Tlila department for the cards of 

 Leading Retail norists — ^those flo- 

 rists wbo have the faculties for filling 

 the orders sent them hy 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 proflt 

 without effort) if you let 

 your customers know you I 

 can perform this service I 

 for them. To receive yourl 

 ■har»— 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?

The Market. 



Stock of all kinds is exceedingly 

 plentiful and the movement of even 

 fifty per cent of that received would 

 be satisfactory to the dealers. There 

 is a fair demand for gardenias, which 

 continue to arrive in pretty good shape, 

 but it is absolutely impossible to move 

 the surplus stock, regardless of low 

 ■prices. Indoor sweet peas are still to 

 be had, and sell well for use in wed- 

 ding decorations at about 50 cents per 

 hundred. Gladioli have been plentiful 

 at from $4 to $6 per hundred. Some 

 fine French hydrangeas, at from $9 

 to $18 per dozen, meet with a fair 

 sale. 



Business during June was quite sat- 

 isfactory, according to all reports. Wed- 

 ding work was heavier than a year ago, 

 and the business from schools and sem- 

 inaries was good. The city school au- 

 thorities, however, discouraged the giv- 

 ing of flowers to grammar school grad- 

 uates and so cut down the volume of 

 commencement business. 



Various Notes. 



George W. Hess, superintendent of 

 the United States Botanical Gardens, 

 will leave shortly for New York city, 

 where he will take passage for New 

 Orleans to become the guest in that 

 city of Senator Eobert F. Broussard. 

 Mr. Hess will be absent from the city 

 for a month or mgre.
