The Florists' Review 



43 



A Big Day at Your Store — 



Decoration Day and all other days will insure you prosperity-bringing patronage 

 if you display and sell Randall flowers. — 



Gorgeous Full Cupped Peonies 



No flower so generous in its bloom— so fresh in color— so long liyed as these 

 aristocratic Peonies. 



During the busyj^art of yesterday I saw a prosperous business man turn aside 

 to look in a florist's window. That stern old face relaxed and bis ej es softened 

 when they beheld a basket of fresh opening Peonies. What thoughts of long- gone 

 yesterdays came to him I don't know, but he went into that store. 



Peonies made that sale. There is something of romance and lender memories 

 in their Springtime freshness and perfume that makes them the season's most 

 popular flower. 



Be sure your stock of Peonies and other flowers is fresh and complete. 



Baskets Increase Your Sales 



Flowers put up in baskets bring a better price and you make profit on the 

 basket. 



No. 814-1 is just right for Peonies. 23 inches high with a body 8 inches deep. 

 Fitted with glass container and finished in two-tone combinations: White and Nile 

 Green, White and Moss Green, Antique Gold, Blue and Gold, While and Pink, 

 White and Baby Blue. 



This beautiful basket will cost you only 60c. Filled with peonies or other 

 flowers it will bring you not less than three dollars— and is usually sold from 

 four to five dollars.

flouth and the quantities in storage are 

 not nearly so large as last year, but 

 there is a feeling that if any other 

 flower runs short there will be peonies 

 to take its place. Cape .iasmine will 

 be less plentiful than in recent years, 

 in several of which they had little 

 value. 



With normal weather, conditions 

 favor a banner business, with indica- 

 tions that the man who does not order 

 until day of shipment will be rather 



likely to meet the same experience as 

 at Mothers' day. 



Moving Day. 



For three weeks a force of men have 

 been extremely busy remodeling, fur- 

 nishing and decorating the street floor 

 at 160 North Wabash avenue recently 

 vacated by Harry C. Rowe. The space 

 which heretofore has been divided for 

 more than one tenant, has been thrown 

 into one large room, new iceboxes 



have been installed, with a Kroeschell 

 ice machine in the storage room in the 

 basement, and May 23 Kyle & Foerster 

 will move in, opening for business at 

 the new address Monday morning, 

 thereby doubling their facilities. 



At the same time the .John Kruchten 

 Co. will come into active operation, C. 

 L. Sherer having joined the Kruchten 

 brothers this week. The company will 

 remove to the quarters vacated by 

 Kyle & Foerster and open for business
