This department for the cards of 

 Leading Betail 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 will keep on increasing for 

 many years. 



Are you sending and receiving your 

 share of these orders? Ton can send 

 your share (and make 20 per cent profit 

 without effort) if you let. 

 your customers know you] 

 can perform this service] 

 for them. To receive your| 

 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. 



The market last week was in an over- 

 crowded condition. But for funeral 

 work, business would 'have been at a 

 standstill. Local retailers bought spar- 

 ingly. Moderate weather prevailed, and 

 it looked as if summer would pass with 

 little sultry weather. The bulk of the 

 cut stock arriving consists of roses, of 

 which the majority are short-stemmed. 

 Ophelia, Russell and Hadley have long 

 stems, and are of better quality than 

 Killarheys, Kichmond and Ward, which 

 are in greater supply. Beauties are 

 scarce. Carnations are poor, and a 

 good supply arrives daily from the field. 

 Asters come in large numbers. The 

 light shades have the call. Firpt qual- 

 ity stock demands $3 per hundred. 

 Heavy outside shipments of gladioli 

 caused a big slump in the price of home- 

 grown stock. The supply of single ever- 

 blooming tuberoses greatly exceeds the 

 demand. There is a quantity of com- 

 mon outdoor stock on band most of the 



time. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 St. Louis Florists' Club was held Au- 

 gust 12, at Joseph Hauser's dahlia 

 farm, Webster Groves, Mo. It was by 

 far the largest attended meeting of the 

 year. The fifty members, together with 

 ten visitors, who made the trip, were 

 loud in their praise of the manner in 

 which they were entertained by Mr. 

 and Mrs. Hauser. An inspection of the
