THE USE AND ABUSE OF A GREAT 

 CONVENIENCE. 



Proljably nothing in the way of an 

 innovation has done more to help the 

 cut flower business at a season when 

 it i% most in need of a boost than the 

 adoption of the plan of mutual inter- 

 change of business, by telegraphic or- 

 der. "Flowers by Talegraph" was a 

 shilioleth which quickly found favor 

 with far sighted florists in various pop- 

 ular centres and instead of shipping 

 designs or cut flowers long distances 

 in cold Or hot weather with little as- 

 surance of their arrival in time or in 

 good order at their destination a tele- 

 gram to a brother florist at the point 

 of delivery did the work satisfactorily 

 to all concerned. 



The advertisements on this and ad- 

 joining pages are those of the live flor- 

 ists in the towns represented and any 

 florist in remote locality can transfer

orders to these firms with a certainty 

 that they will be promptly and ade- 

 quately filled. But there is reason in 

 all things and strange tales come to 

 us occasionally of the absurd demands 

 sometimes made by thoughtless flor- 

 ists in the transmission of orders. One 

 New York florist furnishes instances 

 as follows: 



"A prominent tlorist in one c>f our wes- 

 tern I'ities wrote asking me to deliver a 

 $:i.iH) 1)0X of (lowers, through our corres- 

 pondent in Denmark. I waited some time 

 before replying aud then asked whether 

 they had considered the amount of order 

 S^'.i.'iii, after the discounts — 20 per cent, for 

 the western or original tlorists. 20 per cent, 

 which I would require, 20 per cent, for 

 unr representative in Denmark — had beeu 

 deducted, making a total of $1.80 for dis- 

 counts or percentages, aud leaving a bal- 

 ance of .^1.20 for flowers for the poor 

 recipient. 



"Frequently we have requests to meet 

 Incoming steamships at their landing dock 

 ami iiresent the bouquet or box of Howei-s 

 to the passenger as they step ashore; .$1.50, 

 $2.00, perhaps $3.(XI, is the amount for 

 these orders and it takes more than an 

 ordinaiy messenger to make this delivery 

 as it requires some one with no little de- 

 tective ability.
