FLOWER BOXES 



Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have success in shipping 

 flowers, YOU should use them. 



We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in 

 numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes 

 for Live Plants and Floral Designs. 



Sefton Florists* Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- 

 ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to 

 give you the benefit in reasonably low prices.

A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open 

 a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas- 

 much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers 

 of our boxes were once users of the inferior grades. 



Write for prices on your requirements.

Tbe Market. 



Memorial day will go down in his- 

 tory as the one year in which there were 

 enough cut flowers, and more, to meet 

 the full wants of everyone. Never be- 

 fore were the outdoor roses to be had 

 in such profusion and perfection, and 

 mountain laurel and other wild flowers 

 were plentiful. Peonies were to be had 

 in quantities. The markets were fairly 

 swamped with peonies, mountain laurel 

 and ox-eye daisies, all of which sold 

 well, and the stores had all the trade 

 that could be handled, but more cut 

 flowers of all kinds than could be dis- 

 posed of to advantage. Coming along 

 with the Memorial day business is the 

 large number of commencements, to say 

 nothing of June weddings and heavy 

 funeral work, and all this has made it 

 hard on the florists and their clerks. 



The weather has turned extremely 

 warm and the thermometer passed 100 

 degrees June 2. Prices are good con- 

 sidering the stock. Carnations sell 

 readily at from $15 to $25 per thousand. 

 American Beauty roses are going, well 

 at $1 to $3 per dozen, and roses of all 

 colors are moving well at from $2 to 

 $12 per hundred, according to variety 

 and condition. The best sellers are the 

 Killameys. My Maryland is going 

 nicely, as is Kaiserin. Eadiance and 

 Enchanter, grown locally, are standing 

 the hot spell well. There is a limited 

 sale for sweet peas, although a better 

 grade than that now coming in cannot 

 be imagined. Lilies, both Easter and 

 calla, are plentiful, and the price has 

 been crowded down to almost nothing 

 by the enormous supply of peonies that 

 is coming in. Gardenias are still plenti- 

 ful and moving fairly well. The Texas 

 grown stock which has made its ap- 

 pearance, however, is in little demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists Co. did the 

 decorating at Eauscher's ballroom on 

 the occasion of the luncheon tendered 

 by Count von Bernstorflf, the German 

 ambassador, to the members of the Ger- 

 man fleet which is now visiting Wash- 

 ington. The decorations were carried 

 out mainly in natural oak sprays, while 

 for the table pink peonies were used to 

 good advantage.
