"SAY IT WITH FLOWERS." 



The American Red Cross has estab- 

 lished what is known as a convales- 

 cent house at each of forty-four Army 

 and Navy camps and cantonments. It 

 is to these that our wounded Sammies 

 go from the big hospitals where they 

 have been undergoing treatment. 

 Many of these boys are those that 

 have come back to us from abroad, 

 some minus a hand, an arm, a foot, a 

 leg — maybe horribly gassed or burnt. 

 The Red Cross is doing a bit more 

 than just a bit to alleviate the suffer- 

 ing of these men. Is your sympathy 

 with these chaps? Then "Say it With 

 Flowers." The convalescent house at 

 the army camp or the navy camp 

 right near your own establishment 

 wants flowers and you, Mr. Retailer, 

 Mr. Wholesaler, Mr. Grower, Mr. Gar- 

 dener are best in position to fill a 

 few vases to cheer up these boys, and 

 you owe it to yourself to do so. Its 

 mighty nice to remark in words that 

 you're sorry for these poor unfortu- 

 nates, but the better way is to "Say 

 it With Flowers."

As we are about to go to press word 

 has been received from the secretary's 

 office of the Society of American Flor- 

 ists that President Totty has received 

 a telegram to the effect that the modi- 

 fication of the fuel order allowing a 

 forty per cent minimum has been ac- 

 cepted by the government. 



A WARNING. 



Fditor, Horticultcre: 

 Dear Sir: 



Reports are being received of activ- 

 ity by stock salesmen and promoters, 

 principally representing companies 

 whose securities have doubtful value, 

 in efforts to secure the exchange of 

 Liberty Bonds for the stocks which 

 they have tor sale. This practice is 

 specifically disapproved by the Treas- 

 ury Department, and we are compelled 

 to characterize any continuance of it 

 as an act unfriendly to the govern- 

 ment. 



If your readers have such cases 

 come to their notice, I will be glad to 

 have them write me promptly giving 

 the name of the company issuing the 

 stock, the name of the stock which is 

 being offered, its address, the name of 

 the salesman and the names of the 

 officers of the company if they can be 

 secured. 



Very truly yours, 

 Charle.s a. Morss, Chairman, 

 Liberty Loan Com. of N. E.

The latest peculiar ruling is that 

 the growing of flower seeds for com- 

 mercial purposes is a non-essential. 

 Compare it with some of the pecu- 

 liar "essentials" officially rated as 

 such! — Boston Traveler.
