These leaves are prepared in our own factory. They are flexible, do not mould, 

 and are of a fine color. Cycas are very scarce, and we have been fortunate to have 

 some on baud. War couditioiis make it impossible at the present time to get 

 raw stock. On this account, Cycas I, eaves in the future will be very scarce, 

 and the price must rise accordingly. Take advantage of our low prices, while 

 we have some on hand.

WAX FLOWERS 



Mr. Florist; — Why don't you do the same as other successful florists are 

 doing? Work in artificial Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas, Callas, Easter Lilies, etc., 

 along with your .natural flowers in your floral pieces. No one can tell the differ- 

 ence between our artificial flowers and the natural when worked in together. We 

 have spent a fortune in perfecting our artificial flowers so that they will look like 

 the natural. For your own sake, just give us a trial order amounting to $10.00 or 

 .$15.00. If the goods are not to vour liking, return them at our expense. In these 

 times of war, the best florists a"re using these flowers on account of the scarcity 

 and high prices of natural flowers.
