AMERICAN BEAUTIES 



The Best of all Summer Roses 

 it you get them absolutely fresh 



They do not suffer from rehandling if you get them here. 



They do not suffer from delay after cutting, if you get them here. 



But one handling — from our cooling room direct to you. 



Can't you realize what a difference it makes, what an advantage 



it is to get them from the grower direct? 

 We grow 40,000 Beauties and 40,000 other roses. 

 Besides, we give you the advantage of very moderate prices. 

 Notice the difference from what you have been paying.

 an order this week with the John G. 

 Moninger Go. for a new house, 28x165 

 feet, to replace one of the houses now 

 in use. The Sinner plant will soon be 

 of modern construction, as a new house

 to be built with concrete walls and will 

 be ready by fall. 



H. H. Wilkerson, with H. Wittbold, 

 is a tennis player and is ready to take 

 on anyone for the trade championship. 

 On the Washington park courts, across 

 from his residence, he enjoys a good 

 deal of respect among the followers of 

 the game. Just before breakfast is his 

 favorite hour for taking on all comers. 



Fred Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, says 

 there is so much work on hand that the 

 chances of a vacation before the August

 better, according to the letters he has 

 received from his son.

 undertaking at Downers Grove. 



In spite of the delay caused by the

Chas. F. Kitzerow, of Milwaukee, was 

 in Chicago July 28, completing the pur- 

 chase of fittings for his new house, 27x
