SUMMER ROSES OUR SPECIALTY 



We Grow all the Roses we Handle. No Stock Sold on Commission. 



We are Rose specialists and are cutting from 245,000 rose plants, all in one large range of glass, 

 grown under the very best methods and skill. The advantage of buying such stock, absolutely guaranteed as 

 to quality and freshness, and brought direct from the greenhouse to our store three times per day, is that 

 we can deliver them to our customers in splendid condition. Remember, we ship you the roses the same 

 day they are cut.

July Business. 



July of 1918 was better than the 

 month in any previous year, but July 

 of 1919 went considerably ahead. There 

 was a space in the early part of the 

 month when things were pretty dull and 

 prices pretty low, but in the latter part
