ILLINOIS"^ 



THE ORIGINAL 



Self -Watering Flower Box 



Pat. Jan. 29, 1907 



All metal and guaranteed for a period of five years against rot, rust and leakage. (Will easily last ten.) The 

 ILLINOIS Self-Watering Flower Box is the original and has a national reputation. It is designed on scientific princi- 

 ples and makes the growing of plants ap easy matter. An amateur cannot help but grow plants successfully with the 

 ILLINOIS box and the florist can be sure of many repeat orders and no complaints of bis plants not growing. 

 We also manufacture and sell a self-\^tering pan to be used in the ordinary wood boxes.

 Mr. Dietsch thinks that Havana has 

 the finest climate in the world and is 

 returning much improved in health. 



There doubtless are places where com- 

 petition is keener, but the trade rivalry 

 in the thirty nine hundred block on 

 North Clark street has been active 

 enough to suit almost anyone. There 

 are three well equipped, well kept

Tbe Market. 



Mothers' day business was good. It 

 served to substantially clean up the 

 market of almost all flowers. White 

 carnations naturally enjoyed the 

 strongest call and receipts were far 

 short of the demand. 



May 10 the tone of the market was 

 much better than on any Monday since 

 Easter. Eeceipts were rather limited 

 and cleaned up readily. The whole- 

 salers are confidently expecting a bet- 

 ter market in the future than we have 

 had for some time in the past. Be- 

 ports indicate we will have a good 

 supply of all seasonable lines from 

 now on and this supply will be able 

 to take care of daily needs and still 

 not glut the market.
