picking some fine long-stemmed violets. 

 He also states that he is cutting a good 

 many yellow narcissi, which do not 

 seem to take well, however, with his 

 trade. 



W. W. Horlacher says he has had 

 more orders for cut flowers to be used 

 at receptions and parties this year than 

 ever before. It seems that cut flowers 

 are continually becoming more popular 

 and are being used in Increasing quan- 

 tities for these occasions. 



M. Anderson spent a few days of 

 last week in Chicago on business. 



E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., called 

 on Dayton florists last week, intro- 

 ducing several of his 1911 novelties in 

 roses and carnations. 



I, Rosnosky, representing the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., of Philadelphia, made 

 his rounds among the trade last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ehrhardt and 

 daughter, Esther, of Sidney, 0., were 

 guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartholo- 

 mew February 5. 



Oliver Cressman, of Punxsutawney, 

 Pa., called on the Miami Floral Co. last 

 week. Mr. Cressman, who is just start- 

 ing in the florists' business, is spending 

 considerable time in visiting various 

 greenhouses, in the hope of securing 

 some novel ideas in building. 



John Boehner reports business to be 

 satisfactory. He was the victim of a 

 gas explosion some weeks ago, but has 

 completely recovered. 



The Miami Floral Co, has had excep- 

 tionally good business and flowers of all 

 kinds have been in good demand. The 

 recent dull weather has greatly affected 

 crops. 



Walter Matthews, of the Dayton Flo- 

 ral Co., is on the sick list. B. A. B.
