The Florists' Review 



May 22, 1913. 



DAYTON, O. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Walter G. Matthews and chil- 

 dren are visiting their aunt, Mrs. E, B. 

 Weston, in Chicago. 



J. r. Young has opened his store 

 again at 37 East Fifth street. The 

 store was badly demolished by the re- 

 cent flood, making it necessary to have 

 an entire new front put in the building. 



W. J. Engle, who has a large vine- 

 yard, lost all of his grapes by the heavy 

 frost of May 11. 



William Boehner, son of John Boeh- 

 ner, one of Dayton's leading florists, 

 and Mary L. Staddon, of Clayton, O., 

 were married last week, 



E. E. Schaefer, of the Advance Floral 

 Co., has on display some extra fine 

 cattleyas. Mr. Schaefer is doing a 

 splendid business, especially in the 

 plant line. 



As the different business men re- 

 opened their stores after the flood, 

 some decidedly original signs appeared 

 over their doors. One of these signs 

 was that of W. G. Matthews, which 

 read, "Matthews, open for business. 

 Flowers for other occasions besides 

 funerals. ' ' 



A heavy and killing frost did an im- 

 mense amount of damage May 11 in all 

 parts of the Miami valley. The advance 

 growth of truck gardens was killed, 

 grapes were blackened and even the 

 leaves were destroyed as by fire, being 

 shriveled and in many cases entirely 

 consumed. All sorts of early rose 

 growths were destroyed, and cherries 

 in many exposed places were nipped 

 to such an extent that they fell like 

 rain from the trees. Many of the large 

 growers of tomatoes in this vicinity 

 had set out all their plants and these 

 were entirely blackened by the frost. 

 The weather, however, being a little 

 cool, is holding the peonies back, so 

 that they will just strike it right for 

 Decoration day. 



Trade continues to be encouraging 

 and everyone seems satisfied. 



Among the visitors last week was I. 

 Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., Philadelphia. R. A. L. 



"NEW GEUM" 

 1913 



Gewn Coccineum 



Mrs. J. Bradshaw 



This is one of the finest plants of recent 

 introduction. It will put quite into the 

 background all the Geums at present 

 found in gardens. This fine variety pro- 

 duces very large flowers, 2 inches or more 

 across, semi-double, and with plenty of 

 substance in them, of the most brilliant 

 scarlet. They are produced on long wiry 

 stems, and continuously from June to 

 October. For cutting and border decora- 

 tion it is very hard to beat, and no doubt 

 it will figure conspicuously on the show 

 table in future.

GERANIUMS 



Some growers depend on the culls left after the bedding season is 

 over for their propagating stock. The wise grower uses the best 

 plants he can get for that purpose. Young plants propagated for 

 that purpose are the best. We have a few thousands of just that 

 kind, of the following varieties:— Marvel, the best deep red; S. 

 A. Nutt, deep red; Decorator, the best orange scarlet; A. 

 Ricard, orange scarlet; Bte. de Poitevine, salmon. 

 Plant these out now for your fall propagating.
