WHITE LILAC 



We shall have our annual crop of Fancy White Lilac ready by the end of the present week. The 

 grower says it will be fully as good as in other years — and it always has made a hit — the fanciest flower in 

 the market. $1.50 per bunch. 



Killarneys 



Buyers agree that OUR Killarneys 

 are the finest in Chicago. A big cut 

 is on and we can supply all lengths at 

 moderate priceik 



Violets 



This is the time of year when those 

 who try can do a big business in Cor- 

 sage Bouquets of Violets. We can sup- 

 ply fine Double or Single in quantity. 



Beauties 



Our stock is fine and we have a 

 large cut. Can take good care of all 

 orders, no matter what length of stem 

 is called for. 



FANCY TREESIA 



This is Purity, the long-stemmed pure white Freeaia, and it is so fine that it is a good value at $6.00 per 100. Once tried, 



you will not be able to get along with the common kind. 



Carnations 



A big cut is on. Send along your 

 orders. You will be pleased with the 

 treatment we shall give every call.

 pointed in New Year's — because he
