That's the only way to describe the Silk City
revolution in plant decor.
There was a time when synthetic plants looked
synthetic. Unnatural. Unrealistic. Not any more.
In recent years, the decor and design industry has
been revolutionized by sophisticated plant reproduc-
tions. Professionals have come to trust in the quality
and economy of maintenance-free, botanically correct plant
r reproductions. And now, for the first time, you can get the same
quality and economy that the industry has relied upon.
Silk City plants are Elliott's hand-crafted originals. Beautiful, lush,
and green—unbelievably lifelike, unbelievably easy to own and,
best of all, they're not real. No more watering, no feeding,
no more problems. Silk City plants are plants for today's
lifestyles.
At Silk City, you'll find a vast selection of plants.
Everything from the magnificent eight foot Ficus
to the colorful simplicity of a potted mum, if
you're looking for plants, there's something for
you at Silk City.
k And that's not all. You'll also find a designer
+ selection of beautiful vases, urns, pots,
hanging baskets, everything you need to
decorate with plants, whether your tastes are contemporary or
traditional.
Stop in to our new location during the Grand Opening Month of
October. Bring in the coupon below for unreal savings on your
first hand-crafted,
maintenance-free
