we shall have a fine lot of Roses to offer, including' the much called for 

 Richmonds, Beauties, Pink Killarney, White Killarney, Bulgarie, Maryland, 

 besides Mrs. Jardine and Aaron Ward. 



Our carnations are the best on this market, including such varieties as 

 Victory, Enchantress, Aristocrat, Afterglow, Winsor and White Perfection. 

 We anticipate a shortage in the Carnation line and as such we will endeavor 

 to fill carnation orders to the best of our ability. 



A large supply of our famous Blue Ribbon Valley, the leader of all 

 Chicago brands; also Sweet Peas, Single and Double Violets, Harrisii, Nar- 

 cissus, Stevia, Asparagus, Greens, and all other seasonable stock. 



We desire that you place your orders early. Don't wait until the last 

 minute only to learn that stock is well ordered up. 



Owing to lack of time during holidays, orders from new customers should 

 contain suitable references, for should your name not be rated in the agencies, 

 shipments will be sent C. O. D. 



Store open from 7.30 a. m. until 6 p. m., closing Sundays and holidays 

 at noon.

George W. Scott can not keep out 

 of the flower business at Christmas. He

Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that, with 

 its plant and florists' supply depart- 

 ments, this month's business will far 

 exceed any other in its history.

 visitors also inspected the neighboring 

 establishment of the Thompson Carna- 

 tion Co., which is in excellent shape. 



John F. Kidwell, president of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 says the cuts of Killarney at the Well- 

 worth Farm plant are as fine as he has 

 ever grown. One house of Beacon car- 

 nations is in crop and Mr. Kidwell says 

 he would not object had he retained 

 his carnation houses in place of grow- 

 ing roses, in view of the present favor- 

 able prices on cariuitions.
