ARE YOU SATISFIED 



with the way your flowers look when you send them out? 

 Wouldn't they look better if the Ribbons matched better, or 

 if the quality was better ? 



Ever Try Pine Tree Ribbons ? 



They match better, for the silk in the skein is dyed to match 

 the general run of flowers and foliages. And the quality is 

 better, and yet you pay lets. Vou cut out the commission 

 house, and the jobber, and Save All Between Profits.

62. What is meant by the note, 



' ' Thomas Meehan is receiving excep- 



tionfelly fine Beauties with the trade- 



mark double H double B on the fol- 

 iage?" 



This should have read the S. S. Pen- 

 noek-Meehan Co., and was intended to 

 convey the idea to the initiated whence 

 came this choice stock. 



Referring again to question No. 60, I 

 am afraid the grower is too far off to 

 ship the sweet peas satisfactorily during 

 the heated term. Phil. 



The funeral of Thomas Meehan, Jr.,
