The Weekly Florists' Review* 



December 29, 1910. 





Six Pages al Retailers' Cards 



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

 ties for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid develop- 

 ment of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and so help- 

 ful 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. If you are the only florist in your city 

 represented here, you get the orders coming into your territory from other florists. If you are not 

 represented and "the other fellow" is — we can leave it to you what becomes of these desirable orders. 



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. 



rhristmas has passed, but it has been 

 cue that will long be remembered as 

 the busiest in the history of the florist 

 business in this city. The sudden drop 

 in the temperature to the zero range 

 on December 19 gave the trade some 

 anxiety, which was not relieved until 

 the weather warmed up on Thursday, 

 and little trouble was experienced in 

 the delivery of goods. On Saturday it 

 rained hard and this curtailed to a 

 slight degree the purchasing, but tele- 

 phone orders apparently made up for 

 the loss of personal trade. All the re- 

 tailers had from half a dozen to fifteen 

 or twenty extra help, and extra delivery 

 wagons were kept on the rush to make 

 the deliveries. 



The sales on greens of all kinds were 

 the largest ever known here, and the 

 same may be said concerning potted 

 plants. In the latter, poinsettias, aza- 

 leas, araucarias, ardisias, palms and 

 ferns were among the best sellers, while 

 j»ans of bulb stock found ready demand. 

 In cut flowers the demand for poin- 

 settias far exceeded any previous year, 

 while roses, carnations and all other 

 blooms moved with astonishing rapidity. 

 Prices advanced to practically double 

 the regular market, but no one seemed 

 to object. Good stock was wanted and 

 any prices were paid. 



Various Notes. 



At the regular monthly meeting of 



the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 



Rhode Island, held December 19, one 



new member was added to the list.
