the wholesale store and business of the 

 Batavia Greenhouse Co. The large ice- 

 box has been erected in the green goods 

 department at the rear of the Amling 

 store. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is developing 

 its invasion of the east. New York city 

 and vicinity constitute the latest point 

 of attack. A sample room and offices 

 have been opened at 687 Broadway. 

 Paul Hollander is in charge. He has a 

 force of five salesmen, covering the 

 metropolitan and adjacent districts. 

 Edward Galavan, sales manager for the 

 company, has just returned from New 

 York, where he went to complete the 

 arrangements with Mr. Hollander, who 

 is a sales agent of experience in New 

 York. 



C. L. Washburn returned from Cali- 

 fornia October 6. He is well pleased 

 wdth the progress made at the Bassett 

 & Washburn palm growing establish- 

 ment near Los Angeles. He says they 

 plan to plant there about 250 bushels 

 of kentia seeds each year, and that last 

 season they obtained the greater part 

 of all the kentia seeds which came to 

 the United States, about 175 bushels. 

 E. B. Washburn is expected here about 

 October 15 on a trip which will extend 

 as far east as Philadelphia. 



P. C. Schupp calls attention to a point 

 which will be of value to customers out 

 of town. Mr. Schupp says that buyers 

 do not order early enough in the day. 

 It is all right if everything goes smooth- 

 ly, but with present conditions there 

 are frequent delays in the transmission 

 or delivery of telegrams. Mr. Schupp 

 says that the J. A. Budlong Co. fre- 

 quently receives telegrams hours after 

 the flowers ordered should have been on 

 their way. The wholesaler is powerless. 

 It is up to the buyer to send his orders 

 in season to provide against possible 

 delay. 



A. Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., returned October 4, from five 

 months spent in Japan. His idea is 

 that this year's supply of giganteum 

 lily bulbs is not more than one-third 

 what the world consumed annually be- 

 fore the war. 



W, P. Kyle and R. C. Ellsworth, with 

 their wives, returned October 3, from a

DISTANCE 



Is no obstacle to the Retail Florist in buying Cut Flowers 

 from Chicago. 



It is a generally known fact that Cut Flowers travel 

 safely over great distances and are then sometimes held for 

 many days in the "cool room" by the Retailer for delivery to 

 the ultimate consumer. 



Your Ice Box is Your Stock Room 



A matter of a few minutes and the long distance telephone 

 will bring the Retail Florist into our salesroom. 



In less than an hour a telegram will place an order for 

 shipping on our flies. 



Within two to twenty-four hours mail is delivered here 

 from cities within 1000 miles from CHICAGO. 



No better service can be offered by wholesale houses of 

 other cities or can our claims be offset by wholesale growers 

 in the vicinity of any Retail Florists because of their con- 

 venient location. 



CHICAGO MAKES THE MARKET PKICE ON CUT FLOWERS. 



IN THE FILLING OF CUT FLOWER ORDERS WE 

 CONTRIBUTE OUR PAKT TO MEET THE DE- 

 MANDSOFTHE OUT-OF-TOWN RETAIL FLORIST.
