ROUGH USAGE OF FUNERAL 

 TRIBUTES. 



Editor HoRTicvLTUitE: 



May I trespass inside of your valu- 

 able paper to offer a protest as to the 

 handling of funeral flowers by under- 

 takers and I regret to say liy some flor- 

 ists, when they are taken from house 

 or church after the funeral services. 

 The usual practice Is to throw them 

 promiscously into a vehicle, helter- 

 skelter as quickly as possible and so 

 that they will occupy as small a space 

 as possible. The feeling seems to be 

 that the show is over, the florist has 

 done his work and the undertaker is 

 in a hurry to complete his. Does the 

 florist ever stop to consider the feel- 

 ings of the mourners who have sent 

 those flowers, some of whom frequently 

 see the way their offerings are treated, 

 or do they ever take a moment to con- 

 sider the effect it is likely to have 

 upon people who have sent or would 

 send floral tributes to the departed 

 when they see costly flowers treated 

 like so much rubbish, the moment tliey 

 have served their purpose? Is it good 

 business to show so little regard for 

 the flowers from which we florists get 

 our living? Do they think that a cus- 

 tomer who has given perhaps fifty dol- 

 lars for a design and sees it treated 

 with such carelessness will be likely to 

 repeat an experience of this kind, or 

 is he not more likely to say to himself, 

 — 1 will send a letter of sympathy or 

 just a few loose flowers, if that is the 

 way my tribute is treated. 



In these days when flowers are pro- 

 duced in great quantity and are placed 

 before the public in a large measure 

 by vendors who are neither fiorists by 

 profession or by instinct, it is more 

 than ever necessary for the florists 

 who have stores with all the attendant 

 heavy expenses, to be particularly 

 watchful to keep up the veneration 

 sentiment and love of flowers by the 

 wealthy classes upon whom they have 

 to rely for their support.
