The Florists^ Review 



JUNK 27, 1912. 



Lilies- 



96.00 to $6.00 per 100, in lots of 60 or more 



Peonies 



98.00 to $6.00 per 100— special prices on 1000s 



■nOR THE decorations this week, there are two indispensable flowers— Lilies and Peonies. They are not only the largest 

 IB and showiest flowers, but they are among the cheapest of good flowers at this season. Note the prices above. We can 

 supply Lilies in large quantities without notice— thousand lots as easily as dozens. Fine Peonies, all colors, in unlimited 

 quantity. It's the retailer's time to make a fine profit while giving his customers big value for their money. 



CARNATIONS 



Try us on Carnations— we think we can show you that 

 it is to your advantage to order here, no matter what other 

 source of supply you have. Our Carnations are noted for 

 shipping quality. 



ROSES 



You will find here a large supply of fine Roses- Killar- 

 ney, Richmond and White Killarney that will ship. Our 

 summer supply is larger than ever before and the quality 

 sure to please. 



All other cut flowers in large supply, of best quality, and ofiered at lowest market prices.

price or consideration have yet been 

 noted. The crops, however, are re- 

 ported to be in excellent condition, and 

 within two or three weeks the cut will 

 be on in force. Other .first arrivals no- 

 ticed during the week included a few 

 scattering poppies, while coreopsis has 

 made its debut. Gladioli have been 

 coming in rapidly and the supply is 

 more than equal to the demand. Easter 

 lilies are in good supply and appear 

 to be holding up well in quality, while 

 valley is still being cut in large quan- 

 tities and is good stock. 



The bargain sales of cattleyas are a 

 thing of the past. The supply dropped 

 off so suddenly last week that a good 

 many people were taken by surprise, 

 with orders in hand that were difficult 

 to fill. 



Most of the wholesale houses have 

 posted notices that they will close at 5 

 p. m. beginning July i. At the same 

 time the retailers will begin early 

 closing.

Various Notes. 



Peterson Nursery cut the last of the 

 peonies for market June 22. The first 

 cut in quantity was .Tune o, making the 

 longest season on record; sometimes 

 the entire crop has been cut in three 

 or four days. The quality was extra 

 good this season and a record sum was 

 realized. None were stored. The A. L. 

 Jlandall Co. handled the crop, as for 

 several years. 



The M. Winandy <'o., Chicago, has 

 been licensed to incorporate. The
