WHAT ARE YOU DOINC 



to make June, the month of Brides and Gradua- 

 tions a busy and Profitable One for You ? 



Boxes and Crates 



are being shipped from our warehouses every day to florists all over the 

 country, containing just the goods that the public are eager for at this 

 season. Are any of them billed to you? If not you are neglecting your 

 opportunity. There's as good money in them for you as for the other man 

 who is stocking up and getting ready and knows why. 



Behind These Goods 



stands the name and guarantee of the oldest, largest and best-known 

 Florists' Supply House in America. Quality, Freshness, Servicability 

 and Price are Unrivalled. Send for price list and suggestions on 



seasonable standard goods and novelties and mention Horticulture when 

 writing.
