The Florists' Review 



January 30, 1918. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



The general report of last week's 

 trade assures us that it did not come up 

 to that of the week previous. The 

 weather was bad, and people could not 

 get out to buy flowers, although the 

 demands for funeral work keep up fairly 

 well. Carnations were plentiful, but 

 roses seemed to be scarce with every- 

 body. Giganteums are commencing to 

 put in their appearance again, after a 

 prolonged shortage. Freesias, narcissi 

 and other seasonable bulbous stock are 

 abundant. The weather through the 

 last few weeks has been hard on the 

 blooming, growing and keeping qualities 

 of stock. Pot plants seem to be daily 

 increasing in popularity. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton Floral Co. introduced 

 something a little new last week, in the 

 form of azaleas of miniature size. They 

 took well with their customers. 



M. Anderson says it is quite gratify- 

 ing to note the increase in business at 

 his stand in the Elder-Johnston store. 



Excitement was created at the plant 

 of the Miami Floral Co. last week, when 

 a telephone man lost his balance and 

 fell from his ladder, going through sash- 

 bars and glass, and landing in the sand 

 of the propagating bench. 



W. W. Horlacher had several fine dec- 

 orations last week, for luncheons and 

 parties. 



L. S. Bibler and George S. Thompson, 

 of the Columbus Floral Co., Columbus, 

 O., visited some of their Dayton cus- 

 tomers last week. From here they went 

 on to Springfield. They gave encourag- 

 ing reports on business and expect to 

 extend their plant in the spring, to 

 grow a more extensive variety of stock. 



Jos. I. Schaefer had a special run on 

 Primula obconica last week. 



Jos. Furst, who has been in poor 

 health during the summer, is steadily re- 

 gaining his strength and is able to give 

 more attention to his business. 



Walter G. Matthews, who was ill 

 with the grip last week, is able to re- 

 sume his duties at the store. 



Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Mittman are re- 

 ceiving congratulations over the arrival 

 of a baby boy, born January 22. 



The new greenhouses of the National 

 Cash Register Co. are completed and 

 filled with an exceptionally fine lot of 

 stock. 



P. .T. Agnew was wearing an excep- 

 tionally large smile last week; he tells 

 us that he is grandpa. 



Visitors: Edward McCowan, Rich- 

 mond, Ind.; A. F. Longren, of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., Chicago; Fred Lembke, 

 of W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, and Jos. 

 Hill, of E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.

1 have us-'d the Imperial Plant Food, both 

 in Powder and Biscuit form, and hav»- alw ays 

 font d it safe and reliable, as well as very 

 marked in its effects on all clas.ses of plMnts 

 on which it has been used For the commer- 

 cial florist or pri>ate gardener who nee<is a 

 really high-(rrade and quick acting fertilizer, 

 there is nothing superior to the Imperial 

 Plant Food. Many skilled growers have been 

 using it for yearf>, and 1 have yet to meet one 

 who does not commend it.
