Our Florists' Supply Department, Jan. I, 1906 



We have taken extra care in selecting choice goods for our florisfs' supph- department, which 

 we open Jan. 1, 1906. A full line of staples and novelties for Easter trade. Tlie best goods. 



A. L. RANDALL CO., i9-2i Randolph St., CHICAGO 



Mention The Review when you write. 



ST. PAUL. 



The Market. 



Husiiiess lias been good all week. Stock 

 is (.-oining in nicely, not in abundance, 

 ^'I't just a sufficient amount to keep us 

 fjuiet; very often a demand is made 

 for something v.e can't supply, but the 

 smooth salesman or saleslady can in- 

 variably get the customers to take some- 

 thing 'nhJch is in stock. 



Various Notes. 



We are glad to know that our growers 

 are fast getting on to the way of grow- 

 i"g good violets and the size of some of 

 the violets is really surprising. Carl 

 Haugen figures on bringing in not less 

 than 1.5,000 this week and some of them 

 are as large as small pansies. 



E. F. Lemke is spending some of his 

 time hunting and from all reports he 

 never comes home empty-handed. L. 

 Veuzke looks after the business in good 

 shape, which relieves ^Fr. Lemke of con- 

 siderable care which the florist is bound 

 to have. 



C. F. Haupt has some fine mums which 

 he held nicely until Christmas. 



Otto Hiersekorn is steadily working 

 Avith his funeral designs and he no doubt 

 has a large number of them, just a suf- 

 ficient number to permit a trip to 

 Europe every few years. 



Now that the social season is in full 

 blast, August Vogt finds himself kept 

 busy and trade improving nicelv. 



The Eanaley Floral Co. 'is still 

 handling lots of stock and trade appar- 

 ently is good. 



Chas. A'ogt miikes a specialty of holly 

 wreaths and he certainly is an artist in 

 making them. It might pay a few of 

 our boys to get a sample from Charlie 



Samuel B. Benl has returned from 

 his coast trip for L. L. Alay & Co. and 

 is now lielping in their retail depart- 

 ment. 



Christmas trees and holly are being 

 handled by all kinds of stores. 



Felix. 



Enclosed is a two-dollar bill ; please 

 send me two Eeviews after this. — J. 'SI. 

 Smely, Aurora, 111. 



MoxTfiOMERY, Ala.— The frost of De- 

 cember 3 was the first to blight cosmos, 

 mums and roses. The Misses Wilson re- 

 port trade increasing steadily.
