The ideas illustrated in this Valentine's Number show how our Val- 

 entines will look when finished. 



The Two-Tone Baskets are one of our best ideas. Everyone wants 

 th^m. We finish all styles of baskets in two tones, using the best 

 flower colors. 



Note the Lace Paper Bouquet Holder used on Valentine's bouquets. 

 It gives a smart effect. 



Heart-Shaped Baskets are popular for Valentines. We have all sizes 

 and all colors.

Shrubs and trees are budding, pansies 

 are in bloom. No such winter as this 

 has ever been known in New York and 

 vicinity. The week in the wholesale cut
