The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JCNB 8, 1911. 



THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT BASKETS 



Popular taste is a^ for BASKETS this year. It is decidedly to your interest to make the ipost of this fashion, 

 l)e(ause it gives you an o^poi%|jnity to display your skill and to use short -stemmed flowers to advantage. Our stock of 

 baskets is even finer than it was last season, when we were admittedly leaders in BASKETS as in all other FLORISTS' 

 SUPPLIES. 



Our selection of BASKETS for handsome gifts aims at simplicity. People who have cultured ideas about flowers 

 and floral arrangements tell us that a basket should be simple rather than showy, with graceful lines and of pleaaing 

 proportions. We have carried out these ideas and offer you the result— an assortment of the most stylish BASKETS 

 that you or anyone else hag ever seen. 



May we have a trial order, or, if you are using our BASKETS, as is quite likely, may we replenish your stock?

The Market. 



The cut flower market here for the 

 last two weeks has had its good and 

 bad days. The early days of last week 

 were warm and stock of all kinds was 

 rushed on the market, which, with the 

 light demand, caused a whole lot of 

 stock to be dumped. Carnations 

 seemed to have suffered the most, and 

 what was nice stock up to this time 

 is now small, soft and hard to sell at 

 any price. There are still some carna- 

 tions coming in tlfftt are good for this 

 time of the year, and these are clean- 

 ing up fairly well. 



Memorial day brought a lot of busi- 

 ness, with most of the orders calling 

 for carnations and peonies. The carna- 

 tions were so soft it was uncertain to 

 take shipping orders, but the whole- 

 salers managed to get through the 

 orders and when all the business was 

 over the orders were well taken care 

 of considering the shortage of good 

 stock, and from all accounts the cus- 

 tomers were pleased. Peonies were in 

 great demand and sold up clean. The 

 local stock was in for this holiday, and 

 these, together with the southern stock 

 in storage for the rush, helped out in 

 great shape. The business for the 

 week was fine, and if the weather had 

 been right the trade would have en- 

 joyed a record-breaking business for 

 this holiday. 



The week after Memorial day found 

 the weather much cooler and business 

 better all around. June weddings have 

 started and the market has taken on a 

 better tone. The week ending June 3 

 was a satisfactory one and stock of
