Florists* 

 Refrigerators 



We manufacture, in our own plant, a complete 

 line of florists' refrigerators. While we have 

 many popular standard designs, most refrig- 

 erators are built for individual requirements. 



Brecht Refrigerators are the result of 67 years* 

 experience. They are designed on a scien- 

 tific basis, from the best material obtainable, 

 and are built to give greatest service with 

 minimum ice consumption. 



We will be glad to quote you on our standard 

 designs, or to offer suggestions and submit 

 special designs upon receipt of your require- 

 ments.

 proving to be a skillful propagator. 



H. N. Bruns reports the arrival of a 

 large importation of valley pips in a 

 sprouted and worthless condition. Such 

 reports have been coming from the east 

 for some time, so that it appears valley 

 pips that will come out of storage in 

 forcing condition will be scarce before 

 the 1920 crop is ready. 



O. A. Tonner says that Tonner Whole- 

 sale Florists believe the time has come 

 when they, as wholesale florists, are so 

 located that they can begin to estab- 

 lish a separate retail department, eon- 

 ducted strictly retail, without interfer- 

 ing with their wholesale department.

The A. L. Randall Co. continues to 

 grow at an astonishing rate. A factory 

 for the complete manufacture of artifi- 

 cial flowers recently was opened in New 

 York city in the center of a colony of 

 trained workers, and now negotiations 

 are practically closed for the purchase 

 of a factory building in St. Louis, where 

 baskets and reed ware of other kinds 

 will be manufactured.
