Retail florists' performance ratings of services provided by wholesale growers, wholesale florists, and grower-shippers/brokers were factor-analyzed to yield a hierarchical classification of customer service in floral distribution. Nine customer service factors were identified and three major independent classes of customer service were defined, including 1) physical distribution, 2) marketing, and 3) product quality services. Florists rated the performance of suppliers' physical distribution services higher than marketing and product quality services. Florists' perception of physical distribution and product quality services did not vary across type of supplier, but for marketing services, florists rated wholesale growers higher in performance than wholesale florists. The hierarchical classification of customer service and service performance profiles provide the floral industry with relevant market information for the successful development and effective implementation of customer service programs.

symptoms are insufficient to diagnose chronic B deficiency, leaf nutrient analysis can be useful ( Mills and Jones, 1996 ). An understanding of natural B distribution patterns within palm canopies and leaves is necessary to determine which leaves should be

Determination of fruit size and weight is important in horticulture to estimate yield and the proportion of fruit in each grade ( Zhang and Robson, 2002 ). Typically, the distribution of apple fruit weight fits a normal distribution ( Webb et al
Accurate early-season estimates of yield and fruit size distribution would aid apple growers and packers to estimate harvest labor, the number of bins, and the amount of storage space needed for the upcoming harvest. Accurate estimates of fruit size
