although none sold at that figure. 

 Charles H. Grakelow denounced whole- 

 salers who retail in competition with 

 their customers and gave instances. 

 Edward Keid said that the retailers 

 should carry more stock whenever pos- 

 sible, because people want to see what 

 they buy. He gave an instance of an 

 offer that he had made of open Amer- 

 ican Beauties below the market price 

 to a number of retailers; all declined. 

 A New Yorker, who had first tried sev- 

 eral retailers, came to him for Beau- 

 ties for the funeral of a relative who 



loved that flower best. Mr. Eeid said 

 he did not feel justified in refusing that 

 $50 for his grower, where refusal meant 

 certain loss. Much more was said, but 

 suffice it to add that Mark Patton Mills 

 assured his hearers with energy that 

 his prices were reasonable and that 

 the retailers would generally find a 

 bargain at a grower's place; if not 

 just what they wanted, then something 

 else.

Betailers' Association. 



An effort is being made to band to- 

 gether the retail flower dealers of this 

 city for their common weal. There 

 are three objects: first, to push the 

 publicity campaign in the daily press; 

 second, to establish a credit bureau, to 

 check the beats who prey upon them; 

 third, to organize a pool for buying 

 flowers in big blocks in times of plenty, 

 to aid the market and help themselves.
