THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



Our Display at the National Flower Show Was 



A NOTABLE SUCCESS 



Visitors crowded our booth continually, attracted by the ex- 

 tent and brilliancy of our display and especially the many 

 sterling novelties never shown before. Among these were 

 the Sunshine Baskets which leading retailers ordered in 

 quantity and which alone make a store most attractive.

TWO DARING AVIATORS. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Mr. Smith of the Joy Floral Co., 

 Nashville, Tenn., made us a flying visit 

 on the 21st inst. on his way North. He 

 expects to spend a w'eek or two In 

 New England. 



The celebrated aviators. Blakely Graham of Chester, Fa., and George 

 Cooper Watson of Philadelphia, making a daring flight in a gale at Atlantic 

 City, April 20, 1913. 



The seceders sent a request for 

 money to the wholesalers. Every one 

 responded. Now, let us look for some- 

 thing the seceders are doing in return. 

 Of course they will buy more — and be 

 more pleasant in the buying. 



at the next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club. His subject will be "Affiliation." 

 and w-e expect some clean-cut new 

 ideas from the growers' standpoint. 

 The retailers have had it all their own 

 way of late. So we expect to have a 

 good audience to hear a live wire from 

 the other side. 



Adolph Farenwald will be the star 



Fred Cramer, one of the good boys 

 in the Niessen outfit, was married this 

 week. You have to settle down, you 

 know, and raise a family. We do not 



know Mr. Cramer, but take Artliur 

 Niessen's word for it. Started with 

 them as a message boy — now one of 

 their responsible salesmen. Merit 

 counts. May they live long and 

 prosper.
