A GOOD INVESTMENT. 



Enclosed please find my check for $1.40 

 in payment for my half-inch card one 

 month in the department for Leading 

 Retail Florists in the Review. This has 

 been a good investment for me ever since 

 I made the yearly contract, and is get- 

 ting better right along.

The Market 



With pleasant weather, Decoration day 

 brought forth a lively demand for all 

 classes of stock, and a good cleanup for 

 everyone. The worst feature of the busi- 

 ness was that enough flowers to fill all 

 orders could not be found. Many orders 

 that had been taken in advance could not 

 be filled in full, and many customers had 

 to be disappointed. But this was one of 

 the things that are bound to happen in 

 this business now and then; there were 

 simply not enough flowers to go around. 

 As a consequence, the price of stock was 

 boosted as high as possible, and it did 

 not stop the buyers; they just took all 

 they CQuld get and never said a word 

 about the price. So, all in all, though 

 many more flowers could have been dis- 

 posed of to advantage, the increased 

 price paid for the available stock prob- 

 ably brought the total sales up to what 

 they would have been had there been 

 plenty of stock. 



Peonies are the flowers for Decoration 

 day, and they are to that day what the 

 lily is to Easter. The demand for them 

 was great, and could not be supplied. 

 There were great quantities to be had, 

 but the fact that the local crop is late 

 this year made a great difference in the 

 supply of this flower, and also tended to 

 put the price up to an attractive figure. 

 All the peonJtes sold in this market were 

 shipped in from more favored districts. 

 Many small growers were able to reap a 

 rich harvest on this account. Within a 

 week the local crop will be in, and then 

 we shall be crowded with these flowers, 

 and it is to be hoped that there will be 

 some business to run them out. 



Prospects for a continuation of good 

 business are bright. We are having some
