The Market. 



Cooler weather has toned up business 

 somewhat the last week and stock at 

 the wholesale markets showed better 

 quality. While extra prime stock is 

 still limited, there is an abundance of 

 anything seasonable to be had daily. 

 Prices .-ire still low and the retailer 

 with a bifj job on his hands has had 

 things pretty much his own way in 

 buying. Several bargain sales adver- 

 tised by the downtown florists some- 

 what relieved the market of the great 

 surplus that accumulated daily, after 

 the morning sales were over. Several 

 good rains during the week gave fresh 

 life to all outdoor flowers. 



The consignments of asters have 

 greatly increased, while gladioli have 

 decreased. Roses are in abundance in all 

 varieties and grades, especially in Co- 

 lumbia, while other varieties arc more 

 than the demand calls for. Carnations 

 are improving in flower and stem. With 

 cool nights from now on, speedy i)n- 

 provements in quantity and quality 

 should be in evidence in another week. 

 A few mums, Golden Glow, are arriving, 

 but there are not enough for market 

 quotations. Growers of mums say the 

 crop will bo large this season. Dahlia 

 shipments, too, have greatly increased 

 find all markets have more than thev 



Can You Tell 

 When You 

 Sell A Man? 



Now honest, can you? 



You can tell when he buys. 



But can you tell ivhen you have sold him? 



What made me ask was, that yesterday 

 in came a very stylishly dressed man 

 and wife, and bought a jolly good lot of 

 flowers for "a little dinner," as they ex- 

 pressed it. 



Just before leaving, the gentleman said: 

 "Do you know, Mr. Stumpp, how I came 

 to buy these flowers of you today? Did 

 it because you sold them to me six 

 months ago. You didn't know when you 

 sold me— but /did. 



"We only bought one of your $5 

 Hobby Boxes then, but the courtesy and 

 attention your salesman gave us, made 

 us feel like a million dollars. 

 "You never really know when you sell a 

 man. All you know is when he buys." 



After which, I called the boys together 

 and we had a little talk among ourselves 

 about courtesy; its money-making value.

(■:iii handle at present. Gladiolus spikes 

 are nearing their end and the market 

 clears on them daily. 



There are still many flowers from out- 

 doors coming in, which have a good de- 

 mand, for use in window displays. 

 Valley and lilies hold their own in price, 

 as they are not in abundance. Asters 

 were in such great abundance last Aveek 



that prices dropped badly and buyers in 

 big lots made their own price. In 

 greens the market was in good condi- 

 tion and the demand consumed the sup- 

 ply almost daily; especially was this so 

 in asparagus and fancy ferns.
