DAYTON, OHIO. 



Market Good. 



Up to the present time the Lenten sea- 

 son has not checked the con(fi"tion of 

 trade to any great extent, as there has 

 been a good demand for funeral work. 

 The weather conditions during the last 

 week were just what the florist delights 

 to see while he is making preparation 

 for Easter. Trade for St. Patrick's day 

 promises to be good. Of course white 

 carnations will be in demand. There is 

 a good supply of stock of all kinds at 

 present and the florists are able to fill 

 their orders in a satisfactory manner. 

 Roses could not be better in size, color 

 and foliage. Carnations also are at their 

 best. Owing to plenty of design work, 

 calla, album and longiflorum lilies sell 

 well, likewise valley, violets, Eoman nar- 

 cissi, etc. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Dayton Florists' Club held its reg- 

 ular monthly meeting at the establish- 

 ment of John Young, nearly all the mem- 

 bers being present. After the business 

 session the annual election of officers took 

 place. Herman H. Bitter was reelected 

 to the offlce of president; Warren G. 

 Matthews, vice-president; Horace Frank, 

 who has been secretary of the club ever 

 since its organization, was again elected 

 to fill that office, and George W. Bar- 

 tholomew was reelected treasurer. The 

 president appointed James W. McNary 

 and Arthur Schmidt as a committee to 

 arrange for topics of discussion for the 

 good of the club and its members at the 

 monthly meetings. Forrest P. Mitman 

 and Fred C. Moon, partners in the Hiess 

 Co., were taken in as members. 



Various Notes. 



Not only was the city of Dayton rep- 

 resented at the inauguration of President 

 Wm. Taft, but the Dayton florists as 

 well. Horace Frank, of the Hiess Co., 

 who is a member of the Taft Glee Club 

 of this city, left March 2 for Washing- 

 ton, and arrived there in due season, 

 which was more than a good many did. 

 Mr. Frank reports a most enjoyable time. 



Arno and Julius Hendrichs returned 

 March S from a two weeks' visit at New 

 Orleans, La., where they were the guests 

 of M. Cook and family. They report a 

 most enjoyable time. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young is confined to 

 her home with an attack of the grip. 



Mrs. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, 

 was the guest of Misses M. & L. John- 

 son for a few days last week. 



The Dayton Floral Co. is carrying a 

 new line of porch and window-boxes, 

 made of iron, and painted white. The 

 box makes an attractive appearance and 

 they report good sales on same. They 

 also report the outlook for Easter most 

 promising, and stock for that date is in 

 fine condition. The new electric line, 

 which has recently been put into opera- 

 tion, passes by tlie plant, making a great 

 improvement and convenience for them. 



Stock with the Miami Floral Co. is in 

 fine condition, especially Easter lilies. 

 Business with them has been satisfactory 

 uiid the outlook for Easter is good.
