The Market. 



Last week business was extremely 

 quiet. Funeral work was the principal 

 item of the little activity there was, 

 decorations having dropped oflf sudden- 

 ly. Outdoor stock of all kinds is com- 

 ing into this market in great abun- 

 dance. Gladioli, gaillardias, coreopsis, 

 delphiniums, campanulas, chrysanthe- 

 mums, etc., are of fine quality. Sweet 

 peas are constantly becoming better 

 and the market is flooded with them, 

 some of them moving at almost nothing. 

 Summer roses are good and the demand 

 readily takes care of the supply. 



Various Notes. 



Many growers of outdoor stock have 

 been troubled with the soft-shell borer. 

 Dahlias seem to be the plants chiefly 

 infested, although reports mention zin- 

 nias, hollyhocks and, in fact, nearly all 

 soft-wooded stock as being subjected to 

 the attack. 



The West Side Floral Co. is remodel- 

 ing its store and reports a fine season. 

 The company placed on this market a 

 large supply of bedding stock and its 

 cut flowers have found a ready market. 



Henry Puvogel is building a dwelling 

 on Chatsworth street, alongside his 

 greenhouses. 



L. L. May & Co. report business good 

 in all lines. Mr. May is improving in

McCray Florists 

 Refrigerators 



The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer 

 than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even 

 temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the 

 great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration. 



The various compartments in a McCRAY are of differient 

 sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and 

 your flowers are given an inviting display. 



For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome 

 bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy 

 to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the 

 interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures. 



Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business. 

 You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic doUar-and- 

 cents value. Investigate anyway!
