Oentlemen:— 



In our letter of last week we hinted at plans 

 lor increaslngr our rapidly growing; Wholesale 

 Department. One of the Hues along which we 

 are working is the Fall Bulb Trade, In which we 

 are making a special feature of Import Prlo«8 

 on orders whlcd are sent to us now. 



For QuAllty our stock cannot be surpassed. 

 The truth of this statement is supported by 

 the fact that our Buib business has nearly dou- 

 bled in three years. If this does not 8t>ow that 

 our customers are uleased with our bulos, we do 

 not know what would. 



If any of your readers want rock-bottom 

 import prices we invite them to send us a list of 

 their wants and get our quotations, or else drop 

 us a posial lor our Import Bulb List. 



Yours very truly, 

 W. H. D.-K. JAMKS VICK'S SONS.

Lapeer, Mich. — There is much fric- 

 :tion between W. H. Watson and D. W. 

 McElroy, the trustee who has charge of 

 Ihe l^atson assets in bankruptcy. They 

 have clashed frequently. June 1 Watson 

 locked out the trustee and McElroy 

 broke in with an ax. 



El Paso, III. — The El Paso Carna- 

 tion Co. has purchased the land upon 

 "which its greenhouses are now located 

 and will erect two new houses thereon at 

 an early date. This firm has been in 

 'business here less than a year, but has 

 built up a large cut flower and lettuce 

 trade, and the erection of the new houses 

 is essential. The manager is C. L. W. 

 Snyder. 



Savanna, III. — J. Y. Lambert says 

 Decoration day business was far in ad- 

 vance of last year. The demand was 

 Ifreatest for carnations, the price not 

 being considered. Few roses were called 

 for, white predominating. Geraniums 

 in bloom were in good demand, few 

 •other plants being called for. The out- 

 of-town orders were nearly double what 

 they were last year. Mr. Lambert will 

 build a carnation house this summer, 

 26x60 feet. 



Cold Storage Lilies 



All Live and Up-to-date Florists Grow These 



The forcing of oold storaa:* lillas is no longer an experiment. If you have not 

 already grown some of thtse we <-an refer you to hundreds of florists who make a success 

 of this method and bav<- lilies "all tbe year round"— the fame as Lily of the Valley. 



Our lilies are bought for aud placed in cold storage for the express purpose of deliv- 

 ering bulb8 in the sumnaer time. 



Lilium longiflurum and giganteum take about two months to bloom from time of plant- 

 ing from ci'ld storage; speciosum from dve to six months, so that longifloium wanted for 

 Thanlcsgiving aud Christmas should be planted about Oct. 1, and speciobum and auratum 

 about July 1. 



We have limited quantities of the following varieties on hand and offer subject to being 

 unsold and at the prices named. Will hold not later than Oct. 1 for our customers without 

 any additional charges for cold storage. ORDBR TOO AT.
