Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



•UNDESIRABLES" IN THE RETAIL 

 FLORIST BUSINESS. 



Ill IIk' last few yuiirtt wo liiivo lii'urd 

 ;i Krt'iil tlfiil atioiit uiiilfslrnbli'B, espec- 

 ially upplifd to eiiilKraiits and foreign- 

 ii'.s and very often or too iiiucli bo Ih 

 (lil» expression applied to people who 

 do not deserve such treatment. Some 

 iif our most undesirables have built 

 iiiir railroads In this country and have 

 done a great deal to liel|) develop this 

 great country. 



I now llnd (hat this same expression 

 is a|>|)lied to a good many flower re- 

 tailers who ab.solutely do not deserve 

 il. Just because they are not the old- 

 est or largest retail llorists concern 

 does not mean that they (111 orders 

 in poor shape or forget to pay their 

 bills promptly. I can make a correct 

 statement and say to you that these 

 younger concerns in a great many 

 cases are more businesslike and can 

 see an opening for a new Held quick- 

 er than other.s. as the other florists 

 think they have enough business and 

 what is the use of looking for more, 

 and send trade away from their 

 stores, but these same concerns are 

 willing to receive all the orders from 

 out-of-to%vn correspondents they can 

 get 



They sometimes wonder how the 

 new concerns can get these orders but 

 they also forget that this or that new 

 concern has let the public know that 

 orders for out-of-town can be delivered, 

 hence, was enabled to send orders 

 all around the country and naturally 

 retailers to whom he has sent orders 

 have reciprocated, for which you can 

 neither scold nor blame them. 



Ueni ember that even you who own 

 the largest and best equipped retail 

 flower shops may have been, at the 

 start, the same kind of undesirables 

 and yet if somebody had called you 

 that, you hardly would have taken it 

 good-naturedly. Of course, I realize 

 that there are exceptions in all cases 

 but i)lease do not use the word "unde- 

 .sirable" unless you can make good and 

 prove something which may justify 

 you in your criticism. 



Will some one kindly write an ar- 

 gument to these few lines as I am will- 

 ing and only too glad to hear what my 

 brother florists have to say.
