KELSEY'S BEAUTIFUL GREEN AND 
BRONZE SOUTHERN GALAX LEAVES 
Green and Bronze Galax Leaves. 
THE INTRODUCTION OF CALAX LEAVES. (lalax Leaves were first introduced lo tlii' 
florists' trade in uSgo by Harlan I'. Kelscy, Iliglilunds Nursery, Kawana. iVortli Cainlina, and 
Boston, Mass. A large amount was spent in advi-rtising. but at first the trade took to them slowly. 
Enough lu say that 
last season nearly 
thirty million were 
used in the United 
States and abroad. 
CALAX vs. IVY. 
.Some florists can't 
give up Ivy leaves and 
use the cheaper and 
more elTective Galax 
for the same reason 
that some people wear 
wooden shoes — they 
can't shake off old cus- 
toms for new and bet- 
ter. Galax Leaves are 
highly colored, easier 
to make up, and 
cover three to five 
times more design 
than Ivy, owing to 
their shape and varia- 
tion in size. 
WHY CALAX IS SO POPULAR. Their brilliancy of coloring (bright green and rich 
bronze), unique shape, long, wiry, pliant Stems and cheapness have combiiud to make thoni the 
most popular evergreen decorative now used by florists the year round. 
KEEPING QUALITIES. The lasting qualities of Gala.x are remarkable, the leaves keeping 
indefinitely in cold storage, or all winter and into late spring, merely stored in a cool cellar, 
and used out of the original cases we ship in. 
PACKED IN ORIGINAL CASES. Our method o! packing, which is unique and exclusive, 
saves our customers all rehandling. ( See Schedule of Cases page 3. ) The boxes are neat and light. 
EACH SIZE AND COLOR 
SEPARATE. We tie in bunches of 
tweiUy five leaves (full count), each 
color and size separate — green and 
bronze, large and small, thus saving 
the florist all labor of sorting. Cases 
usually coiUain from 5.000 to 10,000 
Galax each. Galax weighs, p.acked, 
from four to eight pounds per thou- 
sand, according to size of leaves 
and number in case. 
USES FOR KELSEY'S GALAX 
LEAVES. Tlie uses to wliich (lalax 
can be put are too many to enu- 
merate. They can always take the 
place of ivy leaves. The handsomest, 
cheapest and most efTective crosses, 
anchors, wreaths, and other set 
pieces are now made of Galax Leaves 
with Leucothoi; Sprays often forming 
a base. 1 
FOR THE CEMETERY. In win- 
ter these pieces last indeliuitely in the 
cemetery, the snow and frost improv- ^ 
ing rather than injuring them. Galax Bunched with Violets.
