Six Pages of RetaUers' Cards 



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

 ties for tilling 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. 



Roses are scarce and the demand is 

 greater than the supply. There are few 

 Beauties in this market and those that 

 come in are taken up rapidly at rather 

 high prices. Carnations are not plenti- 

 ful and prices are about 4 cents whole- 

 sale. The department stores that han- 

 dle the Chicago surplus every Saturday 

 were asking 4 cents at retail last week, 

 whereas they generally sell at only 2 

 cents. 



Violets are plentiful this week, but 

 single varieties are most in evidence. 

 Tulips are in now, but are selling slowly, 

 as it is early for them. Double daffo- 

 dils have not yet arrived, but narcissi 

 are selling well, although the supply is 

 short at present. 



Azaleas are plentiful and find a ready 

 sale at good prices — much better than 

 for many years. Pink and red shades 

 seem to predominate and few white are 

 seen. Cyclamen are good and plentiful 

 this year and this market is well 

 stocked with sweet peas, as there aro 

 quite a few new firms that are growing 

 them this season. Prices range from 

 7.5 cents to $1 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



There is some talk of a new firm 

 building a large range of houses for 

 wholesale cut flowers, but we hear this 

 every winter when stock is scarce and 

 high, but when warm weather comes 

 these plans seem to fade away.
