PACKING AND MARKETING 



An account of the daily cut of blooms should be kept, 

 also of the ruling wholesale price per ioo, which may be 

 called the office tally, which will be a check to the com- 

 mission agents' vouchers or receipts. If the cut from special 

 varieties is to be tabulated apart, together with the prices 

 received, columns can be left blank for them. 



In regard to the disposal of the crop, unless one can 

 retail in a store of one's own, or can supply a number of 

 retail stores, the simplest plan is to send to the wholesale 

 market. The wholesale commission charges are usually 

 1 5 per cent., and a reliable commission house would be 

 likely to handle the product to better advantage than for 

 one to attempt dealing direct with the stores, the commis- 

 sion man being better posted on the subject of credits.
