The Florists^ Review 



December 26, 1012. 



Eig:ht 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 forget it?

The Market. 



Everyone seems to be in a cheerful 

 frame of mind and is looking forward 

 to an unusually merry Christmas. There 

 are booths on both sides of the streets 

 in all the pripcipal parts of the city 

 and a whole army of people are inhabit- 

 ing them, selling fireworks, trinkets and 

 Christmas decorations. From the amount 

 of holly that has arrived during the 

 last few days, one would be led to 

 think there is no more left in the 

 woods. Mistletoe is conspicuous by its 

 almost entire absence. The quality of 

 the decorative greens is better this year 

 than usual, but a great deal of it will 

 remain unsold when the holidays are 

 over. 



One not accustomed to this part of 

 the country does not realize what 

 Christmas means in the south. It is 

 the one festival occasion of the year 

 and lasts for a week at least. From 

 the humblest negro cabin to the grand- 

 est resilience in the west end, everyone 

 must have decorations. The cemeteries 

 are decorated at this time of year in 

 a way that is almost wholly unknown 

 in the north and west. The florists 

 get most of this cemetery work and 

 they are working night and day getting 

 ready for deliveries. Loads of red 

 cedar trees come down every pike these 

 days and are offered on the streets 

 for T'hristmas trees. The red cedar is 

 the Christmas tree here and a pretty 

 one it makes, too. 



Carnations were never in as good 

 supply as they are at present and the 

 quality is as good as the quantity. 

 There are a few small chrysanthemums 

 yet on the market. Violets are the 

 most plentiful they have been this 

 season. Valley is selling at $1.50 per 

 dozen. Sweet peas are not abundant, 

 but are moving readily. There is a 

 good supply of giganteum lilies. Or- 

 chids will be sold in good numbers at
