^HE FACT that we have in the past seven years built up the largest Cut Flower Box 

 business in the Country is our best advertisement. We strive to please and the results 

 speak for themselves. 



"WHEN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE THEM'' 



is still our slogan. ^ 



We manufacture and carry in stock for prompt shipment: Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Mist 

 Tan, While Carnation and our popular Favorite grade— the latter a most satisfactory telescope 

 shipping box. Holiday boxes in season. We make special sizes promptly and at reasonable 

 charge, and specialize in attractive and up-to-date printing and embossing. 

 With our increased facilities we aim to make our service the best in our line, and if y9u are in the market it will pay you to wait 

 for the "Climax" Salesman, or send for laie price list and samples to nearest office: 141 Milk St.. Boston; 2914 llth St.. N. W., Wash-

building. The club will have more than 

 500 regular members before the flower 

 show opens, March 15, and has already 

 over $15,000 in the treasury. 



Everything is ready for the opering 

 of the New York International Flower 

 Show March 15. This is the last notice 

 before the doors open, and already its 

 success is assured. The final schedule 

 has been mailed; $15,000 worth of space 

 has been sold; over $4,000 worth of ad- 

 vertisements has been contracted for 

 in the souvenir; 20,000 trade tickets 

 have been sold. G. E. M. Stumpp and 

 Max Schling will have novel and ex- 

 tensive displays. 



The annual banquet of the Florists' 

 Club will take place at the Biltmore 

 hotel March 17. It will be an elaborate 

 affair, with many surprises. Messrs. 

 Miller, T. B. de Forest and their com- 

 mittee anticipate a notable success. 



The dyed flowers for St. Patrick 's day 

 will be conspicuous by their absence 

 this year, thanks to the scarcity of dyes 

 and the growing disfavor in which this 

 abnormality is held. 



Clarence Slinn is established in his 

 new headquarters, at 112 West Twenty- 

 eighth street. Many improvements are 

 arranged for. Some of his confreres call 

 him the violet king. 



The Cadieux Co. has opened its new 

 store at 37 West Twenty-eighth street. 

 It is neatly furnished and is close to 

 Broadway. 



Among the visitors last week in New 

 York were Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Schiller, 

 of Chicago, on their honeymoon trip. 



John Donaldson, of Patchogue, and 

 his son, Alexander, left March 3 by-boat 

 for a visit with a friend at Eichmond, 

 Va. 



The Kervan Co. has installed a dupli- 

 cate engine and its adjuncts in connec- 

 tion with the large cold storage system, 

 so as to be prepared for any possible 

 emergency. 



Charles Schultheis, who has been with 

 the Growers' Cut Flower Co. for some 

 months, will return to his position at 

 College Point, L. I., in his father's 

 greenhouses, preliminary to entering 

 Cornell in the fall. 



The first parrot tulips of the season 

 were on sale at J. J. Coan's March 3. 

 He will have the usual big supply 

 of shamrocks.

Dirt Bands 



Our Dirt Bands are made from a 

 special heavy board stock and are 

 much superior to the flimsy, thin 

 paper band or pot. To those who 

 have been using the lock style, the 

 "Climax" Band will be much ap- 

 preciated, as there is no folding or 

 hooking required. A trial will con- 

 vince you.
