that the strictly honorable and enter- 

 prising business man cannot fail but 

 make the most of. It becomes an ab- 

 solute menace^and often to a business 

 community at large — when placed at 

 the disposal of the unscrupulous trick- 

 ster. To illustrate my idea: I know 

 of a florist in the West, doing a thriv- 

 ing business, who seems to take espe- 

 cial delight in defrauding his creditors. 

 He buys everything in or out of sight, 

 in Holland, Belgium or New Jersey, 

 throwing his goods on the market at 

 prices compared with which those of 

 his legitimate competitors seem pro- 

 hibitory. Here is a case of credit mis- 

 applied, the result proving detrimental 

 not only to the man sustaining a di- 

 rect loss, but to the florist in the im- 

 mediate vicinity as well. 



I will cite another case. There is a 

 florist in one of the Middle States who 

 makes it a practice to order every new 

 seedling carnation in sight. Unlike 

 the careful, ultra conservative grower 

 who pays his bills and who, as a mat- 

 ter of course, wants to know some- 

 thing about the variety offered, the 

 man I speak of orders indiscriminately 

 on the principle of "something to gain 

 and nothing to lose," never paying for 

 the stock. The season following he 

 offers rooted cuttings at a reduced 

 price, underselling the very man he 

 victimized, thus doing him a double 

 injury. And yet, despite such in- 

 stances (I could cite many others), 

 despite the fact that tricksters, under 

 the assumed names of florists, are en- 

 croaching upon the legitimate trade 

 in a manner most injurious to our 

 common interests, in our anxiety to 

 outdo our competitors, to swell our 

 volume of business, we are inclined to 

 take chances, we fail to discriminate, 

 to draw the line most rigorously, as 

 it needs to be drawn, between those 

 worthy of our confidence and those 

 who should be blacklisted in letters 

 so large and conspicuous, that he who 

 runs may read.
