The Florists' Review 



25 



FOR ALL SAINTS' DAY 



It is important that you buy your flowers direct of a large grower who 

 will guarantee that the flowers are fresh and not over-ripe. We never hold back 

 our flowers for a holiday, as we know our customers would quit us if we did; 

 therefore, send in your orders early .before we are sold out. Choice Carnations very 

 scarce. We recommend our Pompons in place of Carnations, as they are very fine. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS — the best con^^^jrcial varieties. 

 CHRYSOLORA— the finest large Yellow and our own extra large White. 



Choice Roses and Beauties all our own growth

 ing frequent meetings, perfecting ar- 

 rangements for the chrysanthemum ex- 

 hibition at the Art Institute November 

 5 to 7. The Chrysanthemum Society 

 of America numbers among its mem- 

 bers the foremost growers of mums 

 m this country and the fact that this 

 18 the annual exhibition of that so- 

 ciety in conjunction with the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago and the

 is to arrange to send violets here reg- 

 ularly.

 ' ' Harry Polsley has closed a deal for a 

 sale to F. Bahr, of Chicago, of sixty

 have already started the Sunday work, 

 usual before the holidays. 



The new retail store of H. N. Bruns 

 is almost completed. The construc- 

 tion work is done and all that re- 

 mains is the interior finishing. There 

 have been many delays, due to strikes, 

 etc., but Mr. Bruns hopes to have the 

 glass set in the show windows this 

 week, which will enable him to move 

 in at once.
