THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



Have You Heard the Latest? 



If not, it is certainly your own fault, for we have been doing our best to let you know of the revo- 

 lution that is impending through the introduction of our startling novelty, FLEXIBLE COLORED 

 CYCAS LEAVES. This means that instead of being confined to the use of plain green cycas of 

 unyielding firmness you have pliable, graceful cycas that will droop as desired, and that you may have 

 them in colors, should that suit your fancy. 



They come in purple, lavender, yellow, pink, red and green and are favored by those who have 

 given them a trial. May we include you in the number? 



Send us your order today and tell us also when you want to see Our Silent Salesman. 



We close at noon on Saturdays during: June, July and Augfust

SODITO-RID 



It is an effective remedy for repelling 

 mosquitoes in the gardens or in the house. 



If applied to the hands and face out- 

 doors or to the handkerchief around the 

 neck it will keep the mosquitoes away 

 from you. The same method is effective 

 indoors, or a few drops sprayed about the 

 room will drive the mosquitoes out. 



Sqvito-rid has been tested and is en- 

 dorsed by Government and State experts. 



Sold in three sizes: Quarter- 

 pints 50 cents, half-pints 80 

 cents, pints $1.25. 



We will deliver to any address, all 

 charges prepaid, if you will include 20 

 cents in addition to the above prices for 

 expressage.
