 A SQUARE DEAL 



I am satisfied that the rose situation can 

 be improved upon. The oft-quoted 

 proverb, applied to the rose business as 

 it stands at present, might well read, 

 "take care of the hundreds; the thous- 

 ands will take care of themselves." 

 What I believe the rose grower needs 

 more than anything else today is selling 

 agents who will work for the rose as a 

 specialt3% strive for the elimination of 

 the "bargain lot" system from which 

 the rose has been the most conspicuous 

 sufferer, aud see to it that every bud 

 that is of worthy qualit}' gets its square 

 deal. Mr. Grower, am I not right? 



» it is now time to make plans for the marketing of your product for the coming season, 

 .nything else that counts for something in the flower market I should like to talk it over 

 le past. We believe that we enjoy the implicit confidence of those growers we have repre- 

 s Convention and a Busy and Profitable Season.
