Six Pages of 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. 



Eoses are not plentiful. American 

 Beauties are scarce and tea roses are off 

 crop, not yielding enough to meet the 

 demand. Though a few of the local 

 growers are cutting fair stock, the bulk 

 of the roses are shipped in from Chicago. 

 Carnations are plentiful. The depart- 

 ment stores make a run on carnations 

 every Saturday at 2 cents each and hold 

 our retail stores down for one day, at 

 least, eve'ry week. Daffodils were adver- 

 tised at 1 cent. Violets are plentiful and 

 meet with a good demand. They are 

 mostly home-grown and are all single 

 varieties. 



Blooming plants are plentiful in almost 

 every variety. All potted plants sell well. 

 They are frequently used as birthday 

 presents, especially among the Jewish 

 people. Dutch hyacinths are fine and sell 

 well. Easter lilies are scarce, but the 

 florists are hurrying them along for Eas- 

 ter, as some are rather behind on them. 

 Sweet peas are most plentiful. Some of 

 the truck growers are selling them as 

 low as 20 cents per hundred. 



Vaxious Notes. 



At the greenhouses of the W. L. Rock 

 Flower Co., the carnations are in full 

 bloom. Their sweet peas are fine and 

 great preparations are being made to get 

 them ready for Easter. They have a 

 large stock of rambler roses in all sizes 

 and shapes, in bud and some in full 

 bloom. Their large stock of Easter lilies 

 seemed a little backward, but Mr. Hite 

 says he will have them in time. They 

 also had a fine batch of cyclamens in full 

 bloom and spiraeas in excellent shape.
