PAGES OF RETAILEBS' CARDS 



This department for tbe cards of 

 Leading Retail Florists — tbose 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 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. 

 your customers know youj 

 can perform this service] 

 for them. To receive yourL 

 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 

 proportion. 



Why not send your order today — now 

 — before you forget it?

The Market. 



In spite of the week of excessively 

 hot weather, the cut flower market has 

 held up remarkably well. While it is 

 true that prices on the average are 

 rather low, 4^rge quantities of stock 

 have been moved. Some prominent per- 

 sons ' deaths called for more than the 

 usual amount of funeral work, which 

 accounted for the increased demand. 

 Asters of the better grades are sold 

 at a fair price, but thousands of short- 

 stemmed blooms go at the buyer's 

 price. In roses, Kadiance, Maryland 

 and Double White Killarney are the 

 easiest sold, providing they are of fair 

 quality. The shorter stock of Killarney 

 and White Killarney goes to the street 

 boys at sacrifice prices. Good white 

 roses were in demand all the week. 

 Gladioli are still a glut and are hardly 

 of as good quality as heretofore. Car- 

 nations are about over. 



Various Notes. 



Jos. Weiner has discontinued his 

 store at Charles and Franklin streets. 



L. B. Glick, of the Leo Niessen Co., 

 is off on a two weeks' vacation. 



Hamilton's Flower Shop is showing 

 a neat window decoration of fancy- 

 leaved caladiums and ferns. 



W. E. Milburn, of Middle River, is 

 shipping an average of 8,000 Wers 

 daily to the S. S. Pennock-MeehanCo. 

 They are of good quality and easily 

 disposed of.
