The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANCABT 18, 1912. 



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 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 quiet that usually follows the 

 Btorm has come over us. P^verything 

 is unusually dull, and, except for an 

 occasional funeral or a dinner decora- 

 tion, business would be at a standstill. 

 The gradually lengthening days seem to 

 be having an effect on stock. Carna- 

 tions are arriving in larger numbers 

 and, on account of the lack of demand, 

 prices have fallen. Mrs. C. W. Ward 

 is a favorite and in constant demand. 

 With us, as yet, it has no variation of 

 color, no streaks or different shades, 

 as it is reported to have in the east. 

 Its keeping qualities are excellent, and 

 it makes a good stem and a large 

 flower. Many growers are planning 

 for an increased number next season. 



American Beauties, long-stemmed, 

 are in good crop, although many of 

 the flowers are poor. Medium and 

 short grades are rather scarce, but in 

 some instances, rather than lose a sale, 

 long Beauties that have opened a little 

 have been cut down to suit the cus- 

 tomer's purse. Tea roses run about as 

 usual. Killarneys, both pink and white, 

 seem to be gradually losing favor be- 

 cause they do not keep. They have but 

 little substance and wilt after a little 

 exposure. About the only roses that 

 are grown are Richmond, the Killar- 

 neys, white and pink, and a few 

 Chatenays. One rarely sees anything 

 else. The growers say that novelties 

 do not pay. 



The violet men are discouraged. Vio- 

 lets can be bought at 50 cents a hun- 

 dred, and it hardly pays to pick and 

 bunch them at that price. A shipment 

 of violets recently received from New 

 York came through in elegant condi- 

 tion, but the fragrance had left them. 

 They were two or three times as large 

 as ours.
