THIS department for the cards of 

 Iieadlng Betall Florists — ^ttaose flo- 

 zlsti wbo have the facilities for filling 

 the orders sent them by other florists — 

 has made possible the recent 

 rapid deyelopment of this 

 branch of the business, a 

 branch of the trade now estab- 

 Blshed for all time and so helpful that 

 its Tolnme will keep on increasing for 

 many years. 



Are you sending and receiving your 

 share of these orders? Ton can send 

 your share (and make 20 per cent profit 

 without effort) If you let your custom- 

 ers know you can perform this service 

 for them. To receive your share— well. 

 The Beview's department for Betailers' 

 cards remains the one way of getting 

 prompt action on the order in hand. 



To be represented costs only 70 cents 

 per week on a yearly order. This is for 

 one-inch space. Other spaces in propor- 

 tion. 



Why not send your order today — ^now 

 — before you forget it?

Gentlemen:- 



A few weeks ago I started a small card in the 

 Retailers* Telegraph Delivery department of The Review. 



I have paid you only $3.50 so far. And this is 

 what happened: 



I received orders for Wyoming delivery at Christ- 

 mas amounting to $143.50* 



I think that is doing fairly well. 



Respectfully yours.

The Market. 



Stock has shown considerable im- 

 provement during the last week. Busi- 

 ness, while quiet, seems to be showing 

 some improvement generally, and while 

 there is much room for additional in- 

 crease, the present is not nearly so bad 

 as it might be. 



Eoses have increased in supply and 

 are more plentiful than they have been. 

 Short grades are still scarce, but long 

 stock is in suflScient supply • to offset 

 this shortage. Of course, long stock 

 is bringing better prices, but it is only 

 necessary to pay a fair price to get 

 plenty of roses for all orders. Fancy 

 roses are in small supply; in fact, they 

 are practically out of the market at 

 this time. Those varieties that are not 

 off crop are being propagated heavily, 

 and the supply is down to a minimum. 

 Killarney seems to be the only excep- 

 tion and this is in good supply. 



Carnations have increased in quan- 

 tity, and the quality remains quite good. 

 Sales of this stock seem to be a little 

 healthier and prospects are better than 

 they have been since Christmas. 



The supply of violets has fallen off 

 to a great entent, but the quality of 

 the stock has shown no deterioration. 

 Single violets are scarce and the de- 

 mand far exceeds the supply. Prices 

 have advanced as the supply has de- 

 creased, and the revenue from sales is 

 not a great deal less. 



Valley is still plentiful, and sales 

 are slow. Spring stock is coming in
