The FloristsV Review 



May 22, 1913. 



HAMILTON, O. 



Conditions Since the Flood. 



Hamilton florists who suffered in the 

 recent flood are rapidly getting things 

 back to their original good order, al- 

 though, as far as supplies of stock are 

 concerned, it will take months to re- 

 place the loss. 



The firm of John Lodder & Sons, now 

 run by the four Lodder brothersj lost 

 most heavily. The water was between 

 five and six feet deep in their place, 

 but it was the terrible current that did 

 most of the damage. Three of their 

 twenty-four houses were swept away 

 entirely and two others were badly 

 twisted and damaged. There was more 

 or less destruction throughout the 

 range; the ends of houses were carried 

 away, glass was broken and benches 

 were either swept away or covered 

 with mud. The palm house was carried 

 away with all its contents, to the value 

 of $1,000 or more. The palms had been 

 out among the Hamilton churches for 

 Easter decoration, and the whole day 

 following this holiday, and just preced- 

 ing the flood, had been spent in gather- 

 ing them in. Only one lot, about $200 

 worth, was left at a church that escaped 

 the flood, and these were saved. All 

 the bedding stock, roses, sweet peas, 

 chrysanthemums in 2-inch pots, etc., 

 were lost. Large shipments of carna- 

 tion and mum stock have been ordered. 

 The three carnation "houses suffered the 

 least damage and good carnations are 

 being cut. These and some geraniums 

 and hydrangeas are about all the stock 

 that came through the flood. 



Other florists were generous in offer- 

 ing assistance in the way of stock, but 

 the Lodder boys have refused all dona- 

 tions, pluckily saying they will recover 

 by their own unaided efforts. A force 

 of about twenty men is still busy clean- 

 ing the houses and clearing away the 

 wreckage. The firm has made no close 

 estimate of its loss, but it will run up 

 into the thousands of d(7llars. 



Theodore Bock suffered less severely 

 than did the Lodders. One of his 

 houses escaped altogether; the stock in 

 the other houses was covered to a depth 

 of about five or six inches above the 

 pots. He had better protection against 

 the great current, so that his houses 

 were not damaged. 



Hamiltonians are not content to have 

 their yards and gardens remain un- 

 planted or unadorned, and are keeping 

 florists and seedsmen busy filling orders.
