LILIES 



FOR EASTER 



THE BEST- -THE BEST 



NOW READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDER 



Randall's Easter crop of Lilies is famous — everybody who ever has tried them knows that there 

 never are any finer and seldom any as good. For years and years Randall's Lilies have been the standard 

 by which all other Lilies have been judged. Some years one grower and some years another will claim to 

 have Lilies "as good as Randall's," but Randall's Lilies always have been acknowledged as the leader. 

 These are true Giganteums — the best bulbs money would buy, forced by the best grower we know. Natu- 

 rally, we have the best flowers. Easter is unusually early this year, and it is all the more important to 

 place your order with the most dependable source of supply — there will be a great many over-forced Lilies 

 on the market, stock that won't stand shipping. Our Lilies will be just right. They will be packed at the 

 greenhouses in wooden boxes of 100 flowers each. Order as many as you need — Easter is only ten 

 days away.

 The attendance of wholesalers and re- 

 tailers numbered about sixty, and Mr. 

 Tholls held their close attention for 

 over an hour. He used a stereopticon 

 and gave his audience many new ideas 

 of how business and selling may be 

 made more certain in its results.

 this week on business. 



Otto Benthey is now in charge of 

 the George Reinberg ranges as fore- 

 man in place of J. E. Simpson, who has 

 had that position for the last two 



years. The latter intends to go into

 near future. Mr. Benthey is a brother 

 of F. F. Benthey, of Kyle & Foerster. 



Peter Reinberg was taken home 

 Saturday, March 8, after his fortnight 's 

 sojourn in the hospital. He is pro-

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,

 in a couple of days at a handsome 

 profit. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has taken pos- 



session of the fourth floor of the build- 

 ing at 72 and 74 East Randolph street

A burglar entered the store of Ken- 

 nicott Bros. Co. the morning of March 

 6, but found only $5.38 in the cash 

 drawer, the safe being impregnable. 



At Winterson's Seed Store it is re- 

 ported that a large number of orders, 

 especially for perennials, are on file 

 waiting the arrival of the planting sea- 

 son. 



N. J. Wietor says that although Vic- 

 tory now is in excellent shape, his 

 preference still is for Bonfire. He notes 

 the spreading popularity of the variety 

 in a wide demand for the cuttings.
