The Florists' Review 



A Honey Naking Proposition for Progressive Florists 



A very crood substitute for Box 

 trees would be small Evergreens, 

 which our American nurserymen 

 are already preparing for this pur- 

 pose. Winter boxes filled with 

 nice Evergreens, dwarf Ever- 

 greens, which, to my mind, are 

 even prettier because more di- 

 versified than the Box trees, would 

 prove very attractive.

HILL'S HARDY EVERBREENS FOR WINDOW BOXES AND TUBBIN8 



With the growing scarcity of Boxwoods and other imported plant material, Hardy Evergreens easily rank first in the 

 class of plants for outside Fall and Winter decoration. Push Evergreens now and the coming months. Talk Evergreen 

 Boxes and Hardy Tubbed Evergreens to the people who have had summer decorations. Both are as easy to sell as Summer 

 stocks and give complete satisfaction. Try out this line now and see for yourself. Realizing florists' needs, we have spared 

 no efforts to prepare a sufficient supply for all requirements, but the demand exceeds that of all previous years. Orders 

 should be placed now for immediate or late delivery.
