f Holly and 

 Green 





It is said there is no trade so sure, so much to 

 be depended on under all conditions as the 

 "Holiday Trade." The demand is sure to be 

 with us again this season and we believe to an 

 increased volume. 



In the line of 

 CHRISTnA5 DECORATIONS we have prepared for 

 it with un ample stock of 



Green in Bulk, 

 Evergreen Wreathing, 

 Holly, Holly Wreaths, 

 Mistletoe, etc., etc. 



Does OLWLITY interest vou in these sjoods? 

 It shoiTld. You will find the BEST OU.\LI- 

 TY is that which sells, and in buying, this 

 fact must be constantly considered. 

 We claim to give you the best the season pro- 

 duces, and are we not in position to do 

 this ? The large quantities we handle each year 

 acquaint us with the right sources of supply, 

 enable us to give extra labor and attention to 

 inspection and sorting, the unsurpassed facili- 

 ties we possess for storing and handling, to- 

 gether with our experience and knowledge of 

 the trade wants, all combine to put us in posi- 

 tion to offer you the very best service in this 

 line. 



Why take ri.sks? Barnard's brand in these 

 goods signifies the standard of excellence. We 

 will not disappoint you either in quality or 

 prompt service. 



Bouquet Green in Bulk 



It is necessary to seek new localities for sup- 

 plies of this article if one is to get the dark 

 green color and bushy growth demanded by 

 the florist trade. Our pickers each season 

 must go farther and farther into the deep 

 woods and swamps which have not been cleared 

 and where the sun does not injure the color. 

 Freights are more from these points but quan- 

 tity used gives us advantage of carload rates 

 and we can offer this better article at very 

 reasonalile and competing prices. 



EVERGREEN WREATHING. 



For the convenience of those who prefer to pur- 

 chase Green ready for immediate use we manufac- 

 ture large quantities of Wreathing. It is made of 

 selected Green, wire wound, tied in coils of twenty 

 yards each; can be cut to any length without un- 

 rolling. 



Medium or standard grade, per loo yds., % i.l^ 

 " " i.ooo " 25.00 



For larger quantities special figures will be given, 

 also for different grades. Light and Heavy. 



EVERGREEN WREATHS. 



These will be found very salable, and the low 

 jirice at which they are offered affords a good margin 

 of profit. They are made on rattan, wound on 

 both sides with bright, fresh Green, trimmed with 

 colored Immortelles or Cape Flowers.
