interests of other industries. Kxpert 

 publicity men concede that its value 

 to ms is not less than a million dollars 

 as an investment. Our friends are 

 asked to keep on the lookout for any 

 misuse of it. And while we are on the 

 subject, let us suggest that florists 

 who are using it be sure to use it in 

 the script form adopted for all our 

 publicity. While printers as a rule 

 cannot duplicate the form from ordi- 

 nary type, our Promotion Bureau pro- 

 vides at small cost, electrotype lines 

 in a variety of sizes, and adaptable for 

 any purpose. They make a wonderful 

 difference in the appearance of the 

 slogan. 



Now won't you, Mr. Non-subscriber, 

 wake up to the importance of immed- 

 iately subscribing to the Campaign 

 Fund? You are receiving the benefit 

 of our publicity — we cannot prevent 

 that, even if we should wish to do so. 

 Our Campaign is conducted on broad 

 lines, as it ought to be — but who 

 should pay for the publicity if not 

 those who receive benefit from it? He 

 must have a heart of flint who will 

 not contribute his mite to the Fund. 

 Our Committee works hard to make 

 every dollar count in the publicity — 

 and the detail work in connection with 

 it is costing very much less such work 

 has cost most other Campaigns. There 

 is no wastage, not a penny goes astray, 

 nor is likely to under the sharp eyes 

 of the gentlemen who are directing 

 the Campaign, and are prominent con- 

 tributors to the Fund themselves.

REVIVING WILTED BLOSSOMS. 



Many lovers of wild flowers have 

 doubtless been annoyed by the appar- 

 ent impossibility of getting certain 

 beautiful species home in good condi- 

 tion. Among the flowers of the east- 

 ern states which wilt almost while 

 one is plucking them, the dainty little 

 Spring Beauty and the gorgeous bat 

 bashful Cardinal flower come to mind. 



If one but knows how, one may free- 

 ly gather these and others like them, 

 and take them home in the thoroughly 

 disreputable condition which they at 

 once effect, with calm certainty of be 

 ing able to restore them to their 

 natural beauty. It is merely necessary 

 to conquer the inevitable instinct to 

 place them in cold water, and instead 

 use the fluid piping hot, with more or 

 less alcohol added, according to condi- 

 tion of the flowers and experience with 

 the various species. 



This method of restoration applies 

 equally well to cultivated blossoms as 

 to wild flowers. — Scientific American.
