fresh From the Sunny South to You 



It means a big saving to you to buy the quality of Boxwood Sprays that you can use every bit of. It means a big loss 

 to you when you pay for heavy wood and poor quality. 



We stand by every pound we ship, you take no risk on our quality or weight. Our special light-weight shipping cases are 

 express savers. Write us today for samples and prices.

Condition of Trade. . 



Had it not been for All Saints' day, 

 last week would have been exceedingly 

 poor. The week started well. On Mon- 

 day almost every florist in the city was 

 busy getting out orders for the funeral 

 of one of our most prominent citizens. 

 From then on business was extremely 

 quiet, while stock commenced to pile 

 up faster than it could be disposed of. 

 Orders for All Saints' day were nu- 

 merous and Saturday proved to be a 

 busy day for us all, although most of 

 them report that the volume of busi- 

 ness done this year for All Saints' day 

 did not come up to that of a year ago. 

 Chrysanthemums, which only a week 

 ago were hard to obtain, are abundant 

 now. The extremely large varieties 

 are still quite scarce, but there are 

 plenty of the pompons and medium- 

 sized ones. 



The weather of last week was 

 against carnations; thus they were a 

 little backward in opening and were 

 shorter in supply than they have been. 

 There were enough to fill last week's 

 requirements. Eoses are still plentiful, 

 with enough to go around and some 

 left over. Red roses and Beauties are
