EXCHANGE ORDERS. 



When a florist sends an order to a 

 florist in another city to be executed 

 there, is it customary that a trade dis- 

 count be allowed, and if so, what per 

 cent? S. F. C. 



Unless the florist who sends the order 

 states in the order that it is to cost him 

 so much net, it would be understood that 

 he was to receive a trade discount, gen- 

 erally twenty per cent. Consequently, if 

 Jones wires Smith to send "ten dollar 

 wreath" to the Eobinson funeral, Jones 

 expects to get a bill for $10 less twenty 

 per cent, but if he says to send "Eobin- 

 son funeral wreath ten dollars net" he- 

 expects to pay Smith the full amount and 

 looks to his customer for his own profit.

Trade Conditions. 



Bargain sales of sweet peas, 10 cents 

 for bunches of twenty-five, offered by 

 dry goods, department and drug stores, 

 have been the feature of the week. 



In the main, flowers have been rather 

 scarce and poor. There is practically 

 nothing in the market but roses, carna- 

 tions and sweet peas, and none of these 

 are worth bragging about. Social work 

 is over and about all that keeps the re- 

 tailers from spending their time sleeping 

 or reading the papers is an occasional 

 funeral order. 



With the Societies. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Ehode 

 Island will be held at the club rooms, 96 

 Westminster street, on Monday evening, 

 July 19, when the committee on outing 

 will have a report and arrangements will 

 be made for the summer jollification. 



The Ehode Island Horticultural Society 

 members, to the number of nearly thirty, 

 held their annual summer outing at Wal- 

 lum pond, July 8. The party took the 

 electric car early in the morning and ar- 

 riving at the pond, explored its borders 

 with the result that several rare speci- 

 mens of plants were found. 



Secretary Dunn and William Williams, 

 of the State Board of Agriculture, accom- 

 panied by Prof. A. E. Stene, of the Agri- 

 cultural College, and City Forester Alex. 

 H. Jonson, went to Boston July 9 for the 



Established In 1687
