The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 22, 1909. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Business. 



Bright, warm weather prevailed during 

 last week. Consequently, crops of all 

 kinds are coming in heavily, and stock 

 could not be better. There are only a 

 few bursted calyxes among the carna- 

 tions, and roses are mostly of the longer 

 stemmed grade. 



The market is holding out well. Busi- 

 ness last week started out with a boom, 

 and for the first four days kept up re- 

 markably well, but as stock became more 

 plentiful a gradual decline was notice- 

 able. As yet, however, there is no room 

 for ' ' kicking, ' ' and little or no attention 

 is given to the ash barrel. The market 

 has been good on Easter lilies, which 

 were used abundantly in wedding decora- 

 tions, and there has also been a good 

 call for callas. 



The outdoor tulip, hyacinth and daffo- 

 dil beds resemble a rainbow in color and 

 beauty. The fruit trees are a mass of 

 blossom, and the flowering shrubs are 

 daily becoming more beautiful, reminding 

 us that spring, though a little tardy, is 

 here at last. Geraniums and bedding 

 plants have started on the move, and or- 

 ders are steadily coming in. 



Various Notes. 



Last week was a record breaker at H. 

 H. Bitter's establishment. Weddings, re- 

 ceptions and parties kept them busy dec- 

 orating, not to speak of their other work. 



The Miami Floral Co. will commence 

 planting carnations in the field this 

 week. Their ^tock is strong and in first- 

 class condition. 



The Dayton Floral Co. is advertising 

 with electricity, and its ad., accompanied 

 by many others, is conspicuously placed 

 on one of Dayton's skyscrapers. In the 

 center of these advertisements is an 

 elaborate electrical display of the chariot 

 race, as described in "Ben-Hur. " The 

 sign was completed and charged for the 

 first time April 17, and attracted great 

 crowds of admirers. 



The Heiss Co. is doing its part in 

 beautifying the business (Sstrict of this 

 city. At present the firm is putting up 

 one of the largest iron vases made, which 

 stands eight feet high and the bowl of 

 which measures thirty-eight inches in 

 diameter. This will be placed at the 

 curbing in front of the Heiss store, and 

 will be kept in first-class condition by the 

 firm. R. A. B.
