The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOTUIBIB 2, 1811. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Last week's business was no excep- 

 tion to tke general run of trade, al- 

 though we had most beautiful weather 

 the first four days of the week. We 

 had a few killing frosts, just the kind 

 the florists have wished for, and con- 

 sequently outdoor stock has ceased to 

 be a hindrance to trade. The florists 

 are busy taking their geranium cut- 

 tings and getting the stock started for 

 Bext spring. 



Stock continues to come in. It is 

 more than sufficient for the demand 

 and fine in quality, but trade continues 

 to move at a slow pace. Funeral orders 

 and a few receptions seem to be the 

 •nly live wires. Mums are becoming 

 more abundant each day, and are push- 

 ing to one side the sales on all other 

 varieties of stock. 



Generally speaking and in plain lan- 

 guage, business during the greater part 

 of October was ' ' bum. ' ' Everybody 

 was complaining and some think the 

 late frosts had much to do with it, as 

 this gave ample room for an over- 

 supply of dahlias, outdoor mums, etc. 

 This trouble has recently been removed, 

 and we are now anticipating a better 

 trade for November. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Kurtz, who for the last six- 

 teen years has been manager for the 

 Dayton Floral Co., has gone into the 

 retail business for himself, starting 

 November 1 at the corner of East Fifth 

 and Jackson streets. Mr. Kurtz is thor- 

 oughly acquainted with the business 

 and a l>right future is predicted for 

 him. 



One of the prettiest window decora- 

 tions on Main street last week was 

 that of the Heiss Co., which recently 

 put in a new show window. The set- 

 ting was that of an autumn scene in 

 the rural districts, with the rail fence, 

 husked corn and pumpkins quite con- 

 spicuous. 



The National Cash Register Co. has 

 recently completed its new greenhouse, 

 which will be used for the care of a 

 portion of its bedding plants. 



Mr. and Mrs. George Bartholomew 

 have announced the engagement of 

 their daughter. Ruby A., to Claude W. 

 Leslie. The wedding will take place 

 the latter part of November. 



Arthur Carey spent October 29 in 

 Cincinnati. He reports a pleasant time. 



The Miami Floral Co. is having a 

 new switch put in, which will bring 

 all the freight and coal up to the en- 

 gine room doors. R. A. B.

For GVnamentalness 



At a glance that's apparent. The reaeou is 

 the Il-Bar. To put it another way: you can 



Eut a gold-plated harness on a heavy draft 

 orse and hitch him to a swell little runabout 

 —but with all his trappings he ambles along 

 ThUisthe U-Bar draft-horsc fashioQ just the same. So, by the 

 —the Bar that same token, putting a curved eave on a green- 

 makes u-Bar house does not make it a U-Bar curved ea^ 

 Greenhouses the house. A U- Bar house is distinctly different, 

 famous green- and it's the U-Bar that makes it so. Send for 

 houses they are. the catalogue and find out just why.
