OPEN AUGUST 1 



We handle the stock of 60 well known growers who specialize in Beauties, 

 White Killarneys, Pink Killarneys, Richmonds, Brides, 'Maids, Lily of the 

 Valley, Orchids, Asters, Sweet Peas, Violets, Chrysanthemums, and every- 

 thing else for the florists' trade. In green goods we have Smilax, Asparagus 

 in strings and bunches, Galax Leaves and Fancy Ferns. 



SIXTY GROWERS 2,000,000 FEET OF GLASS 



These growers have been selected with care as to their size and the quality and variety of the 

 stock they grow. In approximating the amount of glass they control, we believe 2,000,000 feet a 

 modest estimate, so that with this amount of glass we will be second to none in quantity of stock we 

 shall receive. The quality also will be varied, so as to meet the requirements of every florist. There 

 will be a large supply of extra fancy roses ; also the grades ranging to short. The growers have been 

 selected so that we will have a large supply of every kind of flowers as they come in season. We 

 have also growers who specialize in Beauties, orchids, valley , roses, carnations and green goods. These, 

 with a large percentage who grow all the miscellaneous stock, make US one of the largest 

 wholesale cut flower houses in Chicago. 



The second floor of our four-story building will be used for the sale of plants. We have growers 

 who specialize in these and we expect to become a factor along this line. You will hear more on 

 this later. 



We will be in readiness August 1 to receive orders, every detail being perfected. On that day 

 we will have a full line to offer, so you need have no hesitancy in wiring or writing for rush or future 

 shipments. Your orders will have the most prompt and careful attention and will 

 leave on the first and quickest express. 



Charge accounts are solicited and there will be no delay in shipment on that account. C. O. D. 

 shipments will be made only to those who are new, without reference accompanying order. 



We solicit your correspondence and will gladly give any and all information requested per- 

 taining to the business. We hope to receive your valued assistance toward making this a success, 

 assuring you it will be wholly advantageous to you.
