A LETTER FROM PENN. 



Have you helped the Publicity Cam- 

 paign over? We have had many gen- 

 erous contributions from "regular fel- 

 lers" and also many contributions from 

 sections where we least expected them. 

 Then, again, we have had no response 

 from many whom we felt have over- 

 looked the best bet the florists have 

 ever put over. Still we have faith 

 that when the florists have been shown 

 the vast amount of good produced al- 

 ready by our campaign that our $100,- 

 000 fund will soon be reached. 



Just a moment to write a check and 

 forward it to John Young's office, 1170 

 Broadway, New York, and you will 

 have done your duty and incidentally 

 have had the pleasure in participating 

 in what promises to be one of the most 

 important functions we as florists have 

 the privilege to share in. 



This wide movement is only in its 

 infancy and its benefits will redound 

 to the general good of all, and therein
