One of New York 's most prominent 

 florists made a flying trip to Philadel- 

 phia the other day to purchase his 

 Easter supplies, arriving at 3:20 p. m., 

 spending slightly over an hour at the 

 House of Rice, and returning to New 

 York on the 5 p. m. train. Phil. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Trade last week was all that could 

 be expected, and St. Valentine's day 

 did much to bring about this condition. 

 Funeral work was also a feature. An 

 increase in the carnation supply is quite 

 noticeable, while roses continue scarce. 

 Violets and other small flowers espe- 

 cially adapted for corsage bouquets sold 

 at sight. They were of fine quality 

 and plentiful, but the demand was so 

 great that none had a chance to spoil. 

 Pot plants also found a good market. 



Various Notes. 



A few weeks ago it was our pleasure 

 to announce that a fine baby daughter 

 had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Findlay 

 Neibert, but February 12 the little one 

 was claimed by death, due to an attack 

 of pneumonia.

 Warren G. Matthews, passed away at
