ESTABLISHED 1875. 



AN EXTENSIVE BRANCH OF OUR BUSINESS UNDER THE PERSONAL 

 SUPERVISION OF A MEMBER OF THE FIRM. 



Our Facilities are Unequalled for producing and handling large quantities of flowers, and for the prompt 

 dispatch of this special line of business. 



Twenty Years' Experience and a constant and systematic study of this trade and its requirements, enable us to 

 give our customers valuable and faithful service. 



Special Greenhouses. — We have an extensive range of greenhouses carefully planned and built for the exclusive 

 purpose of growing plants for the production of flowers, which we cut in large quantities. 



Our Supply of Flowers is practically unlimited and quality unexcelled. — In addition to the large quantities 

 we produce ourselves, we several times daily receive supplies, limited only by our demands, from several wholesale 

 growers with whom we have contracts for all their best flowers. 



We can Supply Every Demand. — With the facilities already named, and our improved system of handling 

 flowers, we keep on hand constantly large quantities of all kinds of the choicest flowers in their season. 



We Never Fail to Fill an Order, if sufficient time is allowed us. C4enerally a 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. 



__ Our Flower Store, its Accommodations and Location. — This commodious store is exclusively devoted to the 

 flower business, and is as fully equipped as our experience could suggest to meet all the requirements of the trade. 

 It is very conveniently located, being in the same block as the central post office, from which mail is delivered to us five times 

 daily. Telegraph offices only one block away. Long distance telephone in our office. All express offices are in the next block, 

 affording us every facility for receiving and filling orders from a distance promptly. 



Out=of=Town Trade. — For many years we have done a large business in flowers with customers at a distance, 

 crpplying them with all kinds of even the most delicate flowers, and elaborate emblems at all seasons of the year. In 

 this line we have been very successful, never failing to give satisfaction. 



Our System of Packing is Perfect. — The plan of packing flowers, which we long since adopted, after several 

 years of experimenting with various methods, enables us to send safely the most delicate flowers many hundreds of 

 miles, having them reach their destination as fresh, beautiful and fragrant as when newly cut. 



We Guarantee Flowers to Arrive Safely within a reasonable distance from Milwaukee. 



Special Arrangements with Express Companies. — With all express companies we have special arrangements for 

 the safe and direct transit, and rapid delivery of flowers. 



How to Order Flowers. — Orders may be sent to us by mail, telegraph and telephone. In ordering, be particular to 

 "ive full name and address plainly written to avoid mistakes' or delays. State explicitly the article required, the time it 

 to* be shipped, or when it is to arrive, and the route desired, if there is a choice. 



Floral Pieces for Particular Occasions. — If a floral piece is required for some special occasion and customers find 

 .t difficult to decide what is most appropriate, we will gladly exercise our best judgment in making a selection, if the 

 choice is left to us. 



Original Floral Pieces. — We make a special study of getting up original designs for special occasions, our extensive 

 experience in this line affording us many advantages. 



Floral Decorations. — We cheerfully furnish estimates on extensive decorations on application. 



PRICES — These vary somewhat with the seasons, but we always aim to have them very reasonable, placing even 

 the choicest flowers within the reach of every one. 



Persons unknown to us will please give us satisfactory city references when they cannot send cash with their orders, 

 or, if so desired, we will ship C. O. D.
