The Weekly FIorists^Review. 



MAT 6, 1909. 



DAYTON, OfflO. 



State of Trade. 



Viewing last week's business from the 

 wholesalers' standpoint, it was not so 

 "worse," but could have been better. 

 Boses and carnations were quite plenti- 

 ful, and but little of the stock went to 

 the bad. Callas came in great numbers, 

 but their sale was limited. Easter lilies 

 and valley were not any too plentiful 

 and the market for them was exception- 

 ally good. A few of our florists are 

 cutting the lilies which were intended 

 for Easter, but they do not come amiss, 

 as there is a good sale for them now. 



The retailers complain of business be- 

 ing a little slow last week, but this week 

 has started out with a boom and, from 

 the present outlook, will make up for 

 last week. The bedding plant business 

 is keeping up to its usual standard for 

 this time of the year, and the florist has 

 no doubt in his mind but what he will 

 sell out his entire stock before Decora- 

 tion day. Geraniums are bringing $7 

 and $8 per hundred at wholesale, and 

 $1.50 per dozen, retail. 



Business throughout April was, on the 

 whole, very satisfactory to the florist. 

 Receipts ran far ahead of last year. 

 Stock was plentiful and good. The 

 weather was not the best, as exceedingly 

 high winds prevailed during the month, 

 and it really seemed as if we were hay- 

 ing a repetition of March. 



Various Notes. 



E. J. Gould, of London, O., was in 

 town last week on business. 



"Warren G. Matthews is without a 

 doubt wearing the broadest smile of any 

 florist in Dayton. He's grandpa now. 



W. C. Hood, of Richmond, Ind., re- 

 cently accepted' a position with the Mi- 

 ami Floral Co., of this city, 



H. H. Bitter reports trade of last week 

 slow, but that this week has started out 

 extra well. 



A large company of friends walked 

 in at Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Bartholo- 

 mew 's and gave them a good surprise, 

 on Wednesday, April 28, their twenty- 

 Mt\\ wedding anniversary. A most en- 

 joyable evening was spent. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Bartholomew were showered with 

 good wishes and received many beautiful 



The Dayton Floral Co. decorated the 

 motormen and conductors of the city 

 railroads last Sunday by giving each a 

 carnation for his buttonhole. The com- 

 pany had an extra large cut of carna- 

 tions on that day, and thought this a 

 good way to make use of their surplus. 



The Miami Floral Co. reports a good 

 local and shipping trade. Their stock is 

 in fine shape, and they find good sale 

 for all. They are also cutting heavily 

 on callas, but these move a little more 

 slowly. B. A. B.

A true description of our 

 Everwear Greenhouee Hose is 

 best described and proven by 

 test. 



Everwear Hose is nothing 

 but rubber— inside and out- 

 side; never kinks, thus placing 

 it far superior to any other 

 hose made suitable for green- 

 house work. It's a Qreen- 

 house Hose. 



Everwear in fact as well as 

 in name, and it sets a standard 

 by which all other hose is 

 judged. The best is none too 

 good for your work.
