THE FIRST IMPRESSION. 



WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box. 

 Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but 

 you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec- 

 tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is 

 the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran- 

 saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your 

 name on the memory of those who receive the flowers? 



USE ARNOLD BOXES AND KNOW THAT THE 

 FIRST IMPRESSION IS FAVORABLE TO YOU

They now are preparing for a big 

 Christmas rush — only three weeks off. 

 The south end and north end florists 

 say that Thanksgiving trade was much 

 better this year than. last year. 



Business has exceeded the expecta- 

 tions of the St. Louis Wholesale Cut 

 Flower Co. A second automobile de- 

 livery car was installed last week. The 

 company's motto is, "Service 365 days 

 in the year." 



William H. Kruse, the Arsenal street 

 florist, says he put in a busy week fur- 

 nishing stock for several big weddings 

 and club decorations. 



Alex. Lurie, horticulturist at the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden, is busily occu- 

 pied delivering lectures. He recently 

 spoke before the railroad branch of 

 the Y. M. C. A. on "Flowers for the 

 Home," and on "Winter Protection of 

 Plants" before the Association of Col- 

 legiate Alumni of St. Louis. 



The Bourdet Floral Co., as usual, will 

 bave a grand lot of Christmas plants 

 for the local trade. The big range at 

 Tower Grove and Magnolia avenues is 

 ablaze witTi extra fine stock in this 

 line. 



Martin Eeukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia; Frank Farney, of 

 the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, and 

 Julius Dilloff, representing Schloss 

 Bros., of New York, were visitors here 

 last week. J. J. B. 



LA FAYETTE, IND. 



The chrysanthemum show at Purdue 

 University was held at the university 

 greenhouses and attracted considerable 

 attention from the townspeople. About 

 3,500 visited the greenhouses on the 

 last day of the show. 



The chrysanthemum exhibit consisted 

 of a large collection of standard varie- 

 ties, singles and pompons. A fine lot 

 of William Turner grown in the bench 

 and also in pots seemed of especial in- 

 terest to the visitors. Most of these 

 blooms were over two feet in circumfer- 

 ence. Tape lines were fastened aroxind 

 some of the largest blossoms to satisfy 

 the spectators' desire to know "just 

 how large that flower is." 



Other features of the exhibit which 

 attracted favorable comment were an 

 attractive display of baskets of flowers 



Good looking boxes 



Made in six beauti- 

 fyl shades and tints 

 of stock cut from 

 selected boards. 

 Eight handsome 

 two-color designs 

 and thirteen attrac- 

 tive floral plates in 

 one color, give op- 

 portunity for dis- 

 tinctive printing of 

 the cover to suit 

 your taste. 



Ask your paper jobber, or drop us a card and we will send you samples 

 and illustrations showing actual stock and color designs. 



Look for the Anchor Brand trade-mark.
