'/BLUE RIBBON" EASTER BASKETS 



It should take precious little persuasion to get your order for some of these baskets. We have figured the prices down 

 to about as low as we can make them. If we are sure of anything, it is that this is the best basket bargain opportunity that 

 will be presented you for many a day. You will be missing a royal chance if you let it go by. Something is radically wrong 

 if these baskets don't strike you right. They are our own manufacture, finished with extreme care, and represent basket- 

 making at its best. We don't believe there are any Plant Baskets to touch them. 



Our No. 76, for an 8-inch fern dish, is a close-woven reed basket with ivory willow handle. We offer it at 90c plain, 

 $1.00 if colored. Our No. 53, nest of 4 baskets, we oflfer at $2.50 for the complete nest plain, $3.00 if colored. Baskets col- 

 ored as specified. Nest consists of 4 baskets, for 6, 7, 8 and 9-inch pots, one of each size. 



A GENERAL WORD ON BASKETS 



If you have a special design in mind, why not send us a sketch and we will submit you a sample in a day or two? No 

 matter liow difficult the job, it won't scare us. Our basket-makers are thoroughly skilled men, accustomed to all varieties 

 of reeds, willows and ratUns. It will be a pleasure to serve you in this respect. We have made a number of elaborate 

 Plant Stand, Vase. Plateau and other effects for prominent florists in the large centers. Don't overlook us the next time 

 you need a special basket or kindred work.
