Order Ribfions Today 



The plant or basket or bouquet is so very attractive when it has a 

 bow tied on. And ribbons are not expensive, even the good kind — when 

 you buy them direct from the manufacturer. Here is a mill weaving 

 Ribbons as good as they can be woven. Weaving qualities and kinds 

 ESPECIALLY FOR FLORISTS. Matching colors to flowers and foliage. 

 And yet these same ribbons cost you no more than the usual sort, fre- 

 quently less costly. DO NOT LET YOUR STOCK OF RIBBONS RUN LOW.

 room. 



H. N. Bruns says that although val- 

 ley pip shipments are somewhat slower 

 in coming than they were last year, 

 nevertheless the quality is exceptionally 

 fine, in fact quite a little better than 

 one year ago. 



At Vaughan & Sperry's it is said 

 carnation plants are full of buds and 

 that all that is needed to relieve the 

 present scarcity is a few warm, bright 

 days.

 manager, has put into service a new
