The Weekly Florists' Review. 



October 6, 1910. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Speaking from the wholesaler's view- 

 point, last week's business was a de- 

 cided improvement over that of the 

 week previous. The week started in a 

 little slow, as if the same monotonous 

 run of trade might continue, but while 

 the week was yet young, orders picked 

 up surprisingly and stock began to dis- 

 appear rapidly. Eoses, which were 

 rather overplentiful in previous weeks, 

 did not come fast enough last week; 

 this was especially true with the long- 

 stemmed ones. There was also a big 

 demand for lilies, none of which went 

 begging. As yet, the supply of carna- 

 tions is limited and it is an utter im- 

 possibility to keep up with orders for 

 them. 



The retail trade last week was some- 

 what spasmodic; one day there would 

 be a good rush of business in one sec- 

 tion of town, and the next day it would 

 switch to another section, so the retail- 

 ers were not able to give quite such 

 glowing reports on business as the 

 wholesalers. Shipping trade to neigh- 

 boring towns was most excellent, aid 

 almost invariably the cause for the sud- 

 den demand was brought on by funeral 

 work. 



We are at present having most agree- 

 able weather, with plenty of sunshine, 

 which is bringing stock along in a fine, 

 healthy condition. Some nice carnations 

 are being cut from the fields. Asters 

 are about done for, there being only a 

 few stragglers brought into the street 

 market by the gardeners; the same 

 holds true with gladioli. 



Everything considered, trade during 

 the month of September was quite sat- 

 isfactory and the supply of stock was 

 abundant. More business, however, 

 could have been taken care of. The 

 weather throughout the month was ideal. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton Florists' Club, which 

 had been adjourned for the summer 

 months, held its regular monthly busi- 

 ness meeting at the J. F. Young estab- 

 lishment on East Fifth street, October 

 3. Quite a large rejjrcsentation was 

 present and much interest was manifest 

 among the members. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Schaefer, of the 

 Advance Floral Co., are the proud par- 

 ents of a baby daughter born last week. 

 Needless to say, Mr. Schaefer wears 

 that smile that never comes off, for 

 the new arrival is their first child. 



Visitors last week were: Fred Lemke, 

 representing W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- 

 cago; E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; Mr. 

 Ludwig, of Livingston Seed Co., Colum- 

 bus, O.; Louis Elsass, of McKellar 

 ^Greenhouses, Chillicothe, O.; Henry Ehr- 

 hardt, Sidney, O.; J. Q. Mulford, Leb- 

 anon, O. R. A. B.
