THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



WEDDINGS AND COMMENCEMENTS 



You have filled orders for both weddings and commencementB and you will fill many more before the end of the 

 month. Better look over your stock today, decide what you need and let us know quickly so that you will have the 

 things in time. 



For weddings we suggest the complete wedding outfit for church or house, consisting of 



ARCHES GATES POSTS SCREENS KNEELING STOdL 



WHITE CORD and those TALL VASES suitable for Beauties or Peonies. 

 For your bouquets nothing is prettier than the White Bouquet Holders with Pink Lace and for less elaborate 

 affairs the pretty Paper Bouquet Holders are always useful. 



Then, too, there are Chiffons and dainty French Baskets for matrons and flower girls. 



For commencements we suggest a variety of Long Handled Baskets, an assortment of styles and sizes that will 

 give you an opportunity to select just what your customer wants for any variety of flower and any size of puree. 

 Send for OUR SILENT SALESMAN, who can tell you about Everything in Florists' Supplies. 

 WE CLOSE AT NOON SATURDAY DURING JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST.
