The Florists^ Review 



January 9, 1913. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Last week 's trade was not only satis- 

 factory, but highly encouraging, mak- 

 ing a good week's business to start off 

 the new year; if trade continues 

 throughout the year as it has started, 

 no one will be able to offer much com- 

 plaint. Since Christmas we have not 

 had to contend with the chief Christ- 

 mas diflSculty, the scarcity of stock; 

 on the contrary, flowers have been 

 quite plentiful and of good quality, 

 making it a pleasure to fill orders. In 

 the last ten days we have been favored 

 with a liberal amount of sunshine, 

 which has worked wonders in increas- 

 ing the supply of stock. Carnations, 

 which until a week ago were terribly 

 scarce everywhere, are now quite plen- 

 tiful; the same is true of roses. Now 

 that the holiday season is over, the 

 trade is turning its attention to lilies 

 and there is considerable call for them, 

 but they are scant in supply. 



Various Notes. 



Of interest to the many friends of 

 William Kiefaber, treasurer and gen- 

 eral manager of the Miami Floral Co., 

 will be the marriage of his eldest son, 

 William Kiefaber, Jr., to Miss Dorothy 

 Barnett, which took place in Cincin- 

 nati. The affair was a complete surprise 

 to their friends and relatives. 



The Heiss Co. put up a fine decora- 

 tion at the Dayton Club last week, for 

 the annual dinner of the officers of the 

 Third Eegiment. The firm also had 

 decorations for several large New 

 Year's functions and the first week of 

 the year was an exceedingly busy one. 



George Lampert, of Xenia, O., was 

 in Dayton last week. He gives a glow- 

 ing report of their holiday trade, say- 

 ing it was the best ever. 



J. W. Eodgers spent New Year's day 

 with his family in Monroe, O. 



Mrs. Matthews, of Chicago, the 

 mother of W. G. Matthews, will spend 

 the winter in Dayton with her son. 



The Dayton Floral Co. has been ex- 

 ceptionally busy since the holidays, 

 putting up funeral work. They had a 

 fine trade in corsage bouquets for the 

 New Year's dances and receptions. 



J. J. Grullemans, of Lisse, Holland, 

 Was a visitor last week. 



The Miami Floral Co. is cutting a 

 fine lot of carnations and finds a good 

 demand for them. They speak en- 

 couragingly of the condition of trade. 



Yellow flowers were in heavy de- 

 mand last week, owing to the observ- 

 ance of several golden weddings. 



James W. McNary, of the Dayton & 

 Xenia Nurseries, died at his home in 

 this city December 31. Further partic- 

 ulars are given in this week's obituary 

 column. R. A. L. '

 horticulturist and landscape gardener 

 for the school board, is making elab- 

 orate plans for the improvement of the 

 grounds surrounding the public schools.
