The Florists^ Review 



Febbuabx 10, 1916. 



Are You Collecting 

 Every Charge Account? 



It Can Be Done— You Can Do It 



It is the "bane of existence" for most florists 

 to collect promptly from their charge customers. 



In most cases collections are away below nor- 

 mal, and, in some instances, because he fails 

 to know how to go about it. 



This firm has had more than one million dol- 

 lars' worth of business in the past ten years. 

 One-half of this business has been 

 charged on our books. 



It has meant years of study for us to know 

 how to make this possible. 



We Will Tell You How 



Just send us $5.00 and we will send you 

 copies of four letters that will get the money. 



Don't hesitate; it will make you happier — will 

 take you out of the "also-ran" class and make 

 you a Class A flower merchant.

Because of the absence of President- 

 elect Carl Becherer, President McCallum 

 presided over the meeting. The mem- 

 bers gave a vote of thanks to President 

 McCallum for his efficient work during 

 his term of office. 



A lecture on "The City Beautiful" 

 was given. It was the best and most 

 instructive lecture of its kind ever 

 given before the club. Lantern slides 

 were shown, giving comparisons of what 

 we have and what we might have. 



Various Notes. 



George Marshall has returned from 

 his honeymoon in Florida. He is re- 

 ceiving the congratulations due him.

The Market. 



Stock is more plentiful than at the 

 last writing, notwithstanding the fact 

 that today, February 7, the thermom- 

 eter registers 2 degrees below zero. Car- 

 nations have dropped in price, as the 

 supply is more normal. Roses are still 

 scarce and command a high •fi^re. 

 Spencer sweet peas are more plentiful 

 and all kinds of bulbous stock are com- 

 ing into the market in larger quantities. 

 Narcissi are quite plentiful and daffo- 

 dils and jonquils may be had in reason- 

 able quantities, as well as freesias. Tu- 

 lips are not so plentiful. Violets are 

 abundant and are great favorites this

year in corsages. Lilies are still hold- 

 ing their own and valley is in good 

 supply. 



The demand has been unusually good 

 during the last two weeks. There have 

 been large decorations and a great many 

 corsage and wedding bouquet orders. 

 Funeral work was heavier during the 



month of January than in any other 

 month of the season. There was no 

 great demand for carnations on McKin- 

 ley's day, probably due to the fact that 

 the florists did not advertise this day. 

 The new offerings on the market in- 

 clude Eoman hyacinths, forget-me-nots, 

 mignonette and marguerites.
