The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



July 29, 1909. 



Summer Baskets 



We have some new importations, fresh styles that will please you. Better get a few now and have 

 something original to offer your customers when needed. We especially call your attention to a pretty 

 Willow Baskety deep, square top, with long handle, that we think will make up attractively, and 

 also our tall TWIg Baskets* with pans, painted deep green to match our toneware vases. They 

 are most effective. 



Our Novelty Ferneries. Last week we called your attention to our Cut Glass Bowls, with nickel-plated 



ftans to match. These are such a good thing that you will make no mistake in using them. Cycas Leaves. The 

 argest stock in the country of broad, perfect Palm Leaves, in assorted sizes. 



To Our Friends : Yes, we will all be at the Cincinnati Convention and we hope to meet you there. 



Everything; in Florists* Supplies. Send for our Illustrated Catalogue.

The Market 



Last week was a fairly good one, ac- 

 cording to reports from some of the 

 leading retail florists, who say that fu- 

 neral work has been quite plentiful. 

 This, with work from some of the sum- 

 mer garden stars, used up a lot of stock 

 last week. The wholesalers say first- 

 class stock was in good demand in roses 

 and carnations, but the stock in these 

 is only limited.

First-class asters sell well. These are 

 becoming plentiful. White and purple 

 sell best of any. There is a lot of fine 

 gladiolus spikes in the market and they 

 are selling cheap, $2 per hundred and 

 cheaper in thousand lots. Valley, too, 

 is fine, but slow sale. The market has 

 everything in greens.
