fine lot of home-grown peonies for the 

 trade this year — one of the best lots 

 ever seen in this city for Memorial day. 



E. A. Humfeld was exceedingly busy 

 with funeral work on Memorial day, 

 which made it hard for him to get out 

 his general orders. His hydrangeas sold 

 especially well. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. reports that business was a strenu- 

 ous rush. Carnations sold most rapidly 

 and Beauties were the slowest. 



Samuel Murray says business was 

 much heavier than last year. Plants of 

 all kinds, as well as cut flowers, were 

 sold out early. 



Arthur Xewell was extremely busy 

 all the week. He bought 7,000 peony 

 blooms from a local grower and these 

 proved to be the finest that have been 

 seen in this city for some time. He 

 says i>eonies went fast, especially on 

 out of town orders. 



The \V. L. Rock Flower Co. had a 

 heavy week in decorating, and the ship- 

 ping trade for Memorial day was the 

 largest the firm ever had. 



Henry Kusik & Co. cleaned out every- 

 thing. They received extra heavy con- 

 signments from the north and the stock 

 arrived in good shape. They are still 

 behind with the orders in their wire 

 department. W. .T. B. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



The Memorial day trade this year 

 was surprisingly good and surpassed all 

 exj)ectations. The flood has seemingly 

 not aflfected the people 's attitude to- 

 ward flowers, as there was at least as 

 much sjient for flowers in Dayton for 

 Memorial day as ever before. Peonies 

 seemed to be the favorite in cut flowers, 

 but on account of the exceedingly cold 

 weather previous to Memorial day the 

 supply was limited. Carnations were in 

 fairly good supply, with quality that 

 would stand for improvement, but the 

 price was good. Roses met the demand 

 well. Lilies and other miscellaneous 

 stock' sold briskly. The outdoor mar 

 ket May 29 was crowded with iris, 

 peonies, hardy roses and all kinds of 

 seasonable stock, which was brought 

 in bv the farmers. This did not affect

the florists' business, however, as they, 

 too, easily disposed of everything. 



Various Notes. 



Speaking of the recent flood and its 

 effect on our city, while Dayton today 

 is not what it was in appearance, it is 

 rapidl.y recovering, and business in all 

 lines has increased wonderfully. Every 

 body seems insjiired with the desire to 

 make Dayton bigger and better. The 

 florists were among those who thought 

 their business killed for a long time, 

 but it has not been so. All florists are 

 greatly encouragetl with the way things 

 are going. 



Freil Lembke, representing the W. AV. 

 Barnard Co., Cliicago, was in the city 

 last week. 



•los. 1. Schaefer emidiatically declares 

 that his Memorial day business this 

 year far exceeded that of any year 

 previous. 



That everything 

 was sold out clean 



in bedding plants 

 for Memorial dav 



is the re|)ort of Mrs. Elizabeth Phebus, 

 and her cut flower trade was fine.
