Denver, Colo., Dec. 21, 1905. 

 Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111. 



Gentlemen : — Replying to your favor of the 19th inst., you 

 may book our order for 2,500 "Aristocrat" at price mentioned. 

 We certainly hope that there will be no occasion to take 

 advantage of the privilege of cancellation. If It shows up 

 as well in another year as it has shown where I have seen 

 it exhibited, there ought to be no question as to its value. 



Yours truly, 

 (Signed) J. A. VALENTINE.

 able to secure such a grand carnation as "Aristocrat." I

Of Interest to Retail Florists 



Louisville, Ky., Dec. 27, 1905. 

 Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111. 



Dear Sir : — It was with a great deal of pleasure that I 

 noted the unpacking of carnations on my Christmas order. 

 In this shipment there was not one broken bloom, and the 

 quality was by far better than any blooms to be seen in this 

 market, and we experienced no trouble in selling Enchantress 

 and Fiancee at $2.50 per dozen. 



With many thanks for the careful manner in which you 

 handled this, as well as previous shipments, I beg to remain. 



Very truly yours, 



(Signed) JACOB SCHULZ. 



Dallas, Texas, Dec. 26, 1905. 

 Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111. 



Dear Sirs : — The box of flowers you shipped on the 21st 

 arrived Sunday afternoon, a day later than we expected them. 

 Will state, however, that they arrived In perfect condition. 

 The packing was perfect and the flowers were the finest we 

 handled in a long time, and we must thank you very much 

 for sending us such nice stock put up In such nice shape. 



You no doubt have complaints once in a while and will 

 probably appreciate knowing that the flowers arrived In such 

 good shape from such a long distance, being on the road as 



long as they were. At what price could you take a standing 

 order for carnations and how long does it usually take them 

 to come from Joliet to Dallas? 



Again thanking you for your good attention to our order 

 and wishing you the compliments of the season, we are. 



Very truly yours, 

 (Signed) TEXAS SEED & FLORAL CO.
