AMLING'S TODAY 



The most dependable source of Cut Flower supply in all America 



nrODAY the sales of the E. C. Amling Co. are con- 

 siderably over one million dollars annually. Among 

 the growers whose Flowers are sold at "Amling's" are 

 to be found many with nation-wide reputations, Grovjr- 

 ers holding high place for the quality of their stock and 

 for their business success. The facilities for handling 

 Cut Flowers at this store can only be appreciated after 

 a visit here. Not only does the main sales flloor con- 

 tain 18,000 square feet, but there is 10,000 cubic feet of 

 refrigerating space, operated by artificial refrigeration. 

 The lighting is of the best and there is every facility for 

 the handling of stock in such ways as not only pre- 

 serve its freshness, but actually improve its quality. 

 It is the boast at "Amling's" that every man who buys 

 100 Roses (or an equal number of any other item) gets 

 eight and one-third dozen salable flowers. 



"T^HE arrangements for serving Customers and 

 Growers are the best yet devised. When you or- 

 der Cut Flowers from "Amling's" you get the benefit 

 of selection from a complete line of stock grown by 

 over 100 expert producers. Most of these Growers 

 are specialists, growing only one or two varieties, 

 and those the ones for which they have demon- 

 strated a special aptitude. Naturally you get at 

 "Amling's" a better selection of high grade stock 

 than can be supplied by any one range of glass, or 

 by any concern of less ample facilities. When buy- 

 ing of "Amling's" you are not buying from one 

 Grower, but from many specializing growers, each 

 of whom grows that which he can grow best and 

 who grows, cuts, grades and ships his stock with the 

 one thought in mind of giving the utmost service to 

 the out-of-town Retail Florist as well as to city 

 buyers. 



At the left we see the. Rose 

 department, where eight to ten 

 thousand Roses are selected for 

 shipping orders every hour dur- 

 ing holiday seasons. Our facil- 

 ities are so adequate that this 

 large volume of but-iness is han- 

 dled without fuss or flurry, as- 

 suring each order the same 

 careful attention it would get if 

 it were the only order going out

At the right we see the entrance 

 to "AMLING'S." The "latch 

 string" always is out for all 

 visiting Florists, who never fail 

 to find here something worth 

 while to see
