WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 

| .. ON .. 

i Cut-Flowers and Greens 



The outlook for large crops for Easter is not very 
encouraging, as continued dark weather is still upon 
us and from all appearances is going to continue for 
some time to come, this wilj make it doubly important 
for florists to get their orders in as early as possible for 
Easter Flowers, for in view of a shortage it insures the 
earliest orders of being given the preference, and even 
if there happens to be no shortage, there is no harm 
done, and nothing lost in early ordering. In the 
event of there being much bright weather between now 
and Easter bringing on crops heavier than anticipated, 
we always make it a point that if prices diminish in 
such case, to give our customers the advantage of such 
reductions. There is therefore nothing to loose and 
everything to gain in early ordering. 

Prices average about the same as last year, except- 
ing Easter Lilies which are somewhat lower, and 
believe that there will be enough for all demands. 

We have a good supply of all bulb stock coming 
on and in fact will have a large supply of all season- 
able stock. 

By referring to our list you will find that we 
perhaps offer more of a variety than any other house 
in Chicago, it being our aim to supply all novelties 
possible. 

Would call your special attention to our special 
list of Ribbons and other suitable Easter Supplies, 
which we are offering at greatly reduced prices. We 
are prepared to fill orders on short notice in all supplies 
as well as cut flowers, and many florists find it 
advantageous to order from a house that is thus 
equipped, at times finding it very convenient in getting 
supplies sent right along with cut-flowers, unless of a 
heavy nature. 

Awaiting your valued orders. 

Yours respectfully, 

McKellar & Winterson.

months. It is a robust grower, and thrives 
even in comparatively a cool, dark place. 
Stems 10 to 12 inches high, buds grow in 
clusters of about 20 and open four or five at a 
time, which makes it a good thing for cutting, 
as it lasts a full week, opening fresh flowers 
every day. The blossoms are not quite one- 
"half inch in diameter, of a pleasing rosy lilac 
with yellow eye. Trade packet 25c.
