The Florists^ Review 



Jolt 6, 1916. 



START RIGHT 



Fall will be with us before we know it. A little reflection at this time of leisure may 

 prove very profitable to us later. The old saying, "In time of peace prepare for war," 

 should be applied to business, only in different wording, which would be, "In dull times 

 prepare for the rush season." Now you have tim6 for afterthought and forethought. 



This year we have the finest line of Baskets, Xmas Wreaths, and in fact everything 

 for the florist in the supply line that has ever been shown. Our men are out with a 

 full line, the prices of which are the usual Neidinger values, which almost every florist 

 knows to be the best on the market. 



We have made a thorough study of Florists' requirements in both new and old ideas 

 from a practical standpoint, so that not only the article is practical, but the price is 

 so reasonable that the florist can sell the goods in quantities. Don't fail to see our 

 line when our men are in your city. Am positive a visit will be to mutual benefit. 



For the florists whom our men might overlook, we shall publish a photo each consecu- 

 tive week of one of our basket numbers that is selling the best on the road, thus 

 giving every florist an opportunity of procuring the best quality for the least money 

 ever offered. WATCH OUR ADS.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The good old summer time is here; 

 in the wholesale cut flower market it 

 is called "the dead old summer time." 



Weddings, apart from the hasty nup- 

 tials of many of the soldiers mobilizing, 

 have become fewer daily, and school 

 commencements are over. As a result 

 the market has settled down to the 

 inevitable dullness of July and August. 



Roses are quoted at from 50 cents 

 per hundred for the short-stemmed stock 

 up to $20 per hundred for the few per- 

 fect American Beauties. There is no 

 surplus of roses, but a gradual decline 

 in values, which, doubtless, will con- 

 tinue until the new crop arrives. Val-
