Begonia "Glory of Cincinnati" 



cular describing our direct service 

 aids up-to-date. 



In a letter just received from Wil- 

 liam L. Rock, of the William L,. Rock 

 Flower Co., Kansas City, Mo., that 

 gentleman says: "We shall be only 

 too glad to subscribe $200.00 per 

 annum for the next four years. We 

 feel that the campaign, so far as it 

 has gone, has done a great deal to- 

 ward building up the florists' business. 

 Of course, we have no way of checking 

 or telling the amount of business de- 

 rived from this source. It seems very 

 clear to us, however, that if double the 



amount were spent next year, it would 

 be money well spent, and believe that 

 the smaller florists throughout the 

 country will soon recognize its value 

 and possibly will subscribe a larger 

 amount than they have in the past." 



If every florist would view our pro- 

 ject in the same way, the support 

 would be such as to make the complete 

 attainment of our object an easy mat- 

 ter, and business for all would be in- 

 creased to a remarkable extent. Be- 

 gin the New Year well — send in a sub- 

 scription, and use our direct service 

 aids. John Young, Secy.
