How We Do Steamer Business 



The steamship companies notify us reg 

 ularly about sailings — notice this sample 

 letter 



We deliver flowers promptly, but in case 

 we are unable to deliver to the state- 

 room we mail in the letter box on board 

 the steamer, to each recipient of flowers, 

 a card advising of the arrival of flowers, 

 as shown herewith — thus safeguarding 

 our customers against any possible loss. 

 On the card is written the name of the 

 F. T. D. Florist who placed the order 

 with us. 



Our "ATLANTIC" Steamer Boxes — just as pretty 

 as this picture shows them to be — and the flowers 

 will outlast the voyage — cost from $10«00 up- 

 ward, according to variety of flowers used. Other 

 Boxes from $5.00 to $7.50. 



When wiring order for flowers arranged in water in 

 suitable boxes specify "Atlantic" and state price.
