Wanted: H Name 



We are searching for a name for our best grade of Roses — a word that 

 will express the difference between our longest stock and the best other 

 stock in the market. Better send today for some of the Roses — then you 

 will appreciate the difference, and perhaps you can tell us just the word 

 we should use.

 stock. All stock billed at Current Chicago Market rates.

Will Graff returned to Columbus Mon- 

 day evening after having spent a week 

 in this market. He says they have had 

 considerable trouble through carnations 

 being asleep Avhen they reached Colum- 

 bus. He has convinced himself that the 

 fault lies with the express company, and 

 not at all with the shippers, and he 

 thinks he has made enough noise around 

 the general oflSces in Chicago so that cut 

 flower boxes will get at least a little of 

 the great amount of special attention 

 the express companies tell us is given 

 flower shipments.

 siderable quantities of gladioli.

 ments at the capital.
