ASTERS

 in other years. As usual, they are much the best outdoor Asters of 

 the season — better than most of the Asters grown under glass. Also 

 large supplies of the grades that sell at lower price^. ,

 ward to an early opening of the autumn 

 season. 



T. C. Yarnall, of the J. B. Deamud 

 Co., reports that G. Swenson, at Elm- 

 hurst, and A. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton,

At the store of Poehlmann Bros. Co.,

 markable summer. They are filling as 

 many shipping orders as in the winter, 



and practically every buyer who can- 

 celed his standing order at the end of 

 June has reinstated, from which Mr. 

 Frese figures that summer business 

 with the retailers through the country 



irajIVERY now and then a well- 

 1191 pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



iMf^ 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser, ^e especially wish to interest 

 those selling; articles of florist's use 

 not at present advertised.

 before.

 orders, mostly for bouquets but includ- 

 ing a few baskets, for the opening of 

 the Cort theater August 4. 



At Peter Eeinberg's city store Tim 



Matchen and his assistants are taking 

 advantage of every lull to get the place 

 repainted and brightened up.

 Store, is spending a week 's vacation in

 Illinois State Florists' Association, will

 Co. will erect a model house, 12x18, in
