly responsible for 

 the rushed condition of trade. 



Various Notes. 



L. A. Thomas, of Troy, O., tells us 

 he is getting some big cuts on carna- 

 tions and also reports business in Troy 

 to be excellent. 



Henry Ehrhardt, of Sidney, 0., was 

 in town January 28 and says that 

 everything in the way of trade is quite 

 gratifying with him. 



During the last ten days the Miami 

 Floral Go. has been . doing a ' ' house- 

 cleaning ' ' business ; that is to say, noth- 

 ing is left over from one day to an- 

 other. They have been sending big 

 shipments of giganteum to Chicago, St. 

 Louis, Cleveland and Cincinnati. 



We regret to report that Miss Amy 

 Ewing is seriously ill with typhoid 

 fever. 



Mrs. E. Young is gaining strength 

 daily, although she is still confined to 

 her room. 



Becent visitors have been J. J. Goudy, 

 from Henry A. Dreer's, Philadelphia; 

 I. Eosnosky, of Henry F. Michel! Co.,

 delsky, Philadelphia; Sam Seligman,

 heather.

ST. NICHOLAS 



We recommend St. Nicholas as an all season scarlet carnation. 



Not only is it grand at Xmas time, but it is fine in October and 

 June. 



You need only one variety in scarlet, if you will grow St. Nicholas. 



Wherever we have shown it, it has always been conceded to be 

 the best scarlet on show. 



Visitors at our place invariably substantiate this claim. 



What more can we do to convince you that St. Nicholas is the 

 finest scarlet in sight ? 



We are booked up to late February. Send in your order now, for 

 late February or early March.
