ARE YOU ONE OF THE GOOD-WILL 

 FLORISTS? 



Have you ever studied men to the 

 end that it becomes a real pleasure? 

 You know, of course, there are many 

 men in this world who get a great deal 

 of fun by being a good fellow to the 

 extent of taking Tom out and giving 

 him a good time, lined up against the 

 — -Well, that's ancient history now; 

 then there's the type that's good to 

 everybody but his own family; and 

 there's the fellow that looks out for 

 nobody but himself and says he should 

 worry. Also the fellow who lets you 

 do all the buying and forgets to put 

 his hand down occasionally; then 

 there's the fellow that penults you to 

 do nothing unless he does his share, 

 and who gets real enjoyment out of 

 life by being a regular feller. That's 

 the kind of a man we are talking 

 about today. 



The type who wants to do his share, 

 who feels that when there is a job to 

 do, he wants to do his part. Some 

 want to help in the work and can't find 

 time, and others wouldn't help if they 

 could. Then there is the fellow who 

 says "I can't help in the actual work, 

 but let me contribute my share." Now, 

 he's a regular feller, and we are com- 

 ing to the point. 



The Publicity Campaign is lagging 



for funds and the man that creates 

 good-will in any community is the man 

 who does his share whenever he 

 knows there is something going on. 

 To be in the good-will class, florally, 

 is to be a contributor to the publicity 

 fund and when you have joined the 

 "Say it With Flowers" Club, your 

 name is linked up to the good-will 

 florists who are doing their share to 

 boost the other fellow as well as your- 

 self. 



Can any movement (commercial) be 

 a more just one than our National Pub- 

 licity Campaign, where every man 

 gives as he pleases and everybody 

 shares in the general good. Even the 

 business itself rises to a point where 

 we all feel the cause worthy. 



The type of giver, when all is said 

 and done, is the kind that deserves 

 the good-will of his fellow florists. 

 They say it pays to advertise. Our 

 fund lacks $40,000 towards its goal. 

 Will you help supply the deficit?

 Chairman National Publicity Campaign 



COTINUS AMERICANUS. 

 The so-called Smoke-tree (Cotinus 

 coggygria) of eastern Europe is found 

 in many old-fashioned gardens in 

 which it is conspicuous in summer by 

 the great clusters of the much-length- 

 ened, hairy, colored stems of the small 



flowers. Much less well known is the 

 American species of this genus. The 

 American Smoke-tree grows naturally 

 only in the neighborhood of Hunts- 

 ville in northern Alabama, in southern 

 Missouri, and in eastern Oklahoma and 

 Texas. First raised in the Arboretum 

 in 1882 from seeds collected on the 

 high limestone ridge a few miles south 

 of Huntsville, Alabama, the American 

 Cotinus has proved perfectly hardy 

 here. It has grown, however, into a 

 broad tall shrub and not as a tree, al- 

 though on the Huntsville ridge trees 

 thirty feet tall were once abundant. 

 The "smoke" of the American species 

 as compared with that of the Old 

 World plant is inconspicuous, and its 

 value is found in the splendid orange 

 and scarlet coloring of the leaves at 

 the end of October when it is one of 

 the conspicuous plants of the Arnold 

 Arboretum. A large specimen can be 

 seen on the left hand side of the 

 Meadow Road next to the Sumachs, 

 and there is another by the road near 

 the top of Peter's Hill.
