Which code does this activity belong in?
Flower, Nursery Stock, and Florists' Supplies Merchant Wholesalers covers merchant wholesalers that distribute flowers, florists' supplies, and nursery stock to retailers and other customers. The key boundary excludes plant seeds and plant bulbs, which fall under Farm Supplies Merchant Wholesalers along with other agricultural inputs. Establishments in this code focus specifically on cut flowers, potted plants, gardening tools, vases, and other items used by florists and garden centers, rather than the raw agricultural materials supplied to growers themselves.
