DO THEY DO IT? 



If you are a wholesale florist stick to 

 the title of your business and don't be 

 selling to some honest retail florisfs 

 customers at wiiolesale prices. This is 

 getting to be a very common thing of 

 late. 1 know of at least $50.00 worth of 

 flowers at wholesale prices coming to 

 this city in the last two weeks from 

 wholesalers who are supposed to be look- 

 ing after the letailer's welfare instead 

 of stealing the retailer's business while 

 he is asleep. But all retailers are not 

 asleep and we are going, I hope, to be 

 more awake than we are at present, and 

 the wholesaler will be sorry if this state 

 of affairs is not stopped. We know the 

 firms that ship to our city in this way. 



If they mu.st ship why not do as other 

 firms do? For instance, if a person 

 should go from liere or any other town 

 to Grand Rapids and buy furniture, 

 the wholesale firm sells them, but at a 

 good retail piice. and sends the profit to 

 the retailer in the town where goods are 

 sent. That is no more than fair. 



Now I think if the wholesale cut 

 flower firms come down so low as to sell 

 flowers at wholesale prices to people 

 who are not in the trade, the florist pa- 

 pers should be honest and publish such 

 oflfences, mentioning names of (irms, and 

 all out of town buyers should trade with 

 houses that protect their interests. 



Would like to hear from some one else 

 through your paper, even from the 

 wholesalers who shipped the flowers to 

 our city in the last few weeks.

[We find it diflicult to believe that 

 any wholesaler would he so unwise as to 

 do what our correspondent states. If it 

 is done then those who do it are simply 

 cutting their own throats. Certainly the 

 retailers who have their trade taken 

 away in such a manner have good cause 

 for complaint, and the action suggested 

 by our correspondent would be in order.

JAPAN LONGIFLORUM. 



Forcirg for Easter. 



There are many inquiries this season 

 as to how Japan longiflorum maj' be 

 got in for Easter. In spite of the many 

 special brands olTered there are stiil 

 mixed varieties to avoid. 



We notice that where the bulbs were 

 evidently well ripened and of medium 

 size, even when potted three weeks later 

 they are now coming on strons and vis- 

 orous, whereas the very early shipments 

 run uneven in growth and do not move 

 so fast. I think our latest potted bulbs, 

 not yet up, will overtake the first. This 

 would indicate that the proper ripening 

 of the bulb is the main factor, and an 

 essential before early planting can be 

 successful. 



I like to put them as near the glass 

 as possible, and give air day and night 

 when practicable, starting in a night 

 temperature of 55 degrees if well rooted. 

 and raising the temperature gradually 

 until a maximum of 70 degrees at ni'jilit 

 is reached. AiiT.
