This department for tlie cards of 

 Leading Retail Florists — those flo- 

 rists wbo 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 btud- 

 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 

 four customers know youj 

 can perform this service 

 for them. To receive youij 

 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?

The school exercises caused a larger 

 demand for flowers than in any pre- 

 vious year. Roses were used more 

 than anything else, especially red and 

 white. There were plenty to meet the 

 demand, but they brought good prices. 

 That funeral work was heavier last 

 week than usual is the report of most 

 of the retailers and June wedding or- 

 ders are larger than ever before, from 

 all reports. Never has there been so 

 much rain at this time of the year, 

 but the cool weather is a help to the 

 cut flower growers, as good stock is 

 being sent in. 



Various Notes, 



At the June club meeting it was 

 decided that a picnic will be held 

 July 28 at Holsinger Bros,' grove, on 

 the Hocker Grove line. It is planned 

 for every florist, nurseryman, seedsman 

 and gardener to make it a holiday and 

 close his place of business for that 

 day. 



Miss Marian Newell, for whom a 

 chrysanthemum was named, is a gradu- 

 ate of Westport High school this 

 spring. Walter Newell is at home for 

 his summer vacation from the state 

 university, where he is taking an agri- 

 cultural course. Arthur Newell is the 

 proud father of these two young 

 people. 



T. J, Noll reports business a decided 

 increase over last year at this time.
