TELEGRAPHING ORDERS IN A RE- 

 CIPROCAL MANNER. 



Boston. .Mass. 



Have you felt the importance of de- 

 livering a telegraphic order to the 

 patron in your city. If you put it up 

 with a bit of personal attention, you 

 have the possibility at least of cre- 

 ating a new customer permanently. 



Eto you appreciate also that a de- 

 partment store figures every custom- 

 er that enters their doors costs them 

 in the neighborhood of $3.12 just to 

 get them in. Now, here is another 

 channel of new business that not only 

 gives you entre. but also gives you a 

 possible customer. 



Give your telegraphic orders as well 

 as your own orders every attention 

 fiossible. It pays.

THE WESTCHESTER AND FAIR- 

 FIELD HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



Greenwich, Conn. 

 The regular monthly meeting of this 

 society was held in Greenwich. Conn., 

 Friday evening. May 14. There was a 

 good attendance with Pres. John 

 Andrews in the chair. Two honorary 

 members were elected and three pro- 

 IK).sals for membership received. Vari- 

 ous subjects were discussed, but the 

 principal speaker of the evening was 

 M. C. Ebel, secretary of the National 

 Association of Gardeners. For two 

 hours he kept the members' attention, 

 describing the working of the Associa- 

 tion Service bureau and giving hints 

 about the betterment of the gardener's 

 position. Mr. Ebel is doing Herculean 

 work for the gardening profession. It 

 would be a good idea for the gardeners 

 to get up some kind of a testimonial 

 to show our appreciation. There was a 

 fine display of plants, flowers and 

 vegetables.
