When writing to advertisen kindly 

 mention HORTICULTURE 



"When you think of flowers you 

 think of — " 



The critisni was to the effect that 

 many people who read this ad. who 

 might wish to buy flowers would be 

 ignorant of the store in question in 

 spite of the fact that it is now a nos- 

 ton institution of note. I think the 

 criticism still holds good, but when I 

 picked up a copy of the Retail Public 

 T>edger in Philadelphia, the other day, 

 1 found the advertisement reproduced 

 in a news article and with it a little 

 story about Mr. Penn and his store. 



Now this particular paper goes to 

 all parts of the country and the 

 chances are good that many people 

 will buy flowers from Penn when they 

 come to Boston as a direct result of 

 reading that story. This of course is 

 something on which Mr. Penn could 

 not have counted in any way, and yet 

 it shows how far reaching advertising 

 is. and how uncertain results may be 

 when they are expected to come ex- 

 clusively from, a certain medium. 



BOSTON FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION. 



This association held its regular 

 monthly meeting at the Parker House 

 on Tuesday evening, Jan. 6th. Offi- 

 cers for the coming year were elected 

 as follows: 



Henry Penn, president; Wni. Elliott, 

 vice-president; Wm. C. Stickel, treas- 

 urer; BYank Edgar, financial secre- 

 tary; E. Gorney, recording secretary. 



The evening was spent in a discus- 

 sion 'by the growers concerning mar- 

 keting conditions In general. It was 

 started by Herman Bartsch, represent- 

 ing the plant growers, who told what 

 in his opinion were the desires and 

 needs for better marketing conditions 

 from their point of view. Andrew 

 f'hristensen and W. C. Stickel present- 

 ed the arguments for the carnation 

 growers, and William Elliott, chairman 

 of the growers' committee, and E. Al- 

 lan Peirce spoke for the rose growers. 

 One and all brought out particularly 

 the increase in cost of production. Mr. 

 Stickel thought that this would easily 

 reach 100 per cent, and he could not 

 see why 100 per cent increase in the 

 price of cut flowers at wholesale was 

 unreasonable or excessive. 



Mr. Elliott mentioned a few points 

 bearing on the increase in cost of pro- 

 duction, placing coal at two or three 

 times pre-war prices, wages at double, 

 boxes, shipping, glass, repairs, pipe 

 and all kinds of hardware at two to 

 three times, and he thought that 

 double pre-war market prices Is 

 enough, certainly not too much, and 

 three times the prices of lftl3 and 1914 

 would not be unreasonable.
