more than aught else to conditions 

 against their employment, comes 

 through the encouragement given big 

 showy effects, regardless of general 

 quality. 



Illy filled and finished, and strenu- 

 ous-sized and shaped forms, and such 

 free using of dried and dyed materials, 

 not to mention wax flowers, but all 

 passed out as representative products 

 of the craft, never can standardize 

 sensible demand, and such practices 

 reflect on business acumen. 



The using of flowers at funerals 

 being in no way a necessity, and most 

 optional, it follows that as free an 

 option against their employ as well, 

 may exist. This leaves the florist, 

 practically an outsider or an onlooker, 

 merely, and many years of noting 

 akin conditions leads the writer to be- 

 lieve that counteracting the condi- 

 tions in question will be accomplished 

 the more, by so to speak "saying 

 nothing," not even allowing being 

 drawn into worded discussion of the 

 subject. If nailed to it, aim to treat it 

 as a passing matter of intermittent 

 type as related to the business, and 

 sustain the idea that using of flowers 

 is an inborn natural trait or sentiment 

 and its quality so harmless that the 

 custom must continue to prevail to a 

 proper degree, never to die out. 



Agitating the matter will betoken 

 weakness, a childish look, so don't! 

 Keep easy! If you see need to act at 

 all, let it be in trend of trying to raise 

 the standard of proper and fitted qual- 

 ity as commonly dealt out to custom- 

 ers. If you organize anything, better 

 such be a campaign for educating
