SOME STORIES. 



During a discussion upon bedding 

 plants at a recent meeting of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' CluTj a reference to the 

 treatment plants often receive after they 

 have been delivered to the buyer brought 

 out some good stories. 



Mr. Buettncr told of an azalea that 

 was delivered in fine condition at the 

 kitchen door of a residence and the next 

 dav he- \Mi- -lilt la li explain whv the 

 pljiii li.i.l 11- I. in.- .., Ilnwers left! On 

 )ii\, -iiuiiii-ii lir iniiinl tliat the cook, 

 feui iiiy lliu jjluiit ha. I been chilled during 

 delivery, had set it on the stove awhile 

 to take the chill out. 



He told of another lady whose azalea 

 was not doing well and who gave assur- 

 ance that instructions had been care- 

 fully followed. She had not failed to 

 "water it every day." He called and 

 found thr ].laiil in a cupper jardiniere 

 and the wain inarlv M the top. She 

 could nut lijM' watric'il it but once or 

 twice -mnie with safety to her carpets. 



He had filled a vase of plants and the 

 next day on going by discovered the 

 coachman playing a heavy stream of 

 water on the plants with all the force he 

 could give it. He was so angry he went- 

 in and punched the coachman's nose, 

 which seems a very effective way of con- 

 veying a hint. 



This reminded Edwin Kanst of a story 

 of a man-of-all-work who was discovered 

 playing the hose upon plants in the man- 

 ner described by Mr. Buettner. When 

 called down he responded: "You can't 

 tell me anything about handling a hose. 

 I was in the fire department for three 

 years." 



Keferring to the azalea incidents, Mr. 

 McAdams said they sent with each plant 

 a printed slip giving explicit instruct 

 tions as to what to do and what not to 

 do.
