The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 27, 1911. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Last week seeined to be a week for 

 recreation and gating straightened 

 around after the Easter rush. Business 

 had receded Ctjueiderably, making the 

 trade of Easter week and last week 

 ouite a contrast. Warm weather pre- 

 dominated during the entire week and 

 brought out many of the tardy Easter 

 lily buds, so that there is still a gen- 

 erous supplj' of lilies on the market, 

 while the demand for them is rather 

 spasmodic. April showers, mingled in 

 with the warm weather, yrere instru- 

 mental in coaxing the fruit trees into 

 fcloom. Unless the weather should grow 

 much colder, it is quite evident that 

 the fruit crop will be heavy this year. 



Carnations are scarce, and the grow- 

 ers, ifistcad of pushing them, are rather 

 holding them back, is order to have a 

 good supply on Decoration day. Roses 

 are still in their glory, and couldn't be 

 finer. Some of our local growers are 

 trying the Spanish iris, for which they 

 find a good demand. The market is 

 good on valley, as tliere are several wed- 

 dings in the near future. A few strag- 

 gling hyacinths, that were evidently too 

 ■slow for the Easter rush, sold well last 

 week, most of them being used as cut 

 flowers. Funeral orders and a few wed- 

 dings keep the florist in business, as 

 most of the people seemingly spent all 

 their surplus cash for Easter. In many 

 instances it appeared that the milliners 

 did as good a flo.9-er business for Easter 

 as the florists.- " 



Various Notes. 



Word has been received from W. C. 

 Hood, who is with his son in South 

 Pasadena, Cal., that he has been laid 

 up for the last two months with a crip- 

 pled hand, which was smashed by a 

 large boulder while he was building a 

 rockery on a private estate.
