small quantities of stock in this market 

 and paid with utmost promptness. For 

 Decoration day nearly every house that 

 he ever haa dealings with received a big 

 order and his standing was so good that 

 not one thus far heard from questioned 

 his credit. It was quite a shock to them 

 to receive notes written from Windsor, 

 Ont., a couple of days after Decoration 

 day, of which the following is a sample: 



"I am sorry to say that I am down 

 and out for the present. I bought the 

 greenhouse on land contract and I put 

 over $1,500 into it. I could not get my 

 money out of it and I have had to leave. 

 I am going to Alaska to try my fortune 

 there. My wife will have to try to sell 

 the place, but she will never get what 

 it is worth. I will pay you as soon as 

 I can." 



One wholesaler admits the hope that 

 Mr. Allwood may dig up $700 in the 

 Klondike, or elsewhere. 



West Madison Street. 



It does not take as long to go out 

 "West Madison street as it did in the 

 days before the cable gave way to the 

 trolley. It is only ten minutes' ride to 

 H. F. Halle's. 



Mr. Halle's work preparatory to open- 

 ing a north side branch has not sub- 

 tracted from the energy put into the west 

 side store. Competition has multiplied in 

 the years Mr. Halle has been on Mad- 

 ison street, but he still gets his share of 

 the trade — and gets good prices; he 

 handles good stock and Avill not cut to 

 the level of smaller stores. 



A step to the left, where Ogden avenue 

 branches off, one finds Charlie Fisk, do- 

 ing a good business behind his big win- 

 dow but nursing the idea that he ought 

 to get back into the wholesale line. And, 

 by the way, most of the retailers have 

 felt the last season that the wholesalers 

 have had decidedly the advantage, in 

 hours, effort required, independence, etc. ; 

 they would feel differently were supplies 

 steadily ahead of demand. 



George Asmus says business is good at 

 the old Schiller stand ; it always is when- 

 ever there is any funeral work agoing 

 on the west side. 



Mrs. Anderson, who is on the barb 

 formed by the junction of Madison and 

 Colorado avenue, does a good trade and 

 is saving money. Boston ferns are her 

 specialty and she has the neighborhood 

 full of them. 



A half mile farther on H. N. Bruns 

 has acquired the lot next door to his 

 stand. It cost him .$4,000 and looks 

 cheap at the price. He has it fenced and

 expressed on Friday received in fine condition. Carnations are as good 

 as we ever had this season." 



A Fort Worth, Texas, buyer (shipment 2 days in transit) writes, 

 June 3: "Flowers arrived in excellent condition this morning." 



These are a few of the many letters of this nature that we receive, 

 commenting upon the quality of our stock. 



It wili pay you to entrust your orders to our care
