ADVANTAGE TAKEN OF I.VDI VIDUAL 

 PLANTS. 



Advantage is now taken of the pe- 

 culiarities of each plant; a ribbon bow 

 of cord placed in the proper manner 

 and to the advantage of the plant, a 

 pot cover in perfect harmony, a bit 

 of moss or a little foliage, enhances 

 the value from ten to fifty per cent. 

 It is the neat and natty plant or flower 

 that attracts and sells quicker and at 

 a better figure than a more expensive 

 plant carelessly arranged, 



INTERURBAN RAILROADS A HELP. 



One of the most recent improve- 

 ments the retiviler has is the great net 

 work of interurban systems which are 

 being built throughout the country. 

 This is particularly true of my own 

 state, Indiana. The close proximity of 

 the greenhouses ana the store, due to 

 the elecuic lines, makes it possible for 

 the retailer to have fresh stock at all 

 times. There is no longer room for 

 old stock as this is many times due 

 to carelessness in ordering. It only 

 takes a telephone call and fresh stock 

 will be on hand in a few hours, where- 

 as in years gone by large amounts had 

 to be ordered at one time. 



IMPROVEMENTS IN DESIGNS. 



As we all know the day of the 

 stereotype flowe'- piece is a thing of 

 the past. The florist now confines his 

 funeral work almost entirely to bask- 

 ets, bunches, wreaths and blankets. 

 The view is now taken li? those who 

 are accustomed to buying llowers that 

 offerings are sent lo liglniu the suf- 

 ferings of the bereaved, m' to make it
