ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



NOVBMBEB 11, 1909. 



Are you a Florist or a Dealer in 

 Flowers ? 



The Century Dictionary defines a florist as " One who cultivates flowers; 

 one skilled in the raising of flowers, especially one who raises flowers 

 for sale." 



Did you ever see a skilled carpenter buy a cheap hammer? The skilled 

 mechanic- buys the best tools he can get to work with, because he knows 

 they are necessary for success. The idea of cheap tools is farthest from 

 his mind. How many florists consider well the quality of 

 bulbs ? Good Bulbs are as necessary as good tools, for 

 success. The skilled buyer of bulbs always buys the best. 



The Horseshoe Brand Trademark on a case signifles 

 quality. Write us.
