for dinners, which, together with wed- 

 ding and funeral requirements, helped 

 things out wonderfully. The only draw- 

 back was the scarcity of some varieties 

 of flowers, for which the demand ran 

 high. Carnations were the greatest 

 proposition; orders had to be turned 

 down. "What few there were in the 

 market were of good quality. It is 

 expected, however, if the weather con- 

 tinues favorable, there will be a good 

 crop on for Christmas. 



White roses were more abundant than 

 anything else; in fact, they were over- 

 abundant, as red and yellow seemed to 

 be the favorite Thanksgiving colors. 

 Red roses up until last week were plen- 

 tiful, but for last week's orders it took 

 no little scheming to get enough to 

 satisfy the trade. Pink roses seem to 

 be off crop also. 



Large chrysanthemums were in full 

 swing and now there are only a few 

 of the late varieties of yellow and white 

 left on the market. Chrysanthemums 

 this season have made good all the way 

 through. There has also been a good 

 supply of lilies during the last two 

 weeks, which have found ready sale. 

 Callas are coming in more plentifully 

 oaeh day, but they do not sell as well as 

 the giganteums. One of the hardest 

 things to supply abundantly is smilax. 

 Sweet peas are increasing in supply and 

 sell well. Violets, too, find plenty of 

 buyers. Valley and orchids were popu- 

 lar flowers for the Thanksgiving brides ' 

 and corsage bouquets. 



Various Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. is putting in a 

 new 125 horse-power boiler, which will 

 give them a model heating system. 



Mrs. J. C. Ewing has opened a flower 

 store on the corner of West Third street 

 and Broadway. The place will go un- 

 der the name of the Gem City Flower 

 Shop. 



Roy Ewing, who has been with John 

 Boehner for the last year, is back at 

 his old position with the Miami Floral 

 Co. 



J. W. Eodgers spent December 1 with 

 his family in Monroe, O. 



John Boehner decorated last week 

 for the Masonic Thanksgiving dinner, 

 at which there were 1,200 guests. Each 

 guest was given a carnation bouton- 

 niere and Mr. Boehner experienced no 

 little trouble in getting the necessary 

 number of carnations at short notice. 



A large banquet was given last week 

 in honor of the governor, for which 

 Warren G. Matthews did the decorat- 

 ing. 



The Dayton Floral Co. had a large 

 decoration December 1 for the Elks' 

 memorial service at the National The- 

 ater. 



Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Engle entertained 

 a large party of relatives from different 

 points in Ohio Thanksgiving day. 



Elmer Jenkins is in North Carolina 

 on business. 



Mrs. B. Haschke tells us she did a 

 fine trade on chrysanthemums for 

 Thanksgiving.
