fL Placing a hit in the buying of cut 

 flowers is much the same as in baseball. 

 It's a matter of judgment. The knowl- 

 edge of where you will at all times re- 

 ceive the best stock and service, is your 

 path to correct buying. 



^ We have a very fine supply of Roses 

 in all grades which we are certain will 

 please you. Try our Pompons, they 

 are business getters; Mums, in yellow 

 and white; Carnations, and all other 

 seasonable flowers and greens. Place 

 your orders here.
