The Weekly Rorists' Review* 



Mat 16, 1912. 



The Florists' Supply House of America 

 FOR MEMORIAL DAY 



METALLIC DESIGNS : The name suggests something hard and cold, so that we really ought to change this name 

 to "Nature's Choice Blossoms," because we have learned to combine the beauty of nature with the durability of 

 art. We offer you in Memorial Day Designs perfect combinations of flowers and foliage made in our own factory. 

 We cannot too strongly advise you to take sudvantage of our offer to place these beautiful Wreaths, Crosses, etc., 

 before your patrons. 



CREPE PAPER FLOWERS: Roses, Carnations, Dahlias, Wistaria, Lilies, Hyacinths, Orchids and Chrysanthe- 

 mums—in short, all standard varieties of flowern made so perfectly that you can use them without hesitation in 

 work where durability is an essential. 



BASKETS : The use of Baskets for both plants and cut flowers is increasing for Memorial Day. See to it that your 

 stock is complete in all styles and sizes. 



CYCAS LEAVES : Our Standard Cycas Leaves are the standard the world over.

 also been ordered by John C. Schmidt, 

 York, Pa.; Miss G. V. Wakelin, Quinton, 

 N. J.; Stevenson Bros., Baltimore, and 

 Albert Beckman, Baspeburg, Md. Mr. 

 Wright particularly requests that these 

 contracts be credited to the Philadel- 

 phia office, lest it be thought that this 

 is all his company is doing. No one can 

 fail to see that Mr. Wright is setting a- 

 pace for the other offices, be they asso- 

 ciative or competitive, that will make 

 them hustle to maintain.

' ' NO OTHEB ADVEBTISINa DONE. ' ' 



An increasingly large number of let- 

 ters from advertisers who report being 

 sold out of stock contain the informa- 



tion that no other advertising than that 

 in The Review has been needed to move 

 the supply — like this one: 



Please stop my moonvine ad — plants all sold, 

 thanks to the Classified list. No other sdvertisinK 

 done. Won't have nearly enough to fill orders, 

 and all by the Classified list. — John F. Rupp, 

 Shiremanstown, Pa., May 10, 1912.
