SOMETHING NEW 



CALDWELL THE WOODSMAN, 

 The man who gave you the Wild smilaz. 



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? 



TKS VERDICT 



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. 



We are In receipt of your shipment of one 

 case Huckleberry Branches and are pleased 

 with It. Send by express 5 cases at once.

CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



We are now in the midst of June fes- 

 tivities, the usual number of weddings 

 and commencement exercises. Cupid has 

 not been quite as liberal in the dispensa- 

 tion of darts as heretofore, especially 

 among the wealthy class of young society 

 ladies. Large wedding decorations, which 

 call for quantities of fine flowers, are very 

 rare this season. On the other hand, 

 work for the public schools and colleges 

 will be in full swing, commencing about 

 June 15. 



The call for good flowers is increasing 

 rapidly and the quality diminishing very 

 fast, owing to the hot weather the past 

 week. Beauties locally grown are of 

 good quality and sell at a fair, price. 

 Brides and Maids have suffered consid- 

 erably the past week, both in price and 

 quality. There are a few fine flowers, 

 which command as high as $6 per hun- 

 dred, but most of the stock is sold by 

 the bulk without a price. Carnations 

 were never better at this season of the 

 year. Lawson has again regained its 

 color and is extra fine, as also are En- 

 chantress and Joost. Crane has seen its 

 best day, having succumbed to the hot 

 weather and red spider. 



Peonies are at this season of the year 

 what the chrysanthemums are in the fall. 

 They fill in very satisfactorily for deco- 

 rations and are also used for commence-
