Extra Strong 



Improved Beauty 



TISSUE PAPER 



A Superior Wrapping Titiue DcTeloped by A. L Randall Co. 



Improved Beauty Tissue Paper has long 

 been recognized as a superior article. 

 Now, by a most favorable contract, we 

 can offer it to the trade at a price so low it 

 seems a miracle. Along with this record- 

 breaking cut in cost is the very highest 

 quality. Improved Beauty Tissue is extra 

 strong — unusually white — highly glazed 

 — moisture-proof and economical to use. 



A perfect product at a bargain price.

This is an actual photograph of a bundle of Randall's 

 Beauty Tissue It contains 4000 sheets of clean, white, 

 strong tissue, put up in ten reams of 400 sheets each. 

 These sheets measure 24x36-inch. Note some wrapping 

 tissue is only 20x30-inch. Thus Improved Beauty con- 

 tains 43% more paper per sheet than the smaller size.

Memorial Day Prospects. 



The market has been thrown into a 

 state of UJiecrtainty by the sudden 

 realization that the late frosts in south 

 ern Indiana and Illinois did great dam 

 Jige to the peonies on which the trade- 

 has depended to a large extent to meet 

 the Memorial day demand. At the time 

 of the frosts it was thought the buds 

 were not far enough advanced to be 

 affected, or that the frosts were not 

 heavy enough to do damage in the 

 more southerly fields. Within the last 

 week, however, it has become ap])arent 

 that the principal fields from which 

 would come the supply for this back- 

 ward season have been practically 

 ruined. The more northerly fields will 

 not I)e ready; the earlier ones are dam- 

 aged perhaps seventy-five per cent. As 

 a result the market must depend princi- 

 pally on indoor flowers to meet a de- 



mand greatly increased by the lack of 

 the usual quantities of outdoor flowers. 



There will be only moderate supplies 

 of roses, carnations, sweet peas and 

 other greenhouse flowers. The prob- 

 ability that there is a warm spell due 

 soon to make up for the recent weeks 

 of cold leads to the belief that the sup- 

 ply will be somewhat larger than at 

 present, but how it can make up for the 

 loss of thousands of dozens of peonii's 

 no one can see. As a result an unprece- 

 dented demand for short roses is ex- 

 pected, as for carnations. As to prices, 

 the belief is that what peonies there are 

 will command 12 cents to 1:1 cents, that 

 good carnations should fetch 8 cents to 

 10 cents and that short roses will be less 

 tlian the demand at 10 cents up. There 

 is no disposition to raise the price of 

 long roses, as it is recognized Memorial 

 day is a quantity day rather than, like 

 Christmas, a quality day. 



Ferns will be scarce and those who 

 use quantities in their Memorial day 



cemetery bouquets will do well to make 

 sure of their supply. The general quo- 

 tation is $6 j)er thousaml, but some 

 large dealers have withdrawn quota- 

 tions, fearing the market is going still 

 higher. Other greens are seasonably 

 al)undant. 



Toot! Toot! 



The trade 's participation in the 

 I'ageant of Progress during the first 

 half of August gives promise of turn- 

 ing into something in the nature of a 

 florists' convention and trade exhibi- 

 tion. There are thous.'inds of florists 

 who would rather visit Chicago during 

 the summer than to go anywhere else. 

 This is the center of the trade to them 

 and they like to coiii(> to town and look 

 things over. With al)out 10,000 square 

 feet of exhibition space available on 

 the Municipal Pier, the committee in 

 charge thinks the time ])ropitious for 

 a big trade gathering. The idea may 

 develop along the lines of inviting all
