Brooklyn* 



Business «, among the wholesalers of 

 Brooklyn is progressing satisfactorily. 

 But in no other city, perhaps, in the 

 country does the same system of distri- 

 bution prevail. "Without the telephone 

 there would be no wholesaling in the city 

 of churches. Every order comes by 

 phone and delivery is made by boy ex- 

 press. The number of youngsters kept 

 hustling up to noon delivering the goods 

 would surprise you. Some of the whole- 

 salers have a dozen on the list of ' ' get 

 theres. " It is the custom made natural 

 by years of New York tuition before 

 Brooklyn boasted a wholesale florist, and 

 the habit cannot be overcome. Bonnet 

 & Blake, W. H. Kuebler, Hicks & Craw- 

 buck and Henry R. Crawbuck make up 

 the quartet and their large, up-to-date 

 establishments and growing trade speak 

 encouragingly for the system and hope- 

 fully for the future. The number of re- 

 tail florists in Brooklyn at the present 

 rate of increase ought to total half a 

 thousand before 1908.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Weather conditions were against the 

 retail trade last week and the week 

 ended with not much doing except fu- 

 neral work, a few small weddings and 

 dinner parties. 



The wholesalers have been up against 

 it on roses the last two weeks. Extra 

 fine, long Beauties are out of question 

 in this market and, of course, prices are 

 away up on all stock. 



Carnations have been abundant but 

 are cleaned up pretty well each morning, 

 owing to the scarcity of roses. More 

 Enchantress than any other variety is in 

 the market. There are a few extra fancy 

 Lawson. There are plenty of splits in 

 reds; plenty of all grades in white. 



Violets are somewhat scarce. Extra 

 quality California are up to 75 cents and 

 $1 per hundred, 



Callas are coming in more freely. Some 

 extra fine valley is seen in the market 

 this week. Paper Whites are scarce.

Romans are equal to all demands, also
