KEEP THE DEALERS POSTED. 



Keep the dealer from whom you onler 

 flowers fully posted as to the sort of stock 

 for which you have the largest sale. 

 Write hiiu as fully as possible when vou 

 have time to devote to the matter. Keep 

 him fully advised as to the needs of your 

 trade. He will then know nuich 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 meagre. 

 Make this information as full as possible 

 by mail and your telegraphic orders will 

 be filled more to j'our satisfaction.
