It has been a long time since October, 1880 when

This 1 owe to all of you, my loyal customers.
i can't tell you what an honour it has been to share in
your celebrations and weddings (51 brides carried
Hildebrand's bouquets down the aisle last year/ end to help
convey your messages of sympatbty through floral tributes.
But, atter much thought and discussion, it has come time
fur a change, which brings us to the reason for. this latter:
Hildebrand Flowers will be undergoing so)ne-radical changes
• in the coming year.
The first phase will include discontinuing Q)41!fl'esh flower
