system In vogue among florists gener- 

 ally. 



Now, isn't work of this kind worthy 

 of your support Mr. Non-subscriber? 

 Can't you see that the more we accom- 

 plish the more you benefit? You may 

 say to yourself "Well, conditions are 

 better, and the business would have 

 come anyway." Then on sober reflec- 

 tion you must come to the conclusion 

 that you are merely "kidding" your- 

 self. Our publicity is working for you, 

 and to our advantage. Then why 

 should you not contribute to the cost? 

 You are not asked to give more than 

 it Is known you can afford. If every 

 florist in the country were to contrib- 

 ute but five dollars, we could place 

 our business where it ought to be. 

 That slogan of ours, "Say it With 

 Flowers" is invaluable. What if we 

 were ohliced to stop its promulgation? 

 We shonld have something to mourn 

 over. Your support is most urgently 

 needed now — at this very time. Help 

 us to keep the work going — work from 

 which you are receiving such benefit, 

 but pay for which you are grossly 

 neglecting. What will you do — we are 

 waiting for your reply?

BOSTON. 



J. H. Playdon of Andover has been 

 visiting in the city. He reports doing 

 an extensive business in landscape 

 work, as well as being very busy with 

 florist's work. 



The next annual convention of the 

 New England Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion will be held in Boston Jan. 27 

 and 28. An interesting and valuable 

 program is being prepared. 



The Horticultural Cub of Boston 

 held its monthly meeting Wednesday 

 evening at the Parker House. The 

 tables were decorated by Thomas 

 Roland of Nahant with cyclamens, and 

 the speaker of the evening was Ernest 

 H. Wilson, who gave an illustrated 

 lect"re on "Out-of-the-Way Places of 

 the World." 



A special exhibit of winter flowering 

 beeonias was held Tuesday and Wed- 

 nesday at the Edwin S. Webster green- 

 houses at Chestnut Hill. Mr. Webster 

 has a remarkable collection of these 

 plants, including some fine new varie- 

 ties. The opportunity to inspect the 

 plants was taken advantage of by 

 flower lovers.
