The Market. 



All growers, wholesalefs and retail- 

 ers in this locality report that business 

 for Mothers' day was the best ever. 

 Stock was not overplentiful, but there 

 was enough to go the rounds and prices 

 were satisfactory. The only flowers 

 that rose much in price, were carna- 

 tions, which brought $15 per hundred. 

 By Sunday morning nothing was left 

 in roses or carnations and at that time 

 many hundreds more could have been 

 sold had they been obtainable. 



The market during the last week has 

 been good, no particular let-up being 

 noticed. A brisk demand for cut flow- 

 ers keeps up, owing to several good- 

 sized weddings and an abundance of 

 funeral work all the time. The supply 

 of roses is larger and the average qual- 

 ity is good. Weather conditions during 

 the last week have been more favorable 

 and stock is plentiful. All grades of 

 roses are in full supply and include 

 Columbia, Ward, Sunburst, September 

 Morn, Hoosier Beauty, Shawyer, Eus- 

 sell, Ophelia, Milady, Prima Donna and 

 Sweetheart. Prices range from 4 cents 

 up. Orchids are in good supply, but 

 there is no particular demand. Snap- 

 dragons are plentiful and are seen in 

 all colors. Sweet peas also are plenti- 

 ful and the majority of excellent qual- 

 ity. They range from $1.50 per hun- 

 dred up. Daisies are plentiful and sell 

 well. 



Easter lilies are in good supply at 

 this time, but the demand is not large. 

 Callas are plentiful and a fair amount 

 of yellow callas is seen in some stores. 

 Carnations are none too plentiful and 

 command good prices. Calendulas are 

 abundant and sell well. Much Spanish 

 iris is on hand and is decidedly fine. 

 There is some good delphinium arriv- 

 ing and it sells well. Cut candytuft of 

 good quality arrives and sells easily. 

 Bulbous stock, both inside and out, is 

 fast waning and becomes more scarce 

 each day. Extra fine Darwin tulips are 

 seen and sell readily. Pansies and for- 

 get-me-nots are in fair supply and sell 



What ar« they? 



They are 4-inch reproductions of emblems in the highest-class Odd and Color 

 embossing that can be done. 



How docs th« Florist uso thorn? 



They are attached to the ribbon or chifiFon of any floral piece. 

 Why aro thoy of such holp to tho Florist? 



1. The florist can use any color of flowers in the design, as the colors demanded by 

 each organization are embossed on the FRAT-M. 



2. The florist does not have to worry about keeping a large stock of wire designs 

 on hand; any pillow, spray or wreath, at the price the organization wants to pay, 

 becomes a special fraternal piece by simply attaching a FRAT-M. 



3. They do away with the nuisance of lettering, and the keeping of a supply of 

 letters on hand. 



4. They get new standing business for the florist who uses them, for any small 

 organization can get its emblem on any priced piece purchased. 



5. They are worth many times their cost, if they were used for door badges alone. 



What do they cost? 



They cost 20c each, or f 2.00 a dozen, and if you will give them a trial, they will do 

 for you what they have done for us. The dies to make each emblem average a cost 

 of $75.00. and yet they are worth that to us in OUR retail business alone. A hust- 

 ling florist will find them a great help. If you will sit down right now and send an 

 order to your supply house, or to us personally, you will find we have told you the 

 truth.
