The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Fbbbuabx 22, 1912. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Valentine's day meant much for last 

 week's trade, which was beyond a 

 doubt quite satisfactory to all. Then, 

 too, it was a busy week with funeral 

 work, 80 that the two combined kept 

 the florists on the jump most of the 

 time. It was quite frequently remarked 

 that the rush that accompanied Valen- 

 tine's day reminded one of when the 

 holiday season was approaching, as 

 there was a decided increase in the 

 trade over that of preceding years. 

 Evidently flowers are increasing in 

 popularity for valentines. It was an 

 impossibility to keep up with the de- 

 mand for red roses and violets, while 

 red carnations, which were more plenti- 

 ful, did not go begging either. Lilies 

 of the valley were also favorites, and 

 in fact cut flowers of all kinds sold 

 out well. Azaleas, too, brought good 

 prices. 



The rose crop is still shy and the de- 

 mand excessive; these conditions, how- 

 ever, will not hold out much longer, as 

 the weather of last week was bright 

 and warm. Carnations are sufficient 

 to meet all requirements, lilies also. 

 Both helped out well last week in filling 

 funeral orders. Bulbous stock of all 

 kinds cleans up remarkably, even 

 though the supply is heavy. 



The weather has moderated consider- 

 ably, thus giving the growers a chance 

 to get in a fresh supply of hyacinths 

 and daffodils. Another good boost to 

 local trade last week was the automo- 

 bile show, which continued throughout 

 the entire week, bringing a call for 

 large quantities of cut flowers, besides 

 decorative plants and greens. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Huston, shipping clerk for the 

 Miami Floral Co., is back on duty 

 again after an illness of three weeks. 



Miss Amy Ewing is speedily recov- 

 ering from her recent illness of typhoid 

 fever. 



The Miami Floral Co. is cutting large 

 quantities of good carnations, on which 

 they report good sales. They are also 

 shipping lots of carnation cuttings.
