EASTER AND THE SHOW. 



Easter Sunday will be April 23— The National Flower Show will be held in Philadelphia 

 from March 25 to April 2. 



We want you to come here to see our Easter stock and the Show. Both will be well 

 worth seeing, so well that we urge you to make the effort and come. We know that our Easter 

 display will surprise and delight you. It is the finest stock we have ever offered. We are 

 told by reliable men that the show will also eclipse all past shows. Now that you have assur- 

 ance that it will be worth while, better come. 



Make our store your headquarters while in Philadelphia. We will show you any courtesy that is in our power.

The National Flower Show. 



Charles Henry Fox announces that 

 the automobile pennants advertising the 

 National Flower Show are ready for 

 distribution. Mr. Fox hopes that every 

 florist who owns an automobile, whether 

 it be a delivery car or a touring car, 

 will ask for and use these pennants. 

 Please write at once to Charles Henry 

 Fox, 1205 Widener building, Philadel- 

 phia, asking for these attractive blue 

 and white pennants for your car or cars. 

 They are ready now. 



Fred Cowperthwaite proposes making 

 the bureau of information a lively affair 

 indeed. Mr. Cowperthwaite 's plan is 

 to have a corps of well informed work- 

 ers on hand every day and evening 

 while the show is in progress, ready to 



escort and enlighten all visitors who 

 may so desire. Any florist or gardener 

 who will aid in the cause by devoting 

 some of his time to this work is request- 

 ed to write to Mr, Cowperthwaite, at 

 1205 Widener building, and apprise him 

 of the fact.
