The Weekly Florists' Review. 



i'^-- - 



OCTOBBB 6, 1911. 



to the retail trade, thus interfering 

 with the wholesale business and creat- 

 ing a situation that in some measure 

 justifies, the wholesale man in lapping 

 over the retailer and offering trees 

 direct to planters. 



Now, how do these methods compare 

 when considered from the standpoint 

 of our doctrine of the greatest good for 

 the greatest number? One method 

 means a margin of extra profit which 

 enables salesmen to go out and get the 

 business, the other a margin of dis- 

 count which decreases business. The 

 one method will sell 100,000 trees 

 at a profit and start orchards enough 

 to supply 10,000 people with fruit. 

 The other will sell 25,000 trees at 

 cost and block the sale of 75,000. 

 Which is best for the interests of nur- 

 serymen and for the public goodt 

 But these difficulties in the trade are 

 growing less every year. The "Whole- 

 sale Nurserymen's Association is doing 

 a great work in keeping a record of 

 the dishonest retail nurserymen and 

 passing the word out to all wholesalers, 

 thus making it hard for a deadbeat to 

 do business. The Ketail Nurserymen's 

 Association is doing a good work in 

 protecting the trade from the encroach- 

 ments of wholesalers and a still greater 

 work in blacklisting the dishonest 

 salesman. We are fast approaching that 

 time when the nurserymen of the coun- 

 try will stand with and for each other 

 and can present to the world a solid 

 front of clean, honest men. 



DENVEB. 



The Market. 



The last two weeks have not sliown 

 any great improvement in sales, but 

 stock has improved noticeably, both 

 in quantity and quality. Toward the 

 last of the month there is a tendency 

 to get along with as little as possible, 

 in order to keep the bills down. After 

 the first of the month, things always 

 pick up. 



There is an abundance of tea roses 

 of a good grade, but they stay around 

 until they are ready for the dump. 

 Some of the white roses on the market 

 are as fine as any grown anywhere at 

 any time. Short-stemmed teas are not 

 moving. One grower who is cutting a 

 good many is retailing them at 25 cents 

 a dozen, to get rid of them. Good 

 Beauties with long stems are compara- 

 tively scarce, but one can get all he 

 wants of the shorter grades. Carna- 

 tions are equal to the demand, except 

 when some extra heavy shipping or- 

 ders are received, as was the caae last 

 week. A few single violets ire being 

 brought in, and are good in spite of the 

 contiued warm weather. They sell on 

 sight. Some garden flowers are still 

 on the market. There has, as yet, been 

 no killing frost. 



Varions Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Valentine re-
