JOY! 



You must have heard about it. We know it sounds good. It sounds so good because 

 it happens to be true. 



This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation over night. We have been handling 

 it for a little over two years and ought to know something about it. 



IT'S A REAL RED 



Perhaps we should call it Scarlet, 

 because it is a live, glowing Red. 



Better still, it is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it will look as good on 

 arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what it means to the man who is depending on us. 



JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center. lU.— the man who raised it— as "a strong grower, 

 early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody. 



Don't wait for the other fellow to tell you about it. Send your order in now.

The Market. 



We are having real winter this month 

 and business seems to be good. Flow- 

 ers, especially roses, are somewhat 

 scarce. Carnations and bulbous stock 

 are in much better supply. There have 

 been a good many funerals lately, as 

 well as social affairs, so flowers are in 

 demand. St. Valentine 's day is proving 

 to be a profitable day for the florists. 

 As the people are becoming more and 

 more appreciative of flowers for valen- 

 tines, the florists should help things 

 along by advertising and using special 

 boxes for the flowers sent out. There is 

 no reason why this day should not be as 

 great a day for the florists as any other 

 holiday. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Niednagel arrived home unex- 

 pectedly and reports an exceedingly 

 enjoyable trip abroad. He is cutting a 

 large number of carnations of fine qual- 

 ity, for which there is a good demand. 

 Business is rushing here, as usual. 



Karl Zeidler, Jr., has bought the busi- 

 ness of the Evansville Floral Co. and 

 is conducting the store on Second street. 

 ■ The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. reports 

 the usual good business. Valentine's 

 day was a good day for this firm. They 

 had special flower boxes, which were 

 strikingly appropriate, and which at- 

 tracted considerable attention when 

 displayed in their windows. Their cut 

 of roses and carnations is good. 



Mrs. M. L. Doerr reports a big im- 

 provement in trade as compared with 



Peerless Pink 



THE PEERLESS LEADER 



The only dark pink that is prolific. Peerless Pink will 

 produce all perfect blooms. Strong stems, large, full 

 flowers of a beautiful deep, rosy pink that will not fade or 

 turn blue on the edges. A splendid keeper and shipi^er.

 Valentine's day business was especially
