KEEP THE DEALERS POSTED, 



Keep the dealer from whom you or- 

 der flowers fully poste'' as to the sort 

 of stock for which you have the lar- 

 gest sale. Write him as fully as pos- 

 sible when you have time to devote 

 to the matter. Keep him fully ad- 

 vised as to the needs of your trade. 

 He will then know much better how to 

 fill your telegraphic orders. He will 

 know whether to send you the best in 

 the market at the top price or to send 

 you a fair grade at a more moderate 

 price. The dealer is anxious to please 

 you but often his information is mea- 

 gre. Make this information as full as 

 possible by mail and your telegraphic 

 orders will be filled more to your sat- 

 isfaction.
