Eight 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 your customers know you can perform this service 

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

 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. ,•? .v - , : -^

The first local frost of the season 

 signalized the closing days of Septem- 

 ber and the menace of overabundant 

 outdoor flowers is lifted. This weelt 

 will see the last of the asters and 

 gladioli. Dahlias have also suffered 

 from the cold temperature, and the tone 

 of the market reflects the more cheerful 

 outlook. 



The orchid supply promises to con- 

 tinue overabundant for several weeks. 

 It will be November before the ship- 

 ments become normal, and present low 

 prices are likely to continue. A drop 

 from $1 to 30 cents and under for cat- 

 tleyas in a week is most unusual. The 

 chrysanthemum shipments are increas- 

 ing rapidly. Every wholesale window 

 is ablaze with color and as fine stock 

 as New York has ever before seen in 

 October arrived weeks ahead of the 

 usual time. This whole month will be 

 dominated by them; all the popular 

 varieties and several novelties will be 

 in evidence before this week is over. 

 Prices for the inferior grades are low, 

 and the wisdom of growing only first- 

 class flowers is again emphasized. 



Dahlias were featured last week at 

 the American Institute exhibition. Some 

 beautiful conceptions in basket ar- 

 rangements were seen in the retail win- 

 dows, but the general demand for them 

 was light and prices, except for the 

 best, were discouragingly low. Lilies 

 remained firm at $6 to $8 per hundred, 

 mostly at $6, and valley of quality rose 

 to 3 cents, there bieing a short supply. 



Carnations improve slowly. Most of 

 them are short-stemmed and $2 per 

 hundred has been the top figure for 

 the best. The low grades are disposed 

 of at 50 cents per hundred. Last week 

 the best roses of the season to date 

 arrived. These, in all the new and old 

 varieties, were absorbed rapidly and 

 for the best $6 to $8 was the quota- 

 tion. Sunburst, Bulgarie, Mrs. Ward 

 and Double White Killarney were in 

 special demand. The quality of Amer- 

 ican Beauties is fast improving and 

 prices are steady, with a tendency up- 

 ward.
