 Leading Betail Florists — those flo- 

 rists who have the facilities lor fllUng 

 the orders sent them by other florists —

 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.

 tion.

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.

The Market. 



The wholesale market conditions last 

 week were even worse than those of 

 the previous week. While the demand 

 was better for the higher grade of 

 stock, the increased shipments more 

 than offset this advantage. The prices 

 obtained for some of the stock hardly 

 paid the cost of cutting. Overproduc- 

 tion has glutted the market the last 

 two weeks and not dull business in re- 

 tail circles, as reports from them show 

 that business has not been bad since 

 Easter. Funeral work has been quite 

 plentiful, as well as social work. The 

 stock coming daily to this market 

 is not up to the standard quality. The 

 medium grade is generally bought by 

 the downtown florists and department 

 stores for bargain sales. Where 

 transient trade is heavy during the 

 week, florists in other Vparts of the city 

 buy the better grade of stock for their 

 regular patrons. 



Sweet peas and narcissi are in heav- 

 iest supply of any of the cut stock. 

 Roses in all varieties are abundant, 

 grading among them some excellent 

 stock. Carnations are in heavy supply, 

 with the Enchantress varieties much in 

 evidence. Bulbous stock is plentiful. 

 The southern stock stagnates the mar- 

 ket. Tulips, daffodils, Easter lilies, 

 callas, valley and narcissi are hard to 

 dispose of at any price. Snapdragon 

 has little demand. All kinds of greens 

 have been in excellent demand, with 

 prices as usual. 



Various Notes. 



The County Growers' Association 

 will hold no meeting next month, owing 

 to the busy planting season. The meet-
