THE BUYING SEASON 



for Florists' Holiday Material and Standard Winter 



Indispensable Goods is now at its height. We have been, 

 are now, and expect to continue 



WORKING OVERTIME ON HOLIDAY ORDERS 



Fall trade this season is far beyond any previous years and the 

 quality and variety of the stock in our warerooms and coming in 

 from abroad fully warrants it. 



It would take pages innumerable to tell you all we have that you 

 should stock up on. Our catalogue tells all this in detail with 

 splendid half-tone illustrations. Send for it and see. 

 Don't wait until the last minute to order. DO IT NOW !
