Where Service Counts 



Your customers must have the best stock obtainable for the June Wedding and Commencement work— 

 they won't be satisfied with less. That's where our " personal attention to every order " is valuable 

 to you. We see to it that you get the right grade of stock, not sometimes, but every time. 



Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas, Fancy Lilies, Valley 



We call special attention to our Maids— their equal is not to be found in this market. Also fancy 

 Killarney and Bride. Our Enchantress beat the best. All stock in large supply. Prices moderate.

Robert Northam says that George 

 Reinberg is this week cutting the 

 heaviest crop of Bichmond this seaailpl. 

 It seemed to take just the touch of hoi 

 sun that came May 28 to set them 

 going. 



The esteemed Tribune has been so 

 hot-foot on the trail of Billy Lorimer 

 that it did not hear of the marriage of 

 O. P. Bassett, March 24, until May 31, 

 when it published a scare head over an 

 account that was good reading if not 

 strictly accurate. 



Charles Zapfe, who had been in the 

 hospital for three weeks, rejoined the 

 J. A. Budlong store force in time for 

 the Memorial day rush, minus his 

 vermiform appendix and still rather 

 weak. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that there can 

 be no shortage of Beauties during June, 

 though most of their crop now is long- 

 stemmed. 



A. L. Bandall says this was not only 

 much the biggest Memorial day on- 

 record, but that he considers it the 



most satisfactory in his experience, con- 

 sidering the interests of grower, whole- 

 saler and retailer. 



Tim Matchen thinks the local retail- 

 ers had as good a Memorial day as the 

 wholesalers did. He says several who 

 stocked up heavily Saturday bought 

 again in quantity Sunday and were 

 down early Monday for further sup- 

 plies. 



Among last week's visitors were: 

 Alfred W. York, of the Lakeside Floral 

 Co., Houghton, Mich., buying Memorial 

 day supplies; N. J. Hayman, of the 

 Hayman Greenhouse Co., Clarksburg, 

 W. Va., buying greenhouse material; 

 James B, Wild, Sarcoxie, Mo., father 

 of Gilbert H. Wild, and on his first visit 

 here in seventeen years. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. will soon be- 

 gin work on an addition to the store 

 building at 22 Elm street. One of the 

 greenhouses is to be sacrificed for an 

 addition which is to contain a new 

 workroom, the present space being in- 

 adequate whefl all hands are busy 

 making up. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. states that its 

 sales last week exceeded the record for 

 the whole month of December. So much 

 for the importance of the peony as a 

 Memorial day flower. Mike Fink says 

 he ate and slept in the store from 

 Tuesday morning to Saturday night. 



Louis Wittbold says May was the 

 biggest spring month the George Witt- 

 bold Co. ever has had, but that June 

 promises splendidly. Shipping trade has 

 been especially good. A new retail 

 catalogue mailed just before Memorial 

 day is a fine example of the printing 

 arts and is bringing prompt returns. 

 The Edgebrook plant is sending stock 

 to Buckingham place at the rate of five 

 or six wagon-loads a day. 



J. Bombenger will expend about 

 $5,000 this summer in modernizing his 

 place at Woodlawn avenue and Sixty- 

 fourth street, A range of new houses 

 to cost $4,000 will be built on the Wood- 

 lawn avenue side. The neighborhood is 

 ^n excellent one, with little competi- 

 tion, though J. H, MeNeilly has just 

 opened a retail store, without green-
