PAGES OF BETAILEBS' CARDS 



This department for the cards of 

 Leading Betail Florists — those flo- 

 rists who have the facilities for filling 

 the orders sent them by other florists — 

 has made possible the recent rapid de- 

 velopment of this branch of the busi- 

 ness, a branch of the trade now estab- 

 lished for all time and so helpful that 

 its volume will keep on increasing for 

 many years. 



Are you sending and receiving your 

 share of these orders? You can send 

 your share (and make 20 per cent profit 

 without effort) if you let 

 your customers know you 

 can perform this service 

 for them. To receive your' 

 share — ^well, The Review's department 

 for Retailers' 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 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 Ghrlst- 

 mas amovmting to |142.50. 



I think that is doing fairly well.

The Market. 



Despite the fact that business in 

 other lines has been dull, the florists' 

 trade has been fair all winter and the 

 business in March picked up wonder- 

 fully. Nearly all florists are feeling 

 the awakening of spring trade. The 

 weather still is cold, but it is hoped 

 Easter will be much warmer, so that 

 plants will not need heavy wrappings. 

 There is an abundance of all kinds of 

 cut flowers and plants for Easter. Har- 

 risii, Formosa and speciosum lilies are 

 especially fine. Excellent lavender and 

 pink rhododendrons are seen. 



The present cut of roses is heavy and 

 nearly all varieties are to be had. Had- 

 ley, Russell and Ophelia, however, are 

 off crop. Beauties are scarce and will 

 undoubtedly bring a good price for 

 Easter. Bulbous stock is plentiful. 

 Cut spring flowers, such as snapdrag- 

 ons, mignonette, yellow and white mar- 

 guerites, Roman hyacinths, pansies, 

 myosotis, sweet peas, narcissi, freesias, 

 swainsonas, pussy willows, etc., will be 

 abundant. There is a lull in trade 

 at present, as is usual just before the 

 Easter rush. 



Various Notes. 



L. H. Neubeck is having his store 

 front painted in green and white, add- 

 ing a great deal to the attractiveness 

 of the place. His Easter stock is in 

 splendid condition. There is also a 

 great variety of plants, including some 

 unusual coronillas for his Easter trade.
