Green Ruscus Wreaths 

 and Crosses 



THE BEST MADE 



TIED FULL AND HEAVY 



Ruscus resembles a fine stnilax and is preserved in its natural condi- 

 tion, same as cycas leaves. The article deserves special consideration, as 

 there is nothing prettier and-more substantial, especially for holiday pur- 

 poses, as a lasting grave decoration. Temperature, rain or shine, will not 

 affect it.
