This department for the cards of 

 Leading Betail Florists — those flo- 

 rists who have the facilities 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 voliune will keep on increasing for 

 many years. 



Are you sending apd receiving your 

 share of these orders? Tou can send 

 your share (and make 20 per cent profit 

 without effort) if you let- 

 your ciistomers know you]

 for Retailers' cards remains the one 

 way of getting prompt action on the 

 order in hand.

 per week on a yearly order. This is 

 for one-inch space. Other spaces in

The Market. 



Business last wpek was not so good 

 as it should have been. The weather 

 was cool, but stock was plentiful, nev- 

 ertheless. Prices went down to rock 

 bottom. While there was no glut, the 

 stock was disposed of so cheaply that 

 much of it might have been thrown 

 away without much more loss. 



The crop of roses has decreased 

 greatly and some difficulty was ex- 

 ])erienced in filling all orders. Kussell 

 and Ophelia are scarce, and, in all 

 probability, will remain so for several 

 weeks. The stock is in fine condition, 

 however^ and is disposed of quickly. 

 Asters are plentiful and are being 

 cleaned up at ]>rices that are extremely 

 low even for this time or year. Gla- 

 dioli are not so i)lentiful as they have 

 been, but are being sold for almost 

 nothing. Valley is in good supply, but 

 there is no surplus, and the stock is 

 moving rea<li]y. Market conditions are 

 not so good as they have been, and it 

 probably will be several weeks before 

 normal conditions are rei'stablished. 



Various Notes. 



W. C. Zimnierniann has returned from 

 his western trip. He says he had a 

 fine time and is ready for another year 

 in the harness. 



A. Hare, with Holton & Hunkel Co., 

 returned August 25 from his vacation. 



Mr. and ^Mrs. .T. W. Ludwig, of 

 Pittsburgh, Pa., are to be visitors here 

 for some time. ]Mr. Tjiidwig states that
