The Florists^ Review 



SKPTlCMBKIi 12, 1912. 



Eig:ht Pages of Retailers* Cards 



This department for the cards of Leading Retail Florists — those florists who have the 

 facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid 

 development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and 

 so helpful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years. 



Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and 

 make 20 per cent profit without effort) if you let )rour customers know you can perform this service 

 for them. To receive your share — well, The Review's department for Retailers* cards remains the 

 one way of getting prompt action on the order in hand. 



To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order. This is for one-inch space. 

 Other spaces in proportion. ^ 



Why not send your order today — now — ^before you forget it?

The Market. 



The extremely hot weather during the 

 last week certainly did not help the 

 flower business any. A great lot of cut 

 stock, especially in roses, was con- 

 signed to this market during the week, 

 and the hot weather played havoc with 

 the blooms; they had to be disposed of 

 at once, as they were worthless next 

 day. That was the condition of all 

 varieties of roses. Carnations from the 

 young stock were fairly good, but were 

 still short-stemmed, and the best of 

 them did not bring over $1 per hun- 

 dred. 



Asters are still arriving in great 

 abundance, and shipments of them are 

 being received from as far as New 

 York. The home-grown flowers, how- 

 ever, are in better demand than the 

 eastern stock, which does not come in 

 good condition. Everblooming tube- 

 rose stalks are not nearly so plentiful 

 as they were last season, and the price 

 is up to $4 per hundred for the best. 

 Last year at this time the wholesalers 

 were disposing of them at $1 per hun- 

 dred. Easter lilies are not any too nu- 

 merous. Lily of the valley is also 

 scarce just now. 



The retailers say that this hot spell 

 has cut off what little transient trade 

 there was, and funeral work was all 

 they could depend upon for business. 



Various Notes. 



J. .J. Karins, representing Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., called on the local trade 

 last week jnd cleaned up some nice 

 business. 



Adolph Brix, of the Brix Floral Co., 

 is the only one of the local florists who 

 has not yet returned from his vacation. 

 He has been touring Europe all sum- 

 mer, and has written to friends that he 

 has been having a great time and ex- 

 pects to be home by September 15. 



George Walters, the wire worker, 

 says that since being closer to the buy- 

 ers in the wholesale cut flower district 

 his business has increased. 



The "House of Flowers," arranged 

 by Ostertag Bros, at the made-in-St. 

 Louis show, at the Coliseum last week, 

 was presided over by Miss Helen Os- 

 tertag, assisted by several of Miss Os-
