The Weekly Rorists* Review. 



Mabch 18, 1900. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Business. 



While no one is complaining to any 

 great extent, yet business has taken a 

 step backward. This, however, is no more 

 than what the florist expects to contend 

 with at this season of the year. March 

 has brought with it its same old style 

 of weather, windy one day and springlike 

 the next. The warm days have affected 

 the outside bulbs, such as Dutch hy- 

 acinths, tulips, etc., and in many cases 

 stock that was intended for Easter trade 

 will be ready long before that time. 

 The market at present is well supplied 

 with bulbous stock, which sells fairly 

 well. 



White carnations are the flower of the 

 hour for this week. The cut on these is 

 heavy, but the demand is heavier than 

 the supply. Dayton florists are not only 

 coloring white carnations and other suit- 

 able white flowers, but find that the 

 Trumpet Major also makes a beautiful 

 St. Patrick flower. Stock of all kinds 

 is in fine condition at present. The flo- 

 rists have found Lilium album to be a 

 good seller this season; the public seems 

 to favor it in floral designs. After the 

 Lenten season business will, of course, 

 take on new life. 



Various Notes. 



The Dayton Floral Co. is among those 

 who have been obliged to move their 

 bulbous plants from the frames and put 

 them in cooler places. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young is reported to be 

 improving, but is still confined to her 

 home. 



Several of our large stores are having 

 their spring openings, and Herman H. 

 Bitter reports several large decorations 

 along this line. 



Paul M. Halbrooks, manager of the 

 greenhouses of the Livingston Seed Co., 

 and William Underwood, of Underwood 

 Bros., of Columbus, O., visited the Miami 

 Floral Co. last week. 



A. M. Miller, of Chicago, who has just 

 completed a trip through Michigan, was 

 a visitor last week. B. A. B. 



Jackson, Tenn. — ^As the result of a 

 prize contest, T. L. Metcalfe's green- 

 houses, at the corner of Church and 

 Baltimore streets, will hereafter bear the 

 name of Jackson's Pride. Mr. Metcalfe 

 offered a prize for the most suitable 

 name, and the name chosen was one of 

 several that were submitted.
