 The Leading Wholesale Evergreen Dealer in Philadelphia 



^■^ 



The BuccesB, satisfaction and consequent demand for Christmas Greens of my pack has 

 been so pronounced since I entered the field in a jobbing way several years ago, that I 

 concluded to publish this advertisement for the infoimation and assistance of the Leading 

 Florists and Dealers, and it is submitted herewith primarily with the hope, of course, of 

 securing your future business. A trial order will convince you. 



HOLLY 



For several years I had been buying my holly from 

 dealers or packers in Delaware and Maryland. People 

 out and pack holly jtist before Christmas and bring it 

 to the station to sell, and in order to get a car load 

 at any one station, I was often compelled to buy 

 from sometimes a dozen different people. Some of 

 them cut it in short sprigs and have good, bright 

 holly, while others cut long branches, poor holly and 

 very few berries. This was very unsatisfactory to 

 me. so a few years ago I decided to buy the trees 

 as they stood in the woods, cut and pack it myself, 

 or at least have my own men do so, and in this 

 manner I cut only what suits me, and grade It to 

 suit my trade. I have secured for this season some 

 of the finest swamp holly trees there are to be 

 found in the State of Delaware. I cut sixteen (16) 

 car loads last season and it was impossible to fill my 

 late orders satisfactorily. However, I did the best 

 I could, and only had one party return a few cases 

 as unsatisfactory. I expect to cut at least twenty- 

 five (25) car loads this season. The weather has 

 been favorable and there is plenty of good holly, and 

 It is well berried. Kindly let me have your orders 

 early. I will have it cut and packed as usual, in 

 regular size cases, 2x2x4, and I positively guarantee 

 it as represented in every particular. My first car 

 will arrive in Philadelphia on Tuesday, December 

 1st, and the price same as before, on all orders 

 received during November, $3.00 per case F. O. B. 

 Philadelphia. I cannot guarantee the price on orders 

 received after December 1st. 



I will continue to pack, as I have done in the past, 

 my GILT-EDGE BRAND. This holly is specially 

 selected, short stemmed, dark grreen, and full of ber- 

 ries. Guaranteed extra fancy; price, |4.00 per case. 



HOLLY WREATHS 



I have my wreaths made of the brightest dark 

 green holly possible to secure. They are wrapped 

 with wire on 10-inch hoops, each wreath having 4 

 or five clusters of bright red holly berries firmly fast- 

 ened on them. I use nothing but the holly berries 

 in trimming, as they do not turn black and fall off 

 like the dog berries that several makers use because 

 they are a little cheaper. My hoops are strong and 

 well made, so as to stand handling. I make three 

 gradesv priced according to weight and quality, $10.00, 

 $12. 5Q -and $15.00 per hundred. Cases contain 100, 125, 

 150 wreaths. Large cases, 200 and 250; but we can 



pack you any quantity you may want from one dozen 

 to one thousand. 



We sometimes have BOXWOOD WREATHS made 

 the same as holly wreaths, and sell them from $10.00 

 to $12.50 per hundred.

Our mistletoe mostly comes from North and South 

 Carolina and lower part of Virginia, and is well ber- 

 ried and pretty, and sells according to quality. We

 and In cases, weighing about 100 pounds, $10.00 to

 and shipping any of the above packages.

 or in the wreathing of 10 and 25-yard rolls. The

TPDMCt -^^^ Christmas greens are sold on spot cash terms and your check must positively accompany 

 ■ ■-■*"""^* your order. State the day you want it shipped and if by express or freight, and name route 

 if possible. In reference to my responsibility ask Dun's or Bradstreefs, or write the Sixth National Bank or 

 Mutual Trust Co., of our city. I have been in business on Dock street since 1891 and my reputation is be- 

 yond reproach, hence I ask you not to confound my goods with the shoddy stock that finds its way each sea- 

 son to the large cities on consignment. My goods are strictly first-class and I guarantee satisfaction.
