DAYTON, OHIO. 



The Market. 



The recent cold snap, which did a 

 great deal of damage to fruit crops, po- 

 tatoes, etc., also killed a vast quantity 

 of outdoor flowers, and has therefore 

 given a better tone to the market, as up 

 to the time of the heavy frosts the out- 

 door flowers were flooding the market 

 and. of course, had a tendency to de- 

 preciate the value of cultivated stock. 



Last week was a big week among the 

 Masons, and this, together with a brisk 

 demand for funeral work, enlivened a 

 week that would otherwise have been 

 rather dead. The cold weather checked 

 crops somewhat, but at the same time 

 there was enough to go around, and just 

 enough business to keep stock on the 

 move. Most of the florists are now hav- 

 ing large cuts on carnations and roses. 



Mothers' day is growing in popularity, 

 and people are commencing to observe it 

 more than usual. Heavy orders are 

 being booked for white carnations and 

 roses for that date, while the florists are 

 boosting the price on white flowers for 

 that day. 



Although the cold snap has greatly 

 checked the progress of outdoor stock, 

 at the same time it is feared by many 

 that home-grown peonies will be in be- 

 fore Decoration day ; however, it is hoped 

 that the weather conditions may be such 

 as to prevent such a calamity. 



Business, through the month of April, 

 varied a great deal, but in general all 

 seemed satisfied with results. 



The weather kept one guessing, and 

 we had quite a variety, including snow, 

 rain and frosts. It really seemed that 

 March and April had changed places, as 

 we had our March weather in April and 

 vice versa. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting at the estab- 

 li.shment of J. T. Young, East Fifth 

 street, May 2. 



Mrs. L, D. Johnson and son, William, 

 returned last week from a most enjoy- 

 able visit to New Orleans, La. The good 

 time they report was due to the generous 

 hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook, 

 with whom they were visiting. 



The Miami Floral Co. last week fin- 

 ished planting 60,000 carnations out in 

 the field. This is all they intend to put 

 out; the rest of their stock they will 

 grow on in pots until the time comes to 

 plant in the bench. This company is 

 cutting some fine gladioli. 



John Boehner has a fine crop of gigan- 

 teum in bloom now. 



Mrs. B. Haschke is now suffering from 

 a second dose of poisoning, caused by
