"THE" FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



EVERYBODY'S SAYING IT 



What? 



That Bayersdorfer led the "grand march" at Chicago, and held 

 the lead he has held for so many years, as the greatest florists' 

 supply house in America. The extracts below from the various 

 trade journals tell an interesting story of what we have accom- 

 plished. It shows that " Everybody's saying it." They are 

 some straws from the great moulders of public opinion which 

 show which way the wind blows : 



SOME EXTRACTS FROM WHAT THEY SAY 



The journals quoted from below are among the leaders in trade 

 circles in American Horticulture, and all of the highest standing. 



From "Horticulture" 



The Bayersdorfer exhibit was 

 a stunner and demonstrated 

 once again that Philadelphia 

 leads the country in the depart- 

 ment of florists' supplies. We 

 noticed many meritorious novel- 

 ties here which we hope to men- 

 tion in detail later on. Business 

 was humming at the Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co. end of the hall. 



From the "Florists' Exchange" From the "Florists' Review" 



This exhibit comprised about 

 everything in the supply line a 

 florist could be looking for in 

 staple goods * * The new color 

 in Parisian basket * * a bright 

 russet and entirely new * * Mr. 

 Bayersdorfer brought this nov- 

 elty from Paris * * a very ex- 

 tensive and interesting exhibit. 



The Bayersdorfer exhibit was 

 not only tlie largest in the hall, 

 but the largest ever made at an 

 S. A. P. convention. * * There 

 were hundreds of styles of bas- 

 kets, including two new colors 

 — one a nlle green, the other a 

 brown — discovered by Mr. Ba.y- 

 ersdorfer in Paris. * * Gun 

 metal tone ware was a distinct 

 novelty. Decorated ivy vases 

 and baskets were shown for the 

 first time.
