DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Last week was a big week in this 

 city, it being the week of the fall fes- 

 tival and industrial exposition, which 

 brought thousands of people into town 

 from all over the state, and while some 

 lines of business reaped a great harvest 

 aJB a result, the florists, in comparison, 

 (lid not fare so well. There was not 

 much doing outside of funeral work, 

 while a limited amount of short- 

 stemmed stock was used by some of 

 the exhibitors, and given away as sou- 

 venirs. 



Stock is coming along finely, however, 

 ;^d crops are good; while not overabun- 

 (ftint, still sutficient to keep the cus- 

 tomers' wants supplied. Roses of all 

 varieties, American Beauties included, 

 are coming in fine — good size, stem and 

 foliage, but My Maryland, Kaiserin and 

 Rhea Reid appear to be the most pre- 

 ferred varieties. 



Carnations, while as yet quite scarce, 

 are of good quality, Enchantress and 

 dark pink sorts being more plentiful 

 than white. The supply of giganteums 

 is also good at present, and the demand 

 keeps up splendidly. The demand for 

 valley is fair. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton florists who arranged 

 floats for the opening parade of the 

 festival were the Heiss Co. and the Ad- 

 vance Floral Co., the first Tiamed being 

 successful in capturing the third prize, 

 with a float that was artistically deco- 

 rated with palms and decorative plants, 

 while as a centerpiece they used a 

 large urn filled with various kinds of 

 plants. The float of the Advance Floral 

 Co. was also skillfully arranged, carry- 

 ing out the idea of a wedding party be- 

 fore the altar. 



On the afternoon of September 21 

 an automobile parade was given, in 

 which some ninety cars took part, all 

 gayly decorated in many difl'erent styles 

 and in all kinds of flowers, this being 

 the first parade of its kind in this city. 

 It was quite a success. The Dayton 

 Floral Co. had some part in this, as 

 it was their privilege to decorate a 

 couple of the autos. 



Warren G. Matthews had a booth in 

 the Exposition building that attracted 

 much attention. The entire center was 

 formed by an immense bank of palms 

 and bay trees. There were all sorts of 

 flowers, and Mr. Matthews was award- 

 ed first premium for his roses, gladioli, 

 cannas and many other flowers. A first 

 prize was also captured by his bridal 

 table, which, furnished complete with 

 service of china and silver, was beauti-

fully decorated with Japanese lilies and 

 valley, and many little butterflies. In 

 addition, there were many distinctive 

 and artistic funeral designs. Mr. Mat- 

 thews' American Beauty roses were 

 never fiier or more beautiful than on 

 this occasion, and they received the 

 first prize in the exhibit. In addition 

 to the floral display, Mr. Matthews had 

 a complete line of florists' supplies, such 

 as ornamental baskets, fern dishes, etc.
