To The Trade 



"Wl/E have concluded arrangements with one of the largest Foreign producers of 

 ^^ prepared Natural Magnolia LeaveSy which places us in a position to offer 

 the same at a special low rate to the trade for imported leaves. 



Magnolia Leaves are gradually taking the place of galax leaves and in many 

 instances are used by the leading florists on account of their beautiful appearance 

 and lasting qualities. Floral designs can now be mossed and made up of Magnolia 

 Leaves and kept for any length of time, and are always ready for immediate ship- 

 ment or use. Designs of Magnolia Leaves may be decorated with fresh flowers 

 in a simple or in an elaborate way. 



The keeping qualities of the Magnolia Leaf renders it more economical in use 

 than the perishable galax leaves, as there is absolutely no waste. 



These Magnolia Leaves are imported by us in bulk and repacked in sub- 

 stantial cartons, thus enabling us to offer them at the following low prices : 

 1 carton of about 1000 leaves, . . . . $1.75 carton 

 5 carton lots and over, 1.50 carton 



Special discount to Jobbers.

Mayor Harrison issued a Mothers' 

 day proclamation, but he didn't say a 

 word about flowers. Probably he 

 thought boosting the florists' business 

 would look too much like paying politi- 

 ■cal debts to his campaign manager, 

 Peter Keinberg. There's a disadvan- 

 tage in having a seat too near the 

 throne. 



L. H. Winterson says that April 29 

 was the biggest day in the history of 

 Winterson 's Seed Store. Joe Curran is 

 helping out during the rush. 



The Busy Bee Floral Co., at the cor- 

 ner of State and Monroe streets, went 

 out of business May 1. This was one 

 of the biggest buyers in the market 

 when stock was cheap. It is said the 



rent for the tiny store was $1,000 a 

 month. Since the city authorities pro- 

 hibited selling on the sidewalk, the 

 rental was not justified. 



Bassett & Washburn received the 

 first southern ferns May 1, the earliest 

 date on record. 



Being perfectly content with the lo- 

 cation of his wholesale store and still 

 intent on being in fashion, John 

 Kruchten changed residences May 1, 

 in the rain. 



Miss Josephine Then was downtown 

 May 1 for the first time since her ill- 

 ness, prior to which she was in Fried- 

 man's Congress Hotel store. 



C. W. McKellar and wife are away 

 on a three weeks' trip to Hot Springs, 

 Ark. Mr, McKellar is again suffering 

 with the blood trouble that laid him up

last winter and hopes to get rid of it on 

 the trip. 



P. L. McKee says the John C. Mon-' 

 inger Co. is having much the busiest 

 season in its history and that the firm 's 

 recent enlargement of its facilities was 

 made just in time. The boiler and pipe 

 department is becoming an important 

 one.
