While the month of February started in well, still it could have been better and we should still have had stock left over. The weather has been so extremely cold that it seems the florist is only in business for the benefit of the coal man. Funeral work is the only real live wire in the florists' business at present, and the demand along this line is somewhat spasmodic. Boses in general seem to be the scarce article and, of course, they are the one thing for which the demand runs highest. Carnations are in full crop and sell quite satisfactorily. The lily supply is ample to keep up with the trade. Bulb- otw stock of all seasonable varieties is most plentiful and could easily stand an increase in demand. The fore part of last week business was rather slow, but a decided increase was noticed dur- ing the last few days. Florists report booking some good orders for St. Valentine's day, the greatest demand running in red carna- tions and all choice roses; also corsage bouquets of violets, valley, orchids and sweet peas. Various Notes. The week commencing February 12 is automobile show week in Dayton. It is also a good week for the florists, as many palms and ferns, as well as cut flowers, are being u^ed for this occasion. The latest addition to the down-town store of the Heiss Co. is an elaborate cash register. Miss Amy Ewing is still seriously ill at her home with typhoid fever. Lit- tle change is noted in her condition. I am glad to report that Mrs. Eliza- beth Young, who has been quite ill since the holidays, is able to leave her room, although she will be confined to the house for several weeks more.
