Eight Pages of Retailers^ Cards 



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

 facilities for filling the orders sent them by other florists — has made possible the recent rapid 

 development of this branch of the business, a branch of the trade now established for all time and 

 so helpful that its volume will keep on increasing for many years, ik

The Market. 



There are still great quantities of 

 flowers being received daily in all lines. 

 Carnations and roses are in heavy sup- 

 ply and it takes some hustling on the 

 part of the wholesalers to move them 

 out. Last week was good all around 

 and the retailers were kept busy, and 

 those that had business could get a fine 

 grade of stock at low prices. The 

 week ended with the carnations all 

 cleaned up and the roses down to a 

 point where there was no cause for 

 worry about their cleaning up Sun- 

 day morning. This market seems to 

 have more short roses than any other 

 grade, and it is surprising, considering 

 the amount of stock grown and the 

 trade calling for better grades right 

 along, that some of the rose growers 

 do not produce some longer stock. Sweet 

 peas are arriving in grand shape and 

 are popular. There is a steady call for 

 these and Friday, Saturday and Sun- 

 day it seemed that every lady in the 

 city wore a corsage, either of roses, 

 peas or short Beauties. This is cer- 

 tainly pleasing to the florists here, as 

 they have worked hard to get the peo- 

 ple into this habit and it seems as 

 though they have succeeded. 



Tulips, daffs and hyacinths are a 

 glut in the market, as are Easter and 

 calla lilies. There is little or no de- 

 mand for these, and we all hope that 

 there will be a change soon. Spanish 

 iris is in heavy supply and not selling 

 any too well. Valley is being cleaned 

 up nicoly and there is just enough to 

 go around. Smilax is in the same con- 

 dition and there is no trouble selling 

 what is coming in. Fancy ferns are in 

 heavy demand and there is some fine 

 stock being shipped out by the large 

 fern dealers. 



Monday, April 29, the weather was 

 bad, as we had a heavy rain storm
