THIS department for the caxdi of 

 Leading Retail Florists — ^those flo- 

 rists who have the facilities for dllinf 

 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- 

 lished for all time and so he^iful that 

 its Tolnme will keep on increasing for 

 many years.

 ihare of these orders? You can send

A few weeks ago I started a snail 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 Ohrlst- 

 mas amounting to $143.50. 



I think that is doing fairly well. , 

 Respectfully yo\irs,"

Business has taken a considerable 

 slump since last week's report' was 

 written. We had extraordinarily warm 

 weather for a number of days, which 

 caused the flowers to come along with 

 a rush, while the demand seemed to 

 decline. During the hot weather flow- 

 ers arrived quite soft; violets, in par- 

 ticular, suflfered severely. Special 

 Beauties are scarce, but the demand is 

 light. Short-stemmed stock is abun- 

 dant. Short-stemmed hybrid teas are 

 down once more to $1 per hundred and 

 are moving with greater difficulty. Se- 

 lect Ophelia, Russell, Hadley and Kil- 

 larney Queen still bring good prices, 

 but the older varieties are much lower. 

 Some nice Taft is seen and sells well. 

 Prince d'Arenberg from one or two 

 growers is good. Carnations in a few 

 cases reach $4, but the bulk of the flow- 

 ers sold realize only half this price. 

 Pink Delight remains the leader. 



Sweet peas are now fine and much 

 more plentiful. Some specials make $2 

 per hundred, but the general average is 

 35c to $1 per hundred. Violets con- 

 tinue to sell at low prices. Bulbous 

 stock is getting somewhat more un- 

 wieldy, but has cleaned up remarkably 

 well, everything considered. Freesias are 

 plentiful; so are yellow marguerites. 

 Trade on the latter is not so good. 

 Pink snapdragon sells much better than 

 white and other colors. Gardenias go 

 slowly; the same holds true of cat-
