THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



Are You Going to Rochester? 



rWjE know lots and lots of florists are going and we hope you will be one of them. 

 ■ AJ We want to meet you there, give you a glad hand and show you our 

 magnificent exhibit of florists' supplies. Mr. Bayersdorfer returned from Europe 

 last week, bringing an unusually fine selection of foreign novelties, just the sort of 

 things you want to attract people next season. You can see them to the best ad- 

 vantage at Rochester, where we will have everything ready for you in the trade 

 exhibit at Convention Hall, August lOtl^ and 18. Staff of salesmen 



will be there to show them. ;> , f j **• l|]^ ' '»'♦ ' ' '. V' 



Our novelties this season include a little x)it of French taste, some German 



ingenuity and that clever, airy style of workmanship for which the Italians are 



famous. 



We want to show you that a year's work means a year's improvement, a higher 



plane reached, and that for everything that is bOSt in florists' supplies you can 



depend on Yours faithfully.

 benefited and the outlook is less disas- 

 trous for those florists who depend 

 upon their outdoor crops and the Long 

 Island gardeners, to whom continued 

 drought would have meant financial 

 ruin. Shipments of everything in the 

 cut flower line, outside of asters and 



gladioli, are practically suspendfd. 

 There is little stock and less demaTid. 

 The best of the roses, except BeautJRSi 

 do not go above 3 cents and the avfr
