Although there has been a great de- 

 mand for them, ferns this year have 

 been poor. Despite this, prices have 

 been high and a shortage has been pre- 

 dicted for the holiday season. 



Temperley's have a fine line of Chate- 

 laine begonias from 5 to 8-inch pots. 



The Circle Flower Store reports suc- 

 cessful business so far. It has been 

 having quite a run on corsage bouquets 

 for debutante parties. 

 • II. W. Eieman was extremely busy 

 with funeral work last week. He was 

 well satisfied with Christmas prospects, 

 as orders came in earlier than usual. 



A. W. Herre, of the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Chicago, visited the trade last 

 Week. 



C. H. Bookedis, proprietor of the 

 Claypool hotel flower store, has always 

 Pri'led himself on his display window 

 anil called it his "silent salesman," but 

 this year his Christmas window ceases 

 to 1)0 silent — it is a scream of blazing 

 ylivistmas red. The interior of the store 

 's 'u keeping with the windows — every- 

 t'"!ig is most attractive in its Christ- 

 mas dress. E. E. T.

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 different 

 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 dollar-and- 

 cents value. Investigate anyway!
