Houses To Visit 



On Your Boston 



Vacation Visitation Visit 



ON Decoration Day, I was talking with a leading New 

 York State florist about his vacation, when he dove 

 into his inside pocket and pulled out an advertise- 

 ment, containing a partial list of our houses in and around 

 Boston. Handing it to me, he said, "I am going to Boston 

 on my vacation and shall visit some of those houses. If 

 the fellow who wrote that Ad. had put in the directions 

 how to get to the houses, and also what each grower grows, 

 it would have been a big help to me." 



I I 

 I I 



Then I promptly offered to do 

 that very thing for him. 



And now it occurs to us that 

 you may also be going to Boston 

 and would like just such a list. 

 So here it is. 



Here's hoping you will have a 

 jolly good time, and come away 

 with a bundle of helpful ideas. 



Of course, you'll call on Mr. 

 Elder, our Eastern Manager. 

 Lord & Burnham Co.'s office is 

 in the Tremont Building, and 

 you will be warmly welcomed.
