KILLARNEYS 



There are no roses like the Killarneys, and there are no Killarneys like Randall's— our supply always is large and fine, but just now it's even 

 larger and finer than usual. Long, perfect buds on all lengths of stem; splendid color, clean foliage, strong stems. 



Fine American Beauties— all lengths 



We are now getting the largest cut qf Beauties of the season and the quality is as fine as the crop is large. Can supply any length in quantity. 



CARNATIONS 



Buyers who want to feel that they 

 are in touch with the largest sup- 

 ^^^^———^—^^■'•^^^—^^— ply and best quality of stock 

 should order of us. We ship regularly to the most distant customers, to 

 the most critical customers, and supply the biggest buyers all through 

 the middle west, from Canada to the Gulf. That shows how our Carna- 

 tions carry. We can meet your needs. Let us show you. 



SWEET PEAS 



ORCHIDS 



We are cutting a big crop of Cattleyas and 

 they are extra fine ; we can fill all orders on 

 short notice. 



These fancy, long-stemmed Peas 

 are about the most popular flow- 

 ers now in the market. Nothing 



better liked for corsage bouquets, for table centerpieces or other fine work. 



We still have the winter-blooming varieties in their best condition and 



are handling increasing quantities of the Butterfly varieties. All colors. 



These ship well. Order some today. You'll WAnt more of them.
