NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 

 It is pleasing to note from the list 

 Of new subscribers this week that our 

 Canadian friends in the trade are ap- 

 preciating the work of our Publicity 

 Campaign. The legion of florists in 

 our own United States who have not 

 yet subscribed to the Fund should, to 

 use a slang expression, sit up and take 

 notice — then sit down and write their 

 cheques for the contributions which, 

 surely, they intend to make. There is 

 no room for doubt as to the beneficial 

 effect of our Campaign. A year or 

 more ago some might have been of the 

 opinion that a shortage in production 

 of flowere, through lack of fuel and 

 war conditions, was the cause for a 

 genera] clean-up of market stock at 

 inflated prices. Such conditions have 

 long since passed, but to-day we find 

 the markets cleaning up as never be- 

 fore, in spite of increased values. 

 Why? Simply this, the public are 

 buying more flowers. Flowers are go- 

 ing regularly into homes where before 

 their use was only occasional. Anni- 

 versaries are being more generally 

 remembered with the "Say it With 

 Flowers" spirit. The sick are being 

 cheered with bright flowers contin- 

 ually, and the sending of flowers to 

 hospitals is now practiced on a much 

 larger scale. 



Our committee is now urgently in 

 need of further funds. In the inter- 

 ests of our industry more money 

 should be forthcoming, and we now 

 appeal to all those neglectful members 

 of our craft to come forward with 

 their support, and help us to nail 

 down the success we have met and to 

 carry it along indefinitely. We are a 

 long, long way from our "goal of 

 $100,000, but with the co-operation 

 that we have a right to expect its ac- 

 complishment should be easy. 



Think the matter over — and act. 

 Opportunities never linger, let us 

 grasp the one we have sought and 

 can, with the proper support, retain. 



"Say it With Flowers" 

 In the Theatres. 

 The Von Tilzer song. "Say it With 

 Flowers," has proved to be a "hit" at 

 the theatres where it has been pre- 

 sented. In New York last week, at 

 the Palace, crowded houses greeted it, 

 and it became quite a feature as ren-
