dressing the request to "The Florists' 

 Publicity Service Bureau of the S. A. 

 F. and O. H., 431 South Dearborn 

 street, Chicago. These helps include 

 poster stamps, posters, folders, elec- 

 trotypes and lantern glides, all calcu- 

 lated to produce local publicity and 

 to link up with the campaign adver- 

 tising. 



The campaign is swinging along to 

 the full extent of the funds available. 

 What a tremendous advantage we are 

 missing through being obliged to 

 adopt a parsimonious course! Was 

 ever a good movement so hampered 

 as ours through downright niggardli- 

 ness on the part of most of those 

 whom it was promoted to assist? In- 

 stead of a drive for subscriptions we 

 should be driven in the acceptance of 

 them. There has been a verj' unrea- 

 sonable amount of the "let George do 

 it" spirit shown so far in the cam- 

 paign. To think that 20,000 or more 

 florists in this prosperous country 

 cannot raise $100,000 to promote bene- 

 fit for themselves worth many mil- 

 lions of dollars, is to think wrong. It 

 is more than possible to raise this 

 amout, if those it is to benefit will 

 only think the right way. 



Mr. Nonsubscriber. please do not 

 block the best game ever played in 

 the interest of the florists' industry 

 by withholding further your support. 

 You owe it to yourself. You owe it to 

 that little band of generous brother 

 florists who have personified "George" 

 up to this time. Think of your Holland 

 friends. Don't be an outlaw. Show us. 

 through your cheque, that you don't in- 

 tend to be.

BOSTON FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION. 



The April meeting of the Boston 

 Florists' Association was held at the 

 City Club on Tuesday evening, April 

 13th, with over fifty members in at- 

 tendance, and it proved to be one of 

 the most enjoyable sessions that the 

 association has held. Five new mem- 

 bers were elected. 



A general discussion was held con- 

 cerning market conditions, wherein 

 the salesmen very briefly stated their 

 side. 



Mr. S. A. Dawson, of the Burlington 

 Willow Ware Co. was a guest, and 

 spoke to the members on Cooperation. 

 He has evidently noticed what seems 

 to be a fact in this section — the lack 

 of cooperation of ail branches of the 

 trade, and referred particularly to a 

 recent visit he made to Philadelphia 

 florists. 



The members were entertained by 

 Prof. J. Frank De Chant, of Sheldon 

 School, who gave a most excellent talk
