NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The Publicity Fund is augmented 

 this week by a cheque from the St. 

 bouis Florists' Publicity Committee 

 for $4.'?4.70, equivalent to a further con- 

 tribution of 25 per cent of money col- 

 lected by the committee for publicity 

 purposes. Altogether this makes 

 ?l,2(i5.7(i contributed to the campaign 

 this year by the St. Louis florists. Sec- 

 retary J. J. Beneke writes that the 

 committee is looking for a big in- 

 crease to their fund this fall, which 

 means further support to the National 

 Campaign. 



There are very many more commu- 

 nities which could give combined aid 

 to our fund. Some of these are. of 

 course, small in so far as the number 

 of florists is concerned. But if only 

 half a dozen florists would get togetli- 

 er and make a joint subscription, it 

 would be quite satisfactory and show 

 a good feeling toward a movement de- 

 signed only to benefit the trade. 



The good results forthcoming from 

 our campaign have excited the jeal- 

 ousy of other trades. A particular in- 

 stance of this is found in "The Key- 

 stone" for May, a trade paper in the 

 jewelry trade. In this number, occu- 

 pying a full page, is a poetic effusion 

 under the heading. "Say it with .lew- 

 elry." and illustrated with a picture 

 supposedly showing the advantage of 

 jewelry as a gift that is permanent 

 over one of flowers, quickly perish- 

 able. 



These jealous interests may pervert 

 our slogan as they will, but "Say it 

 with Flowers" was well conceived, and 

 it cannot suffer as long as we keep on 

 exploiting it. There has always been 

 a "language of flowers," and flowers 

 speak this langnage as nothing else in 

 this world's goods can. Flowers are 

 more than gifts, they are messengers 

 entrusted with the sweetest messages 

 possible of conveyance. In sickness, 

 sorrow, and joy they speak — could 

 anything else supplant them? 



It is this sentiment that our public- 

 ity has been promoting. Flowers were 

 never considered in this light as they 

 are now. Look over our beautiful ad- 

 vertisements, which have appeared in 

 the national magazines, and it must be 

 admitted that they touch the senti- 

 mental side of their readers, they 

 place flowers in a different category 

 to that in which they have ordinarily 

 figured. They excite a desire to pos-
