The Florists' Rcvkw 



JANUABT 16, 1913. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



A general air of satisfaction seems 

 to prevail among our local florists, and 

 business continues to be most encour- 

 aging. There are plenty of parties, 

 dances and receptions to keep the pot 

 plants and the choicer grades of cut 

 flowers on the move, while the brisk 

 demand for funeral work uses up the 

 shorter grades of stock. Both roses and 

 carnations are abundant. Bulbous 

 stock, such as hyacinths, narcissi and 

 daffodils, is daily becoming more plen- 

 tiful. Easter lilies are still shy, and 

 hard to get at any cost, while callas are 

 more plentiful. There is a good call 

 for azaleas, which are equal to the 

 demand. Smilax and asparagus are 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. sent several 

 large designs and corsage bouquets to 

 €olumbus for the inauguration of Gov- 

 ernor Cox. 



H. H. Bitter is confined to his home 

 by illness. 



J. W. Rodgers was called to Cin- 

 cinnati on business last week. 



One of the prettiest house decora- 

 tions of the season was that done by 

 W. G. Matthews for a reception at the 

 Peter Kuntz residence last week. Three 

 different color schemes were worked 

 out in the different rooms; one was red, 

 another green and white and the other 

 pink and white. 



The 12-week-old son of Mr. and Mrs. 

 E. E. Schaefer has been seriously ill for 

 several weeks, but is reported to be 

 improving. 



Last week ended with unpleasant 

 weather and lots of rain, which brought 

 on high water. The boiler pits of the 

 Dayton Floral Co. were flooded, as their 

 plant is located along the river, a^d it 

 was necessary to keep a pump working 

 in order to keep their fires in. 



Leo Asher is again on the sick list. 



Arthur Schmidt is just recovering 

 from a severe attack of the grip. 



Jos. I. Schaefer has some exception- 

 ally fine specimen plants of Primula 

 malacoides, for which he finds a good 

 sale. 



Mrs. J. C. Ewing says that trade in 

 her new store has started out excel- 

 lently. 



Miss Olive Bitter returned last week 

 from a week's visit to Greenville, O. 



Martin Beukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia, was a visitor last 

 week; also H. P. Smith, of Piqua, O., 

 and W. E. Wyldes, of the Peters & 

 Reed Pottery Co., Zanesville, O. 



Warren G. Matthews is quite ill with 

 quinsy. 



The inauguration of Governor Cox 

 was instrumental in creating a good 

 trade in this city January 13, as many 

 flowers were sent from here to Colum- 

 bus for that occasion, to say nothing 

 of the numerous orders for corsage 

 bouquets to be worn at the inaugural 

 ball. R. A. L.
