THE HOUSE C 



jV/FlLLIONS of square feet of glass have been added within the pai 

 of cut flowers. Probably more than half of the new space will 

 augmented product to be disposed of? It cannot sell itself. STOP, LCM 

 grower if these roses could be made to yield even 50 cts. a hundred more t 

 pa^dng the interest on the entire investment, would it not ? 



THE ROSE 

 And the ORCHID 



What I have done towards the commer- 

 cial advancement of the Cattleva is 

 known to the florist trade of the 

 continent. I am still holding where I 

 was at the start, trying to maintain the 

 just prestige of this regal flower in the 

 floral world and to keep it from the 

 degradation of the "5 and 10 cent coun- 

 ter." If it gets there from whatever 

 cause you cannot blame it to McManus. 

 It is a fair proposition, is it not, that if 

 the grower turns out a first-class pro- 

 duct in cattleyas, roses or other special- 

 ties, and sends it to a first-class market, 

 it is entitled to a first-class effort to get 

 for it a first-class price ?
