FLORAL SERVICE 
‘‘Sa}’ It with Flowers' 
SPRAY OF FLOWERS 
Expressing Respect and Esteem 
Human sentiments; Love, Esteem, Joy, Sympathy, wishes 
of good cheer, or good luck, are most eloquently expressed by 
a neatly arranged floral gift. A bouquet of flowers to a sick 
friend is like a ray of sunshine in spring. Remembering those 
that left us by a floral message, conveys our sentiments in the 
graceful way that only flowers can express them. 
FLOWERS do bring us cheer when days seem gloomy. Send 
them to friends, for life is then a richer, more appealing sen¬ 
sation in their presence. Try it today for tomorrow might be 
late.
