The Market. 



Business has been exceptionally good 

 in the last few weeks. Thus far the 

 presence of Lent has not been felt a 

 great deal, due to the fact that, while 

 parties and weddings are fewer, the 

 demand for funeral designs and flowers 

 for" the sick keeps up wonderfully. 

 There is a good demaud for pot plants 

 as well as cut flowers. The weather in 

 the last two weeks lias been mild and 

 bright, producing a good effect on 

 stock and making things look promis- 

 ing for Easter, besides cutting down 

 the fuel expenditure. White carna- 

 tions will be at a premium for St. 

 Patrick's day, as many large orders are 

 already being booked. Stock of other 

 kinds is in good supply and capable of 

 meeting all demands. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held its 

 monthly meeting March 5, at the estab- 

 lishment of J. F. Young, on East Fifth 

 street. Many important subjects were 

 discussed and it was decided to change 

 the place of meeting to the Greater 

 Dayton assembly rooms, where a lunch 

 can be served at each meeting. The 

 annual election of officers will take 

 place at the April meeting and the lady 

 florists will take charge of the luncheon. 



The Heiss Co. .gives an encouraging 

 report on the general condition of busi- 

 ness. The firm's greenhouse stock is 

 in a flourishing condition, furnishing 

 an ample supply to meet the retail store 

 demands. Their violets are exception- 

 allv fine. 



Miss Olive Ritter states that business 

 with her has been excellent. 



M. Anderson spent a few days last 

 week in Cincinnati, where he went to 

 take care of some business deals. 



D. BuBConi and his son spent the lat- 

 ter part of last week in this city. 



Joseph I. Schaeffer says that his new 

 cyclamen house is about ready for use. 

 The bad storms in this section have 

 greatly delayed the freights; conse- 

 quently he. has been unable to get his

glass. The house will be used tempo- 

 rarily for his Easter bulbous stock. He 

 reports a fine crop of sweet peas just 

 coming into bloom. 



Miss Katheryne Young states that 

 thus far Lent h^as had no effect on busi- 

 ness,' which continues to be most satis- 

 factory. 



The Dayton Floral Co. has a big deco- 

 ration booked for St. Patrick's day, in 

 which several hundred green carnations 

 are to be used, besides a great quantity 

 of southern smilax and palms. They, 

 too, report a good trade. 



March 16 is to be spring opening day 

 in Dayton, and all the florists, as well 

 as other tradespeople, are to take part. 

 Window displays are to be the chief 

 feature and the florists are planning 

 big things in the way of decorating 

 their own places and those of other 

 merchants. 



The Easter stock at George Bartholo- 

 mew's place looks promising. Business, 

 he says, has been highly encouraging. 



A few Dayton florists, together with 

 other merchants, are said to have been 

 badly taken in by a supposedly ex- 

 tremely wealthy foreigner, who goes by 

 the name of Captain .Tansen. During 

 his stay in the city he lived in the 

 height of fashion and elaborately enter- 

 tained the elite. Then, it is said, he 

 mysteriously disappeared, leaving his 

 creditors to mourn his departure. It 

 has since been reported that he has 

 tried these stunts in different cities, 

 always using the same name. 



The Miami Floral Co. is trying the 

 special sale stunt for the Lenten sea- 

 son. Their first attempt was a carna- 

 tion sale for Saturday, March 7. 



Mrs. L. D. Johnson reports a fine 

 business, both in plants and funeral 

 work. Last week she had a good order

for a funeral design, in the form of a 

 large floral urn, which made a hand-
