Cut Flowers 
Our greenhouse plant of about 50,000 
square feet of glass, where we grow our cut- 
flowers and plants, is situated one mile west 
of the city on Washington street on the Peo- 
ria division of the Illinois Traction System, 
and practically the whole output of the plant 
is sold at retail at 6ur store. 
All floral emblems are made at, and all 
flowers shipped from the store, and as we 
have been very successful 'in shipping flow- 
ers we have worked up an excellent trade 
with out-of-town customers. 
Our shipping facilities are the very best, 
as Bloomington is quite a railroad center, 
having four railroads through the city and 
two of them having branches starting from 
here. The interurban also gives excellent 
shipping facilities to the south and west. 
We can Insure prompt service to our cus- 
tomers, first-class flowers and strictly fresh, 
as we grow them ourselves. 
We have bfeen conducting our store for 
the past twelve years and our rapidly in- 
creasing patronage is our best recommenda- 
tion that we are supplying the trade in an 
^acceptable manner.

mate prices. Write for definite price at
