TUs department for the cards of 

 Leading Retail 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 wiU keep on increasing for 

 many years. 



Are you sending and receiving yoiur 

 share of these orders? Tou can send 

 your share (and make 20 per cent profit 

 without effort) if you let

 for them. To receive yourl 

 share — well, The Beview'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?

If there is any improvement in mar- 

 ket conditions, it is hard to find. We 

 have had considerable cold and dark 

 weather, following a brief heat wave, 

 but flowers seem to be as numerous as 

 ever. May 1 saw a fair demand for 

 flowers suitable for baskets, but this 

 did not seem to relieve the congestion 

 much. All hopes are now built on 

 Mothers' day trade. This day is being 

 pushed more than ever, and a good mar- 

 ket is looked for. Roses continue de- 

 cidedly druggy. Prices vary from $1 

 to $8, except for really fancy flowers; 

 some blooms are cleared at even lower 

 prices. Beauties drag. The best sellers 

 are Prince d'Arenberg, a rose which is 

 becoming more appreciated; Russell, 

 which is not abundant; Hadley, Rich- 

 mond, Taft, Ophelia and Killarney 

 Queen. Yellows seem to be off crop 

 with nearly all growers. Carnations go 

 rather slowly, b-ut the present week 

 sees a slightly better call for them, 

 Violets are done. Sweet peas are abun- 

 dant. Good Spencers bring $1 per hun- 

 dred; some go at this price per thou- 

 sand to clear. 



Indoor Dutch bulbous flowers are 

 nearing the end. Outdoor supplies com- 

 pete with them, and prices are poor, 

 Spanish iris continues to sell unsatis- 

 factorily. Yellow marguerites are in 

 heavy supply and a trifle lower in 

 price, but make a good clean-up. Cal- 

 endulas are a glut. Snapdragons, ex- 

 cept pink shades, are not wanted, 

 Callas, lilies, candytuft and English 

 primroses are not selling well. Valley 

 moves a trifle better. In addition to 

 the small-flowered gladioli, small lots 

 of America, Peace and Mrs, F, King
