Variety and quality unexcelled. 



FLORAL DECORATIONS. 



Designs, Emblems, Baskets, Bouquets. All Flowers guaranteed fresh. 



Having the facilities we can snpply every demand. — It has always been our aim to supply such flowers as are popular with our 

 patrous, and also to introduce every new thing- worthj' of attention, and likely to meet the requirements of our trade. We were the 

 first in our city to build greenhouses especially and exclusirely for the cultivation of plants to supply cut flowers. Knowing- the require- 

 ments of our plants we constructed these greenhouses accordingly, so that the best results might be obtained, namely, the greatest 

 possible quantity of flouers of the very best quality. With the rapidly increasing growth of our customers we made almost annual 

 additions to our greenhouses, and otherwise increased and improved our facilities for producing and liandling large quantities of 

 flowers, so that to-day we are justified in saying we Iiave tlie most extensive ranse of greenliouses for the production of cnt flowers 

 and the best equipped store, exclusively devoted to tliis special trade, in the Nortliwest. But it must be evident that the product 

 of any one florist's establishment is more or less limited, and that it would be at least impracticable to grow such quantities of 

 flowers as miglit at certain times be in demand, flowers l)eing such perishable articles thej' cannot be kept fresh beyond a day or 

 two. However in addition to the lai'ge quantities of flowers we now daily cut from our own greenhouses, we receive daily ship- 

 ments from several of the large wholesale flower growers, men who make a specialty of growing flowers to supplj^ dealers such as 

 ourselves, and who are under contract with us to give us all, or such quantity of their products as we may require. The supply is 

 therefore simply limited by our own demands. The benefits of such an arrangement are very apparant ; we have not only a large 

 quantity f)f flowers at comi'uand, but we have a large selection, and can always have the choicest procurable. 



WE NEVER FAIL TO FILL AN ORDER if suflicient time is allowed us. Generally a very short time 

 suffices, although for our own and our customers' sake we desire all the time the circumstances will permit; we are thereby better 

 enabled to do full justice to the order. 



WE GUARANTEE FLOWERS TO ARRIVE SAFELY at any point within a reasonable distance from 



'Milwaukee. The system of packing we jiracticc, adoptcil after years of ex])erience and trials of many plans, enables us to send 



the most delicate flowers and elaljorate floral x>ieces many hundreds of miles, and have them reach their destination in perfect 



condition. For their safe transit and delivery we are also indebted to the Express Companies, who are very careful of all of our 



packages. 



FLOWER.Si MAY BE ORDERED by M.IIL, TELEKRAPH or TELEPHONE. In ordering by mail or telegraph 

 he particular to give full name and address, and state distinctly the article required, .and when you wish it shipped or the time 

 yon wish it to arrive. If floral pieces are required for some special purpose, and customers cannot determine what to choose as 

 most appropriate, if the selection is left to us we alwsiys carefully exercise our best judgment to send that which is suitable. 

 Persons unknown to us will please give satisfactorv citv references, or send cash with their orders; or, if so desired, we will 

 ship C. 0. D. 



OUR OUT OF TOWN TRADE. FACILITIES FOR RECEIVINti AM) FILLTXU ORDFRS. We receive mail

 points. The main offices of all Express Companies are in the next lilock from our store, so that an order for a quantity of loose 

 flowers can be Ijoxed and delivered in the Express office in ten minutes after its receipt, and almost any ordinary floral piece for
