The Market. 



The market this week is steady. 

 There is a good supply of all seasonable 

 stock. The peony holds the center of 

 the stage. There were plenty for Memo- 

 rial day. There are enough good out- 

 door roses and those from the houses are 

 holding up well. Carnations are fast 

 passing. They are becoming small and 

 get sleepy fast. All miscellaneous 

 stock is in good supply and the demand 

 holds good. 



Bedding plants are selling well and at 

 prices never heard of before. The mar- 

 ket is satisfactory in every respect. 



Publicity and the Local Trade. 



Last week I spoke of the great mass 

 of flowers that were used in the inaugu- 

 ration of the new mayor and city coun- 

 cil. Everything was flowers, even to the 

 G. O. P. elephant. This goes to show 

 what the publicity campaign is doing 

 for the trade. In another part of this 

 issue The Eeview is reproducing a fac- 

 simile of a proclamation of the new 

 mayor for the return of our boys from 

 "over there." 



The local committee is just starting 

 out on a drive to get funds for this 

 worthy cause. The slogan, "Say It 

 with Flowers," is one of the best any 

 trade organization ever had. People are 

 beginning to use it; it is fast becoming 

 a byword with the public, just as 

 "There is a Reason" is with one of the 

 best selling breakfast foods. It is up to 

 the florists of our city to get behind this 

 campaign. 



The trade is beginning to wake up to 

 the good that publicity is doing. As I 

 go about the different stores I often 

 hear of instances of increased sales that 

 can be traced to this advertising. It 

 would be a great calamity to let this 

 campaign fail now that viqtory is in 

 sight and the trade is just beginning to 

 see results. And, while the last year 

 has been a strenuous one, each year in 

 the future will become easier. Too much 

 cannot be said for the faith of those 

 members of the national publicity com- 

 mittee who have given their time and 

 means to make this a success. At the 

 next meeting of the club, which will 

 be held in Royal Arcanum hall, "Pub- 

 licity" will be the feature of the eve- 

 ning. An effort will be made to find 

 out just how the publicity campaign has 

 helped business during a year that was 

 one of obstacles. William F. Ekas, 

 state vice-president of the S. A. F.,
