FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS. 
Our products in the line of every conceivable design and arrangement in which 
fresh flowers and greens can be used, have obtained a most favorable reputation. 
The great charm of floral designs and arrangements, whether used for the home table, 
gifts, weddings, receptions, commencements, funerals, or other purposes, consists in 
the choiceness of all flowers employed, the fitness and beauty of the design, and 
the free, artistic skill with which they are put together. In every one of these par- 
ticulars we claim ability for meeting the most exacting demands. 
We pride ourselves on our ability to suggest and arrange designs suited for any 
occasion, and are very glad to serve those who are tired of old ways and styles and 
who crave something fresh as well as artistic in this line. 
We always receive the latest designs and ideas for making up flowers, as they 
come out in New York and the east. 
LOOSE CUT-FLOWERS. 
In this shape many flowers are daily 
handled and shipped. Their prices are esti- 
mated by count mostly, and vary some- 
what with the season. In summer, flowers 
do not average as choice in quality and as 
durable as in winter. During the midwinter 
holiday season (December 15 to January 10) 
they are the most expensive, and are apt 
to cost nearly double the common prices at 
other times. 
Arranged in boxes with their long stems 
and fine foliage, these treasures of nature 
cause pleasant smiles, and as a present to a 
friend or acquaintance are always acceptable. 
If undecided about selecting, give us an idea 
of the use to which the flowers are to be put 
and their cost, and leave selection to us. In 
such cases we are sure to please you. A fair- 
sized box of flowers varies from $2.50 to $5 
in cost, while we go as low as $1 and $1.50 
for small, and as high as you wish for very 
large boxes. We append a list with prices 
of the staple kinds, and which are in daily 
supply in our store in their respective sea- 
sons of bloom and beauty.
