Neatness in flower delivery^ 



You want your flowers neatly packed when 

 they are delivered; "neatness" is just the 



word we've had in mind in making the Sefton Flower Boxes. 

 They are the right packages for good flowers. Made in 

 styles and shades to meet every need. Ask your paper 

 jobber.

The Market. 



Wholesale prices were high again last 

 week, so high that florists who have 

 a medium-class trade bought only spar- 

 ingly. With carnations costing 4 and 5 

 cents each wholesale, and chrysanthe- 

 mums running from $3 to $5 a dozen, 

 florists who have but little trade in 

 wealthy circles find it diflScult to 

 charge a price that will allow a fair 

 profit. While carnations and chrysan- 

 themums are improving in quality, they 

 are not yet up to the best standard. 

 The chrysanthemums are good, but are 

 the smaller varieties. The growers are 

 much pleased with the condition of 

 their plants, and it will be only a cou- 

 ple of weeks or so before there will be 

 an abundance of the finest of blooms. 

 Recent frosts have injured the asters. 

 Considerable numbers are still coming 

 to the market, but they are far less 

 abundant than they were and the qual- 

 ity is poor. They help in the making 

 of funeral pieces until better flowers 

 can be secured at reasonable prices. 

 Roses are fairly abundant and of good 

 quality. Orchids are fine and quite 

 plentiful; they bring a good price. 

 There are soijae fine dahlias in the mar- 

 ket, bnt the frosts have begun to hit 

 this crop. 



General business conditions continue 

 to improve and the florists' business re-
