WE HAVE A FINE SUMMER CROP OF ROSES 



You will not be disappointed with our Summer Roses. There are none better on the Chicago Market. Good quality

good supply. Also a complete line of Garden Flowers. Shipping orders a specialty. 



Order here— you can't do better elsewhere— often not nearly so well.

"Eed" Gannon, who looks after the 

 American Express interests on the Chi- 

 cago market, holds one of the numbers

Grant's Coal Plan. 



John Grant, of the Warren Park 

 Floral Co., Cicero, lost most of his profit 

 last season because he had no contract 

 for coal. As prices are just as high 

 now, or higher, he has been looking 

 around for a way to protect his profits. 

 He thinks he has found the way and in- 

 vites any interested florist to investi- 

 gate the proposition. 



With a friend, he has secured an op- 

 tion on a coal mine not at present be- 



ing worked at Roseville, O., near Colum- 

 bus. To buy the mine will cost $50,000 

 and $2."), 000 is needed for working 

 capital. Tiiere is a million tons of coal 

 in sight, on tlie surface. The idea is to 

 organize a cooperative company among 

 consumers, each stockholder being en- 

 titled to coal at cost of production, ap- 

 proximately $1 per ton; freight rate to 

 Cliicago, $1.55. If the stockholders do 

 not need it all, the surplus output to be 

 sold at the market price, fixed at $2.75. 

 Mr. Grant says the mine can be started 

 in thirty days. 



Florists approached liave been inter- 

 ested, but have felt themselves so ig- 

 norant of tlie subject of coal mining 

 that thoy did not like to touch it. Mr. 

 Grant wants several to get together
