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. , . 



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. 



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 foi-get it?

The warm weather continued during 

 the last week and there was a good 

 supply of stock on hand. However, it 

 is used up almost as fast as it comes 

 in, so that there is no great glut • in 

 the wholesale market. Prices continue 

 about the same as last week. Growers 

 seem to have been holding back white 

 carnations for Mothers' day, for white 

 carnations are in great demand for that 

 day, since they have the fragrance, the 

 purity, the lasting qualities and the 

 firmness which are symbolic of mother- 

 hood. 



The violet season has been dull in 

 this section, for the flowers were too 

 poor to handle. Nevertheless, regard- 

 less of the lateness of the season, flower 

 buyers are still clamoring for violets. 

 Sweet peas and valley fill the bill for 

 corsages, though pansies and Ward 

 roses are worn a great deal. All roses 

 are in splendid condition, with the ex- 

 ception of Eichmonds, which are not 

 especially good. Snapdragons are prime 

 favorites, with the yellow variety in 

 the lead. There are a few good late 

 ramblers in pots. Both Dorothy Per- 

 kins and Crimson Ramblers are to be 

 had. Spring weddings are somewhat 

 numerous, but there have been no large 

 ones recently. Carnations begin to show 

 signs of warm weather, for they have 

 brown outer petals and get sleepy in a 

 short time. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Curtis, of Irondequoit, is 

 growing some excellent sweet peas. The 

 lavender ones are especially good. 



George Bennett's crop of spring car- 

 nations is holding up splendidly; he is 

 cutting fine, large blooms of Enchant- 

 ress, Winsor and Boston Market. The 

 good quality of the flowers is undoubt- 

 edly due to the cold spring we have had.
