If the Roses you are using are not satisfactory, order some of those. 



These Roses sell fast, because they are of better quality than can be found elsewhere, but we aim to 

 have some in the store at all times for rush orders. Splendid color; good solid heads on medium to long 

 stems. We want you to try these because we know you will like them. 



Fancy Trianae— the finest Cattleyas in town. 



If you use Orchids it will pay you to get in touch with us— and if you have a flower store 

 and don't use Orchids, now is the time for you to begin. Ours is fancy, home-grown stock; nothing 

 finer ever seen in the Chicago market, or anywhere else; largest flowers, best colored. So large a 

 supply we can quote interesting prices to quantity^buyers.

 carnations and spring bedding stock. 

 The new owners, who took possession at 

 once, will continue to grow cut flowers

Various Notes. 



At the regular meeting of the Eetail 

 Florists' Association of Chicago, Mon- 

 day, February 2, about .100 members 

 were present and twenty applications 

 for membership were received. An ex- 



hibit was staged by Wertheimer Bros., 

 who also donated a ribbon case which 

 was raffled off and won by Julius 

 Zschau. Poehlmann Bros. Co. showed a

 secretary.

 Windsor Park station February 1, His 

 mother was Miss Ida Jegen, daughter 

 of J. J, Jegen, both well known to the
