Wish to thank the Florists of America for the unanimous endorsement with which they greeted their Catalog and for 

 the many and generous orders with which their approval was accompanied. 



The results so far attained have been beyond our expectations and the Catalog is now running in its third edition 



OUR SEVENTEEN YEARS* EXPERIENCE IN THE RIBBON BUSINESS has taught us wherein ribbons 

 used for floral purposes should differ from those used in the general ribbon trade and our ribbons made to blend with 

 flowers show the result. 



With the continuance of the patronage you have given us we will endeavor to merit the position in which you have 

 placed usasbeingTHE LEADING MANUFACTURERS OF FLORAL RIBBONS AND CHIFFONS IN AMERICA.

No Botch Work 

 in the Manufacture 

 of our Wire Designs 



To make up a good Floral Piece you must avoid 

 the "Wabbly Effect" produced in the filling of a 

 light and cheaply constrticted Wire Frame. We 

 are in a position to undersell all wire lists, pro- 

 viding conditions in the construction of Wire Work 

 are the same. We offer no large discounts on high 

 lists.

dant. Orchids are none too plentiful. 

 The marriage of Miss Roosevelt will use

 nation night and exhibition, and the lec- 

 tures by C. W. Ward and Robert Craig. 

 Plenty of valley, lilies, mignonette and 

 sweet peas and to spare. Green goods, 

 too, are a sufficiency. Violets are evi- 

 dently settled in the niche they have 

 made for themselves; 50 cents for the 

 best fresh ones, with an occasional spurt 

 to 75 cents for the specials and a come- 

 back to 60 cents. Leftovers go at 25 

 cents and the streets are full of them.
