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.

The Market. 



While the month of June gave us a 

 dandy business, things took a decided 

 slump July 1 and the prices went down 

 in short order. With most of the 

 flower-buying public at their summer 

 homes and outdoor stock coming into 

 bloom, the demand for greenhouse stock 

 is somewhat weak. The daily consign- 

 ments, especially in carnations, are sim- 

 ply enormous and the poorer grades 

 might just as well be dumped at home. 



All in all, the quality of stock for 

 this time of the year is really good, 

 but with the present heat it will soon 

 be on the wane. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Kellner and fam- 

 ily moved to their summer home on 

 Okauchee lake July .'{. 



Wm. p]dlefsen, who recently leased 

 his greenhouses at North Milwaukee 

 for a period of ten years, left July 5 

 for Lorane, Ore., to join his wife and 

 establish their future home on a fruit 

 farm there. 



Art Leidiger, of the Edlefsen-Leidi- 

 ger Co., who had been resting at Big 

 ('edar lake since July 3, returned July 





During the summer time every 

 Florist should be using our stun- 

 ning little Wedding booklet, 

 " Flowers for the Bride." 



This booklet will get the Wedding 

 business of next fall for you, if 

 you start using it now. At any 

 rate, write us today regarding it.
