For MOTHERS' DAY 



MAY 9 



LARGE SUPPLY ROSES AND CARNATIONS 



CarnatioDS are in good supply with us but we are strongly urging our customers to carry all flowers, for there are never 

 enough Carnations to go around for the occasion. Roses and Sweet Peas are splendid substitutes and you will find it 

 profitable to have a good stock on hand. We are boolfing orders for Carnations for Mothers' Day at the following prices: 

 White, $5.00 per 100; Fancy Pink and Red, $4.00 to $5.(K) per 100. Prices on Roses, Beauties and miscellaneous stock 

 will be the same as quoted in our Current Price List below. Place your order for Mothers' Day as early as possible.

 growing houses 26x415 by October 1. 

 The entire plant will be given its final 

 coat of paint this fall and it already 

 ia attracting many visitors. Those in 

 the Moninger party were: P. L. McKee, 

 general manager; R. E. Kurowski, sales 

 manager; Wm. J. Donnelly, general 

 Huperintendent; M. G. Kill, manager 

 engineering department; Roy D. Tyler 

 and S. E. Denny, engineering depart- 

 ment; H. M. Berner, manager Chicago 

 sales office, and E. Series, manager ex- 

 perimental department. 



Various Notes. 



It is worth while at this juncture, 

 according to E. C. Amling, to pause to 

 consider that seldom if ever has the 

 public bought more flowers in any equal 

 length of time than has been the case 

 in the last three weeks. Prices are 

 low, but, in Mr. Amling 's view, busi- 

 ness must be good, as there is little 

 actual waste. 



Fred Liebermann expects to join the 

 forces of Kennicott Bros. Co., probably 

 this week. He is taking a few days' 

 vacation. His place with Zech & Mann 

 was filled by M. Freres, formerly with 

 Pyfer k Co. 



The excellent pink carnation Peter 

 Reinberg has been growing and selling 

 under the name of Josie Merle will 

 hereafter be known as Zoe Symonds. 

 Aa is well known, the variety origi- 

 nated with W. T. Symonds, of Decorah, 

 la., and has by him been registered as 

 Zoe Symonds. This announcement is 

 made in the hope that all who have 

 stock of the variety will use the name 

 registered by the originator.

 received 950 boxes of glass from the 

 Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., for the 

 1915 addition to their range. 



That the selling qualities of the Mrs. 

 Russell rose have not yet had a true 



test is the belief of Q. W. French and 

 his partner, Eichari Salm, who have 

 just benched 36,000 plants of it at 

 Union Grove, Wis., for the Chicago 

 market. They say the supply this sea- 

 son has not been large and steady
