npHE original Album of Designs was published in response to many inquests from florists who felt the need for 

 ^ an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets, 

 Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the flnished article as 

 it would be when ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to show the finished work 

 in beautifully printed pictures. The flrst edition sold like hot cakes, a second and third edition went quickly. Now 

 a fourth edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard designs and many new pieces. 



96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully printed on 

 heavy art paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear

The Market. 



During the last week large quantities 

 of flowers have flooded the wholesale 

 houses, and prices on nearly all items 

 have been low. There has been a de- 

 cided lull in business, and consequently 

 stock has remained on sale longer than 

 usual. The peony season, two weeks 

 later than usual, is now at its height. 

 The earlier varieties drag somewhat, but 

 the week-end trade cleared several large 

 batches. An oversupply of carnations 

 prevails, the demand at this time not 

 being large enough to clear the blooms, 

 which are in good condition. The sup- 

 ply of roses is large, but the cuts fail to 

 clear as quickly as they might. Fine 



Ophelia, Eussell, Ward and Maryland 

 roses sell well. 



There are a number of weddings, but 

 most of them are small. Funeral work, 

 also, is somewhat slow, although the 

 Saturday trade was large. Commence- 

 ment and graduation exercises start 

 next week, and the trade looks for bet- 

 ter business. 



A large quantity of Easter lilies drags 

 heavily. Indoor peas are becoming 

 poor, only a few especially good ones 

 reaching the market. They sell readily, 

 as do pink snapdragons. Yellow and 

 white daisies sell well. Orchids are 

 scarce and stocks are in small supply. 

 Gladioli sell well, a number of double 

 poeticus narcissi are offered and bach- 

 elor's buttons meet with favor. A good 

 supply of irises continues to arrive.
