SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE TRADE:- 



Oving to the backwardness of the outdoor growing season, as 

 the largest growers of Peonies In the world we are forced to 

 delay our advertising one week, or until such time as our growers 

 can assure us of a Decoration Day crop. 



It Is safe to say, with the hundreds of thousands of plants 

 we own or control, that we will have at least a fair cut for 

 Decoration Day. watch our ads from next Issue on. We will do 

 our best to give you the right information on this Important 

 crop. Above all, don't forget that the Peony is the Decoration 

 Day flower. 



As old line commission men, we will also 

 flowers in season, and as we figure ourselves 

 at this holiday, you can feel safe in placing 

 with us for Roses, Carnations, Perns, Galax, Boxwood and PEONIES. 



Very respectfully yours, 



KENNICOTT BROS. CO. 



We have purchased 10 acres of Peony plants from the Chicago Carnation Co. and must dig this 

 stock next fall. As this buy was made just to obtain the Richardson's Rubra Superba, you can buy 

 all the other varieties at your own price. Everyone knows the Chicago Carnation Co. had the finest 

 varieties money could buy — and now we are going to let you name the price. All must be sold, 

 regardless of value.
