Coldwater, Mich., June 3, 1905. 



Peter Reinberg, Wholesale Cut Flowers, 



51 Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111. 

 Dear Sir: We wish to thank you for the Good Carnations 

 you sent us for Decoration Day. If all the wholesale houses 

 would send out as good stock there would be no kick from the 

 retailers. Can you tell us what the scarlet was you sent us? 

 If you have any stock of it to sell, we want some. 



Respectfully, 



VAN AKEN BROTHERS. 



Peter Reinberg's ^Ij^pj Monlnr liberty, Chatenay, Red Carnations

nations were starting nicely. John 

 Stanley is the grower in charge. He 

 may well feel proud of the really ex- 

 cellent condition cf the entire stock. 

 The major part of the cut is handled 

 to advantage by Wm. J. Moore. Water 

 is supplied by a ram, worked by a gas- 

 oline engine, from a stream below and 

 stored in a huge tank.

 original removal notice, which will at- 

 tract attention wherever received.

 his customers that wins him many 

 friends.

 ing will be utilized.

 pointed B. Eschner, of M. Eice & Co., 

 as a traveling delegate for the S. A. F.

 Atlantic City flower festival on Wed- 

 nesday.

 au increased demand for Araucaria ex-

 entire stock of 15,000 geraniums. 



The Henry A. Dreer Co. has disposed 

 of its large stock of Killarney rose in 

 P-inch and 6-inch pots. The demand 

 for this Irish beauty for outdoor plant-

 when it is considered it is by no means 

 a novelty.

 great shock to his friends. He was 

 gardener for E. C. H. Brock, 1612

 age. His plants in the noted Baldwin 

 collection have won many prizes in 

 the earlier days of the Pennsylvania
