" THE SIGN OF A 

 NATIONAL FLORIST 



NATIONAL FLORAL CORPORATION 



The only organization in the United States for the sole purpose of educating the general 

 public— the people who buy— to buy more flowers, especially as gifts to friends out of town 

 in place of other presents. 



No commission to be paid for the orders received. 

 Tlie business will come direct from the customer. 

 All the National Florist will have to do is deliver 

 the flowers in good taste and in good order, and keep 

 the cash. It will be a cash-'^vltli-order business. 



D 



The National Floral Corporation wants one ex- 

 clusive representative florist in each city in Amer- 

 ica to take care of the orders which will be 

 created by the advertising service this corpora- 

 tion will render. The best florist is wanted.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



A dull w|«k was the last; prices were; 

 barely steadyi^ with a downward ten- 

 <lency.* There was the usual clean-up on 

 Saturday by the large buyers at about 

 their own prices. "Why give quota- 

 tionst" one wholesaler asks me. 

 ' ' There is no solid ground to build 

 values on." 



The shipments during the last week 

 have been light, and demand the same. 

 There are now plenty Of American 

 Beauties, and a top of $15 per hundred 

 for the best of these is a fair indica- 

 tion of the trend of all roses, the short- 

 stemmed falling as low as 50 cents per 

 hundred. The rose novelties now are 

 few, and prices for them are unchange- 

 able. 



Carnations are not overabundant. 

 One order of over 50,000 created con- 

 siderable stir in the market. Wards 

 seem to be still the favorite variety. 

 Prices range from 50 cents per hundred 

 up to $2 for the novelties. 



Lilies are down again to $3 and $4 

 per hundred, and are abundant. There 

 will doubtless be the usual improve- 

 ment for Memorial day. There is an 

 overabundance of valley; prices range 

 from $2 per hundred down. The out- 

 door stock is increasing daily. The 

 street merchants offer it and gardenias 

 and, sweet peas everywhere. Orchids 

 are in heavy supply at about the same

quotations as a week ago. There are 

 plenty of gladioli, tulips, callas, lilac 

 and spring flowers of every popular 

 variety. 



Various Notes. 



Jos. Trepel, of Brooklyn, had an or- 

 aer Saturday, May 15, that involved 

 1,400 deliveries Sunday before 8 a. m., 

 to the Zionist Society of Brooklyn, the 

 order calling for 56,000 carnations and 

 14,000 roses. 



The death of Fred Weir, a member 

 of the old firm of James Weir's Sons,

Eeed & Keller have four floors of 

 novelties and standards in baskets and 

 supplies. An average of one new de- 

 sign or basket or stand a week is main- 

 tained, Mr. Eeed tells me. An exhibit 

 at San Francisco is planned, and Mr. 

 and Mrs. Reed will, attend the meeting 

 of the S. A. F. there. 



Young & Nugent sent a number of
