HORTICULTURE 



547 



men generally were entirely sold out 

 of salable stock — evidence that the 

 public intended to "Say it with 

 Flowers." 



Our Publicity Committee is In 

 urgent need of more funds to carry 

 along the campaign during the spring 

 months. St. Valentine's Day and 

 Mother's Day are to be featured very 

 strongly in the magazine advertising, 

 and contracts for space in the period- 

 icals of large circulation must be 

 Quickly completed. It is hoped that 

 the large body of florists who have not 

 yet subscribed to the fund will see 

 the desirability of helping themselves 

 by helping the Campaign. The re- 

 sponse made by the public to our slo- 

 gan, "Say It with Flowers," is surpris- 

 ingly large'. Help us to make it larger, 

 help us to perpetuate it. We can, 

 with the help we believe to be owing 

 to us, make the slogan more popular 

 than any yet established — it means 

 more and has greater applicability 

 than any phrase ever adapted to trade 

 purposes.

JOKING THE FLORISTS 

 In a principal street of a country 

 town there were two florists' shops 

 and the rivalry between them was 

 keen. They dealt in potted plants and 

 cut flowers and abuse of each other. 



Business was rather slack and 

 White, whose shop was No. 21, thought 

 to wake things up by offering a pact;et 

 of seed, "guaranteed to grow" some- 

 thing, with each pot plant he sold. 



He was quite pleased with the result 

 until one morning he saw a new pla- 

 card, large and bold, outside the shop 

 of Black, his rival at No. 27. This 

 read:
