Communities having a number of 

 florists can club together as individ- 

 uals or as an organization, and com- 

 bine their purchases, which would re- 

 duce the cost to each, and at the same- 

 time result in an organized and syste- 

 matic plan of advertising. Wholesale 

 florists and sujiply houses may order in 

 large quantities for resale or distribu- 

 tion — get busy immediately — order at 

 once. 



Send remittance with order as this 

 will save considerable office work for 

 the committee, and make all remit- 

 tances payable to O. H. Amiing. Treas- 

 urer, Chicago Florists' Club. Stamps- 

 and posters are now ready for delivery.

 is simply charming. There should be 

 a ready welcome for it among the re- 

 tail trade.
