The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 22, 1905. 



SOUTH BEND, IND. 



The following is from the Times of 

 June 13 and tells the whole story: 



There has been considerable rivalry 

 between the florists of this city lately, 

 which culminated last Sunday in roses 

 and carnations being offered as low as 

 10 cents per dozen. The demoralized con- 

 dition of the Chicago market the past 

 week is partly responsible for the ridic- 

 ulous prices. These conditions are spas- 

 modic, however, and not at all to be 

 depended upon. Ordinarily nothing but 

 the cheapest grade of fakir stock, which 

 cannot withstand shipment, is to be ob- 

 tained at such prices. Good carnations 

 cannot be sold at any time for less than 

 50 cents per dozen without a sacrifice. 

 There is a class of people, however, who 

 cannot afford even so small a price for 

 flowers and these can be taken care of 

 by having special sale days when the 

 dealers can order flowers in lots of 

 several thousand at greatly reduced 

 prices, and by eliminating the expense 

 of making up and delivering, the flowers 

 can be sold at 25 cents per dozen with 

 a small margin of profit. This applies 

 only to the summer season. Fall and 

 winter prices are regulated by the 

 greater scarcity of stock due to the prac- 

 tice of starting new plants every sum- 

 mer, and also to the fact that the dull, 

 cloudy weather and short days of early 

 winter retards the growth of the plants. 



The florists of the city were wise in 

 burying their hatchets so soon, for the 

 cessation of hostilities means a better 

 quality of flowers for the public and liv- 

 ing prices to the men who are obliged 

 to work seven days in the week and from 

 fourteen to twenty-four hours per day. 



We, the undersigned, florists of the city of 

 South Bend, do hereby agree to sell carnations 

 and roses at 50 cents and $1.00 per dozen, re- 

 spectively, until further notice. 



The following discounts are agreed upon: 

 100, 10 per cent; 250, 15 per cent; 500, 20 per 

 cent; 1.000. 25 per cent. ' • v 



We further agree that on Wednesday of 

 each week, until further notice, we shall sell 

 the above named flowers at 25 cents and 50 

 cents per dozen, respectively, ft>r the accom- 

 modation of people of limited means. At thes-* 

 prices, however, the flowers will be neither 

 delivered nor made up Into designs without 

 extra charge, and no discount will be given.
