The Floiists' Review 



JvLt 9, 1914. 



We wish to call your attention to our crop of Roses grown specially for summer. It has been d mon 

 that the florist who offers good roses can do a nice, steady bueiness all summer — and here are the good ^oees:

A FINE LOT of BEAUTIES ^e'^Igths 



You can get here all the Summer Beauties your trade requires — good stock, as good as this market en 

 seen at this time of year. Any length you want, and at prices that should make it pay you to push them. 



EASTER LILIES 



The big, showy flower is the Easter Lily— the most for the 

 money in funeral work or decorations. We have fine Giganteums 

 by the thousands. 



GLADIOLI 



We are already getting a fine, large cut of Gladioli 

 be able to furnish any quantity from now on— plenty 

 Augusta and King. Use these— your trade will like them. 



Remember' that Randall's is headquarters for all Greens 

 Of course, we have SHASTA DAISIES, ORCHIDS, VALLEY, and all other stock in

Been. Both Bichmond and Milady are 

 abundant, the latter much the better. 

 Mrs. Ward, not a hot weather rose, 

 still is seen in good shape, but Sun- 

 burst is so much the best yellow that 

 it commands the bulk of the business 

 in this color. While roses are abund- 

 ant, prices seem to be all that the 

 growers could expect at this season 

 of the year. Beauties are not so 

 overplentiful as was the case in the 

 latter part of June. While some grow- 

 ers still cut heavily, the crops of 

 others have passed the peak. Average 

 prices are better. 



Carnations are disappearing, and 

 asters, while a few are received, are 

 not yet in large supply. This undoubt- 

 edly helps the sale of roses. Gladioli 

 are arriving much more plentifully this 

 week. The southern crops have been a 

 disappointment, due to dry weather, 

 but probably there will be an abund- 

 ance from now on. Easter lilies have 

 become good property and rubrums are 

 offered and sold in greater quantities 

 than ever before. Auratums have made 

 their appearance, but eandidums have 

 passed. The special demand for valley 

 has subsided. No large supplies of 

 cattleyas are needed and there is 

 plenty of fine stock. One grower still 

 has a quantity of peonies, from which 

 the market now draws its only supply. 

 Sweet peas have been in larger supply 

 the last few days, due to more favor- 

 able weather conditions last week. The 

 garden flowers all are abundant. It 

 is diflBcult to clean up, but large quan- 

 tities are sold at moderate prices. 



There is an abundance of all kinds of 

 greens and the demand is not active. 



Not all the buyers have been heed-

ful of the fact that the wholesale 

 houses now close at 5 p. m. Orders 

 have been coming late. It would be 

 well to remember that the market is 

 closing one hour earlier during the 

 summer. 



Shorter Hours. 



In discussing the proposition to 

 shorten business hours, George Asmus 

 says that the hours a retail store is 

 open must always depend on the loca- 

 tion of the store and the nature of the 

 business done. He says that a large 

 part of the business done at both the 

 Schiller stores is in the evening and 

 on Sunday. Sunday often turns out 

 the best day of the week. So import- 

 ant is the evening and Sunday busi- 

 ness that special arrangements are 

 made for handling it. The employees 

 are not asked to- work more than six 

 days a week, or more than ordinary 

 business hours. While the store is kept
