Tlie Market. 



The pleasing thing about last week 

 was the mild weather, which naturally 

 helped everything along finely. On the 

 roses it worked like a spring tonic, for 

 roses during the last few weeks have 

 been decidedly off crop. The Lenten 

 season seems to be having its usual ef- 

 fect on business, as there appears to be 

 a lull in trade. Funeral work, however, 

 is an exception; it is doing its share 

 toward the betterment of conditions. 

 There seem to be plenty of flowers, in 

 varieties to meet all requirements; also 

 an ample supply of seasonable pot 

 plants, which in many cases sell more 

 readily than cut flowers. The recent 

 warm weather is commencing to coax 

 outdoor vegetation along, while the hya- 

 cinths, tulips and other bulbous plants 

 have already broken through the soil. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Alexander, representing Lion & 

 Co., of Philadelphia, called on a few 

 of the Dayton florists while en route 

 to Columbus. 



A pretty spring window was displayed 

 at the store of the Heiss Co., last week. 



We are glad to report that Mrs. B. 

 Hendrichs is again able to be about. 



James Ewing was in Eichmond, Ind., 

 last week, where he visited the estab- 

 lishment of the E. G. Hill Co. John 

 Boehner was also there last week. 



Miss Katherine Young was one of 

 Dayton's busiest flOTists last week, 

 largely on account of funeral work. 



W. W. Horlacher says he has real- 

 ized a good thing in his orchids this 



There is but one SNAPDRAGON worth while— and that is
