THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



YOUR NEW YEAR ' 



The last day of June closes the business year for all of us. With the 



beginning of July we commence the new year. Will it be a prosperous 



one? That depends partly on circumstances, chiefly on ourselves, whether 



we maJse use of every opportunity. The temptation at this season is to ~ ^ 



cut down expenses unduly. Don't do it — have enough stock on hand to 



attract business. A few new Ferneries, some pretty Vases, Sunshine 



Baskets, Magnolia Leaves, Fern Leaves, Cycas Leaves and,. Wheat Sheaves 



are sure to be useful and to increase your receipts. May we send them 



to you?

The closing week of June was fairly 

 good locally. There were quite a num- 

 ber of large affairs that utilized the bet- 

 ter stock. Average prices, however, 

 were, at the best^ 'O^nly fair, because of 

 the large amount o£ poorer stock, which 

 sold at almost any price the wholesalers 

 could get for it. The number of flow- 

 ers coming in is rapidly declining to 

 the usual almost short July supply. 

 Shipping business is good. 



The rose supply," while still large, is 

 shortening considerably; choice stock 

 finds a fair market. The continued hot 

 weather has had its effect on carnations. 

 ., tCBey have decreased in size until now 

 they are much smaller than normal. 

 There is a strong demand for sweet 

 peas, but most of , "the receipts in this 

 line have everything but actual quality 

 or good condition. The few good ones 

 that come in are snapped up quickly, 

 while many are entirely unfit for any- 



thing but the ash barrel. The supply 

 of lilies is large and their quality is ex- 

 cellent. The gladiolus cut is increasing 

 and they are proving good property. 

 The green goods supply is ample. •
