Secure neat printed or lithcgraphcd 

 letter heads and envelopes. If your lo- 

 cal printer eau't do a neat job send 

 away 'and obtain them. Appearances in 

 an.y business have a great influence on 

 results. This is especially true of the 

 florist Inisiness, in which God's loveliest 

 productions are reared and sold, iveep 

 an impression book and letter press and 

 copy all your correspondence. Index it 

 daily and it will always be a handy ref- 

 erence book to all your correspondence. 

 File all the letters you receive in a sys- 

 tematic manner so that you can turn to 

 any desired letter instantly. Practice 

 neatness in your office and in all the de- 

 tails of your business. It costs no more 

 than slovenness and wins ycu many dol- 

 lars in trade in the course of a year. 



Many of the smaller ilorists will not 

 agree with me as to the imjiortauce of 

 these minor details of the business. They 

 are just as important as a thorough 

 knowledge of growing, or in fact more 

 so, and any one who supposes for a mo- 

 ment that a business can be successfully 

 conducted without strict attention to de- 

 tails, is lacking in tlie elements for com- 

 plete success, no matter what line of 

 iDusiness he may embark in.
