Gentlemen: - 



A few weeks ago I started a small card in the 

 Retailers' Telegraph Delivery department of The Review. 



I have paid you only 13.50 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,

Continuously clear skies have so far 

 been our lot in March. Not a drop of 

 rain nor a flake of snow has fallen; 

 everything is perilously dry and blaz- 

 ing woodlands are common. The 

 weather has been favorable for a heavy 

 output of flowers, far more than can 

 be profitably disposed of. Funeral or- 

 ders have used considerable material; 

 so have the big dry goods stores for 

 their spring openings. Except for 

 these outlets, conditions would be ex- 

 tremely bad. Roses are cleaning up 

 with greater difficulty, short and me- 

 dium grades selling far better than 

 fancies. A few fancy Beauties on 6- 

 foot stems have made $6 per dozen, 

 but they are hard to move at this 

 price. Ophelia is still in great demand. 

 Hadley is a great favorite, its delight- 

 ful odor being a strong factor in its 

 favor. Russell, Double White Killar- 

 ney, Taft, Sunburst, Killarney Queen 

 and Crimson Queen are other favorites. 

 Carnations mostly go at $2 and $3 

 per hundred, a few higher but more 

 lower. The quality remains excellent, 

 and a heavy Easter crop seems assured. 

 Single violets are cleaning up fairly 

 well, but at unprofitably low prices. 

 Doubles do not sell well. The likeli- 

 hood is for a small Easter crop of sin- 

 gles, as the plants are now making 

 heavy foliage, which means the near 

 end of the flowering season. Sweet 

 peas are abundant and good. Colored 

 varieties sell well. Dutch bulbous
