fO render successful this branch of our business, in which we have always been especially 

 interested and very much attached to, we have always carefully and unremittingly 

 studied all its many requirements, devoting much time, thought, and energy to its manage- 

 ment in all its details. Our first consideration has been the demands of our patrons. We 

 have cultivated and kept in stock constantly all the popular flowers, and 

 we have always experimented with and introduced everything new which proved 

 itself of any value. Our constant aim, too, has been to produce flowers of the very 

 best quality, and in such quantities as to meet every demand. Beyond that, we have 

 studied every means by which we could facilitate the prompt dispatch of business, the receiv- 

 ing and filling of orders and the shipping and delivery of the flowers. 



SOME OF OUR ADVANTAGES AND FACILITIES-Briefly enumer 

 ated these are: Special greenhouses for the production of flowers; contracts 

 with wholesale growers for daily supplies ; a commodious store appropriately fitted up 

 and exclusively devoted to this business; a corps of assistants who are specialists 

 in this line ; CENTRAL POST OFFICE in the same block; main TELEGRAPH 

 and all EXPRESS OFFICES in the next block ; A LONG DISTANCE TELE- 

 PHONE IN OUR OFFICE, bringing us into close communication with all points 

 reached by telephone; SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH ALL EXPRESS 

 COMPANIES FOR THE SAFE TRANSIT AND RAPID DELIVERY 

 OF FLOWERS; a system of packing adopted after years of experience with, and trials 

 of many plans, which enables us to GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF 

 THE MOST DELICATE FLOWERS AND ELABORATE FLORAL 

 PIECES at any point within a distance of several hundred miles. 



HOW TO ORDER FLOWERS— We never fail to fill an order if suffi- 

 cient time is allowed us, and a very short time often suffices. Orders are sent to us by mail, 

 telegraph and telephone. In ordering, be particular to give full name and 

 address, and state explicitly the article required, the time it is to be shipped, or when it is 

 to arrive, and the route, if there is a choice. If a floral piece is required for some special 

 occasion and customers find it difficult to decide what is most appropriate, we will gladly 

 exercise our best judgment in making a selection if the choice is submitted to us. 



We make a specialty of getting up original floral pieces for particular occa- 

 sions, our extensive experience in this line affording us many advantages. 



Estimates on extensive decorations cheerfully furnished on application. 



PRICES.— These vary somewhat with the seasons, but we always aim to have them 

 very reasonable. 



Persons unknown to us will please give us satisfactory city references when they can- 

 not send cash with their orders, or, if so desired, we will ship C. O. D.
