NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



The florists throughout the land 

 have, probably without exception, in 

 the past few days been— to use 

 mon expression, doing a "land office 

 business." The magazine advertising 

 of our Publicity Campaign was timely 

 for this season, and was calculated to 

 arouse interest in flowers and plants 

 as Christmas gifts. 



A page carrying a beautiful group of 

 flowers, painted from nature and re- 

 produced in actual colors, appeared in 

 World's Work. Munsey's, Review of 

 Reviews, Scribner's, Atlantic Monthly, 

 Century and Harper's. A well-ar- 

 ranged panel of text conveyed the 

 message: 



"For the Christmas and New Year 

 Greetings let the heart speak through 

 flowers. Radiantly lovely and alive 

 with the holiday spirit, they convey 

 every thought and sentiment with a 

 sweetness surpassing mere words. ' 



In the Metropolitan for December 

 was a whole page advertisement in 

 colors, and located facing a solid page 

 of editorial matter; the design, sug- 

 gested by a famous illustration, includ- 

 ing a beautiful girl of the Mary Pick- 

 ford order, whose countenance gave 

 unmistakable evidence of pleasure in 

 the possession of gifts of flowers and 

 plants. The text panel in this case 

 suggested: "Say It with Flowers. The 

 Gift of all Gifts. 'Merry Christmas- 

 has a new and richer meaning when 

 you say it with flowers. More gracious 

 than words, more personal than mate- 

 rial tokens, flowers convey your 

 Christmas greeting with a sincerity 

 that speaks to the heart. Courtesy, 

 custom, correctness, and a nice sense 

 of thoughtfulness are characteristic of 

 the holiday wish expressed with 

 flowers." 



In all the advertisements was the 



paragraph: 



"Your local florist, within a few 

 hours, can deliver fresh flowers in any 

 city or town in the United States and 

 Canada through the Florists' Tele- 

 graph Delivery Service." 



There is little room for doubt that 

 this publicity has caused a greater de- 

 mand for flowers and plants at this 

 festive season than ever before. Be- 

 fore the war we always counted upon 

 extra business at Christmas, but never 

 such a volume as this year. Many 

 days before this trade paper went to 

 press with its issue of today plants-
