The general report of last week's trade assures us that it did not come up to that of the week previous. The weather was bad, and people could not get out to buy flowers, although the demands for funeral work keep up fairly well. Carnations were plentiful, but roses seemed to be scarce with every- body. Giganteums are commencing to put in their appearance again, after a prolonged shortage. Freesias, narcissi and other seasonable bulbous stock are abundant. The weather through the last few weeks has been hard on the blooming, growing and keeping qualities of stock. Pot plants seem to be daily increasing in popularity. Various Notes. The Dayton Floral Co. introduced something a little new last week, in the form of azaleas of miniature size. They took well with their customers. M. Anderson says it is quite gratify- ing to note the increase in business at his stand in the Elder-Johnston store. Excitement was created at the plant of the Miami Floral Co. last week, when a telephone man lost his balance and fell from his ladder, going through sash- bars and glass, and landing in the sand of the propagating bench. W. W. Horlacher had several fine dec- orations last week, for luncheons and parties. L. S. Bibler and George S. Thompson, of the Columbus Floral Co., Columbus, O., visited some of their Dayton cus- tomers last week. From here they went on to Springfield. They gave encourag- ing reports on business and expect to extend their plant in the spring, to grow a more extensive variety of stock. Jos. I. Schaefer had a special run on Primula obconica last week. Jos. Furst, who has been in poor health during the summer, is steadily re- gaining his strength and is able to give more attention to his business. Walter G. Matthews, who was ill with the grip last week, is able to re- sume his duties at the store. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Mittman are re- ceiving congratulation
