Excerpt from Shipping Point Markets for Flowers: Practices and Problems of California and Florida Shippers
Most shipments made by California and Florida shippers move as sales to Wholesalers in larger cities. Direct sales to retail florists are second in importance to these shippers, and consignments to wholesalers are third. California shippers make relatively fewer consignments in out-of-state markets than do Florida firms because California growers can consign to Wholesale markets within the State.
