Realizing the utili- 

 ty and the vast im- 

 p o r t a n c e of this 

 branch, and linowing 

 the necessity for 

 every Florist to get 

 shades to match the 

 Ilowers exactly and 

 stand the inspection 

 of the most critical, 

 we organized this de- 

 partment, which is 

 now the most up-to- 

 date and modern of 

 any wholesale Flor- 

 ist's in the country. 



In this department 

 can be found the 

 newest and most de- 

 sirable patterns — de- 

 signs and colorings 

 being manufactured 

 to our order especial- 

 ly for the Florist 

 trade. New styles, 

 new fabrics are con- 

 stantly added, so as 

 to bring the stock up 

 to the highest stand- 

 ard of perfection. We 

 were the first to un- 

 dertake this branch 

 and offer to the Flor- 

 ist trade "Everything 



in Kibbons" and had years of experience 

 and knowledge before other houses entered 

 into the field. 



■TWENTY FIVE years ago when the Society of American 



Florists was organized the ccmmission business was a small 

 affair. Most growers marketed their own products. But as time went by, 

 they began to realize that marketing was a science in itself; and that the 

 expert salesman was indispensable. Duiicg these twenty- five years the

has gone through a progressive evolution; gaining constantly by experi- 

 ence, perfecting its methods and quickly grasping every improvement to 

 better the service both for grower and retailer. This company not only 

 does an immense business tut the best kind of business. Its organi- 

 zation combines all the good features of the Modem EIc«er Market, with 

 none of the objections. It may be fittingly called 



''The New Kind'' of Flower Market 



where everything in Cut Flowers, Plants or supplies can be had; a steady- 

 ing influence in extremes of glut or scarcity; and constsnlly striving for 

 the highest standaids of business methods and morals.

Cut Flower and Plant Department 



The organization of this department is the development 

 of nearly thirty years' experience, and is and has been 

 along practical lines. It has been brought by selection and 

 elimination as near perfection as possible. Constant vigi- 

 lance Is t*he watchword for every employe from the highest 

 to the lowest. Great stress is laid on the accurate- filling 

 of orders, and the packing system is so complete that we 

 now ship these perishable commodities hundreds, often 

 thousands, of miles from the great Cut Flower and Plant 

 center — Philadelphia.
