up with the Mayor previously, and the 

 reasons shown him why the white 

 flower should not have preference 

 over the colored one, it might have 

 made a decided change in the attitude 

 of customers. In the local papers the 

 white carnations was repeatedly re- 

 ferred to as the flower of the day. Not 

 a word was noticed as advocating flow- 

 ers in general, yet here was a splendid 

 opportunity for publicity by the flor- 

 ists. Mothers' Day has been thrust 

 upon the trade and a few well written 

 articles for the daily papers would 

 help direct the business into broader 

 channels. Notwithstanding the de- 

 mand for flowers was so great that the 

 retail florist could not provide enough 

 for his customers, the flower sale on 

 the streets in the loop district netted 

 the Mothers' Emergency League, May 

 8, $1,100, which goes to show what can 

 be done to work up sentiment and so 

 use up more flowers.
