DAYTON, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



In giving a' report on the business of 

 last week, we are unable to say that 

 there was any increase or decrease. One 

 day the retailer would be kept busy, and 

 the next day trade would be compara- 

 tively quiet. We can say, however, that 

 we are able to handle a better trade than 

 the present conditions present, as there 

 is plenty of first-class stock to be ob- 

 tained in both roses and carnations, as 

 well as callas, longiflorums and all cut 

 flowers in season. White carnations are 

 scarce, and funeral work was quite plen- 

 tiful last week. 



The weather during last week was dull, 

 with an abundance of rain and high 

 winds; thus the crops were checked to a 

 slight degree. The outlook for a good 

 supply of roses and carnations for Dec- 

 oration day is encouraging. 



Various Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. says that in 

 order to get home-grown peonies for 

 Decoration day we must have nice, warm 

 rains, and plenty of bright weather, as 

 the present prospect is a little doubtful. 



Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs was kept busy 

 last week with funeral work. 



H. H, Ritter is daily booking large 

 bedding plant orders, and feels well sat- 

 isfied with spring trade. 



Arno Hendrichs has been on the sick 

 list for a week, l)ut is now on the road 

 to recovery. 



Miss Lucy .Johnson has been confined 

 to bed with grip for the last ten days, 

 but at present there is a slight change for 

 the better. 



A'^isitors last week were: Mr. Hudson, 

 of Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot 

 Works; E. J. Gould, London, O. ; .7. Q. 

 Mulford, Lebanon, ()., and George Bird, 

 Sidney, O. R. A. B. 



MiLLViLLE, X. J. — When the Easter 

 business was over at the Henderson 

 greenhouses, on Seventh street, there was 

 no time lost in beginning systematic 

 preparations for Memorial day. A part 

 of the benches where the Easter plants 

 stood is now occupied by 8,000 gerani- 

 ums. 



SANGANO 



Is the new, brilliant, Klisteninir pink carnation shown at Indianapolis and awarded the 

 A. O. S. CertiQcate of Merit, attracting the attention of every carnation grower on account 

 of its very pleasing color, long, stiff stem, and well formed flowers, measuring 3 to 3>2 inches. 

 The calyx is strong, and as a producer, it cannot be excelled. 



Orders booked now for January, 1910, delivery. 



$12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

CONQUEST 



A new seedling Carnation to be disseminated next season. This is a variety that florists 

 have been wanting ever since they discarded Prosperity. 



CONQUEST '^ ^ ''^''^ flesh-pink, overlaid with a deep rose-pink, the color extending 

 over the petals from the center almost to the edge. It does not fade, 

 making it a most beautiful and attractive flower. Its habit is somewhat on the order of Lawson, 

 although the stem is somewhat longer, and very stiff. The flowers are well filled and nicely 

 formed, which add to its attradiveness. Without a doubt, it will be the most attractive, as well 

 as the most profitable variety to be disseminated the coming season. 



Orders booked now for January 1, 1910, delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

MARY TOLMAN 



A ne^ llffbt salinon pink Carnation, of a somewhat warmer tone than Enchant- 

 ress, and does not fade on the edge oi the petals, having a clear, even shade all over the 

 flower, which measures from 3 to 3*« inchts, although 4-inch flowers are very common. The 

 stenvis long and stiff, holding the flower perfectly erect. The calyx is very strong, and as a 

 producer, it comes early, is very free and continuous. 



Orders booked now for January 1910 delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.
