The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Februabt 15, 1912. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



While the month of February started 

 in well, still it could have been better 

 and we should still have had stock 

 left over. The weather has been so 

 extremely cold that it seems the florist 

 is only in business for the benefit of 

 the coal man. Funeral work is the only 

 real live wire in the florists' business 

 at present, and the demand along this 

 line is somewhat spasmodic. Boses in 

 general seem to be the scarce article 

 and, of course, they are the one thing 

 for which the demand runs highest. 

 Carnations are in full crop and sell 

 quite satisfactorily. The lily supply is 

 ample to keep up with the trade. Bulb- 

 otw stock of all seasonable varieties 

 is most plentiful and could easily stand 

 an increase in demand. The fore part 

 of last week business was rather slow, 

 but a decided increase was noticed dur- 

 ing the last few days. 



Florists report booking some good 

 orders for St. Valentine's day, the 

 greatest demand running in red carna- 

 tions and all choice roses; also corsage 

 bouquets of violets, valley, orchids and 

 sweet peas. 



Various Notes. 



The week commencing February 12 

 is automobile show week in Dayton. 

 It is also a good week for the florists, 

 as many palms and ferns, as well as 

 cut flowers, are being u^ed for this 

 occasion. 



The latest addition to the down-town 

 store of the Heiss Co. is an elaborate 

 cash register. 



Miss Amy Ewing is still seriously ill 

 at her home with typhoid fever. Lit- 

 tle change is noted in her condition. 



I am glad to report that Mrs. Eliza- 

 beth Young, who has been quite ill 

 since the holidays, is able to leave her 

 room, although she will be confined to 

 the house for several weeks more. 



Recent visitors have been: D. Rus- 

 coni, of Cincinnati; Aug. Rolker, New 

 York city; Edwin J. Fancourt, of Pen-
