SOMETHING NEW 



CALDWELL THE WOODSMAN, 

 The man ^^ho gave you the Wild amilax. 



TK£ VESDXCT 



The case of Huckleberry was very satis- 

 factory as a decorating green, and we wish 

 to compliment you on the new discovery 

 for decorating at this time of year. 



FRED C. WEBER, St. Louis, Mo. 



Now that the season for Wild 

 Smllax is over and no more 

 stock can be supplied, I wish 

 to call your attention to the 



Branches of the 

 Huckleberry Tree 



as a most elegant Decorative 

 Green. It is largely used by the 

 Florists of the Pacific Coast, 

 Washington and Oregon In 

 decorations. The branches are 

 FLAT, very thickly furnished 

 with exceedingly lustrous, 

 green leaves, and It seems to 

 adapt Itself to almost any 

 position In decoration that the 

 Wild Smllax can be used In. 



As the Introducer of South- 

 em Wild Smllax, I think you 

 can give me credit for know- 

 ing a good thing when I see 

 It, and I am convinced that In 

 Huckleberry branches you will 

 have a very beautiful substi- 

 tute for the Wild Smllax, of 

 great value to you through the 

 months of May and June. I am 

 anxious to get the verdict of 

 the Floral trade on this Intro- 

 duction and offer to send you a 

 Case on Suspicion, price 12.50 

 per case if It suits you, nothing 

 if it does not. Will you try a 

 case on these terms? 



We are in receipt of your shipment of one 

 case Huckleberry Branches and are pleased 

 with it. Send by express 5 cases at once.

 reached us In good condition and we used 

 them very effectively In a church decora- 

 tion which gave entire satisfaction to our 

 customer. THE G ASSER CO. , Cleveland, O. 



The Huckleberry Branches are a GO.

BALTIMORE, MD. 



If we had suffered a soaking 

 rain on Memorial day, business could 

 not have been much worse. Large ship- 

 ments of flowers came in on Monday 

 morning, especially of carnations and 

 peonies, but the demand was unusually 

 light for that day, falling far behind 

 recent years. Thousands of peonies and 

 carnations went to the bad, and, as the 

 manager of the Exchange said, we had 

 not enough vases to put up the stuff 

 in water. The same can be said of the 

 eity markets, where there is a large re- 

 tail business in cut flowers and plants. 



Usually the larger part of the people 

 want something in cheaper flowers for 

 grave decorations and naturally go to 

 the market for them. The report in gen- 

 eral is that everything sold very slowly, 

 even at low prices, and a great many 

 flowers were taken back home. A. F. 



CLAY CENTER, KAN. 

 On May 24, this vicinity was visited by 

 one of the most severe hail storms of 

 which there is record in this state. The 

 hail was of prodigious size and did a 

 great deal of damage, both S, D, Brant 

 and C. Humfeld losing much glass. The 



latter had just 17,210 feet of glass area, 

 of which only about 900 feet is left, and 

 his stock was badly cut up. He is re- 

 glazing as rapidly as possible and has 

 material and glass on the ground for 

 a new range of 12,000 feet, which will 

 give him badly needed facilities for an- 

 other season. 



Sedalia, Mo.— Chas. Pfeiffer reports 

 that the local demand for all lines of 

 stock is increasing very satisfactorily 

 and gives promise for many better sea- 

 sons than the one just closing, which was 

 the best to date.
