FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST, 



ACCEPT "SUPERIGRA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY 



For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS 



EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS 



C. K. CrUohell. of Cinrinnatl, Ohio, writes: "My customers insist 



on liaving llie 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these 

 are the best, and that they do not dry out or become moldy, and that 

 every leaf can be used, and when this is taken Into consideration, 

 they are also the cheapest, besides being the best." 



The McCaUum Co., of PlttsburRh, I»a., says: "Other Magnolia 

 prepares have tried to induce us to stocic up their goods 'just as 

 Kood as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each instance told 

 them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did 

 not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con- 

 sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and 

 will not take a chance of losing it; In fact, our traveling men are 

 often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' " 



Ilttsburgh Cut Mower Co., of nttsburgh. Pa., writes: "Your 

 '.^uperiora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever 

 handled, .ind we have ha<i- no complaint from any of our customers 

 who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un- 

 der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it Is a very 

 satisfactory leaf Indeed." 



Jos. G. N'eidineer Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says; "We have 

 tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but lind your leaves 

 to be far superior to all others, etc„ etc." 



The Montreal Horal Kxchangre, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our 

 business has increased with you this year over double of what we 

 purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that 

 the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities 

 of your leaf. We appreciate the integrity, promptness and good 

 business methods tha't have characterized all your dealings with us." 



Michigran Cut Flower Exchannre. Detroit, Midi., snys: "We have 

 been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six 

 ytars and find in all this time that wc have had no complaints but 

 many compliments on these goods., etc., etc." 



Jo8. E. Koppelnian, of Providence, K. I., writes: "We feel that 

 we can sell your leaves to people who have used tlum once without 

 any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other 

 leaves elsewhere, etc., etc." 



New England Flotlst Supply Co., of Boston, Mass.. writes: "Have 

 found 'Superiora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The 

 .ualfs on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our 

 business." 



Wm. F. Kastlngr Co., of Buffalo, N. "V., writes: "Have always 

 found that the 'Superiora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac- 

 tion; In fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain 

 in the last few years." 



B. E. and J. T. Cokel.v. of Scranton, Penn., write: "We have 

 always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality, 

 etc." 



The Baltimore Wholesale MorlHt and Supply Co., of Baltimore, 

 Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag- 

 nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have 

 been offered uo, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry 

 in stock." 



>. F. McCaMhy and Co., of Boston, Mau., write: ". . . It 

 Is the opinion of McCarthy and Co. that your good firm prepares the 

 best leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is well 

 worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu- 

 facturers and your agents." 



Henry M. Rohlnson and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are 

 pleaso<l to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best 

 ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such 

 stock for sale, etc." ~ 



Reed and Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg 

 leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias 

 and We are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every- 

 way. AVe further state that our experience in leaves from other 

 dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould 

 tjuickly, etc." 



The Cleveland Florists' Exehange, Cleveland, O., says: ". 

 never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superiora' brand' of 

 Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned," 



Smith and Yoiutg, of Indianapolis, Ind.. write: "We will con- 

 tinue to use 'Superiora' ejcilusively as we consider it superior to any 

 other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not 

 had one single complaint, etc., etc." 



The Cleveland Cut Slower Co.. of Cleveland, Ohio, writes: 

 "• • • 'hat we have been sending you orders for 'Superiora' brand 

 Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your 

 goods ..." 



Geo. II. Angermoeller, of St. I.ouis. Mo., says: "It pleases me 

 to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiora' 

 Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality 

 of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers. 

 etc. ' 



Osoar Leistner, of Chirasro, Bl., writes: ". . . As you know 

 before you gave us the sole agency Tor the Western country, we were 

 handling a diftcrent leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble 

 and (lur customers were very much disappointed with the quality 



Smoe we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints 

 from our customers have entirely dJsappeared, and the trade seems 

 anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today ooe of our cus- 

 tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from 

 one of yoiir competitors, but that he has been compelled to return 

 them as his customers absolutely refused to accept them due to the 

 fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."
