Last week we advised you to order an assortment 

 of our staple and novel Plant, Fern and Art 



BASKETS!

BASKETS!!! 



This week we want to tell you about our novel, famous and wonderfully fine Peach Blow Bas- 

 kets, that once sold for five thousand dollars each. The secret of making them is a secret no longer, 

 so we are able to offer them to you at a price most reasonable. Here is an opportunity. 



Our closing suggestion today is our new 



CHAMELEON BASKETS 



They give pleasing effects in red, blue, Nile green and gray, the colors changing like a chameleon. 



Our factory is ready to fill any special order for you. 

 Consult our SILENT SALESMAN for Everything In Florists' Supplies. He will come to you upon request.

Various Notes. 



The cyclamens at Thomas Roland's, 

 Nahant, are a grand sight. There are 

 eight houses of them, over a quarter 

 of an acre, every jilant a specimen. At 

 Ke\ ere this season Mr. lioland grew 

 forty tons of tomatoes in his new hous(>,
