NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



With the passing o£ Independence 

 Day. the florists look forward to a 

 season of two or three months, when 

 the cares of business weigh lightly 

 and consideration can be given to 

 matters other than those concerning 

 the filling of orders. The case is 

 rare where a florist reports any- 

 thing but good business for the sea- 

 son now behind us. Undoubtedly, it 

 was a good season for. practically, 

 everybody in the business, grower 

 and distributor alike. The consump- 

 tion of flowers has been enormous, 

 and Mr. Ashbarrel has not been able 

 to get supplies except in one or two 

 cases when natural conditions favored 

 him, conditions out of the control of 

 the florists. All this has been due to 

 a steady demand for flowers. 



The people of this country have, 

 within the past two years or more, 

 been educated to a greater use of flow- 

 ers. The simplest table now must 

 have its floral decoration. Even the 

 most humble homes must be occasion- 

 ally brightened with a few flowers. 

 Our Campaign for publicity for flow- 

 ers has been a great factor in influenc- 

 ing this demand. Our own publicity 

 has been instrumental in producing 

 other publicity. Newspapers and mag- 

 azines in these days teem with refer- 

 ences to flowers and their use in 

 domestic lifp. "Say it with Flowers" 

 has become a thought as well as a 

 message, and our industry profits in 

 consequence. This is a result which 

 it was expected our Campaign would 

 produce — and it comes to us in splen- 

 did volume. We can keep it active 

 if we will. It is an asset belonging 

 to all of us, it can be made a heritage 

 if we value it sufficiently. 



Many florists, however, fail to see 

 the handwriting on the wall. They 

 seem to accept as a natural condition 

 one that has required effort and the 

 expenditure of large sums of money to 

 create. By their silence and inaction, 

 it might be thought that they were 

 indifferent to our Campaign and Its 

 objects. Could greater proof of the 

 efiicacy of our work be offered than 

 the fact that in what might have been 

 very, very lean years our industry 

 has not suffered, but. on the contrary, 

 has yielded a greater harvest for 

 those engaged in it than was ever 

 recorded in years we have been used 

 to look upon as "fat" ones? There 

 is an opportunity now to take the
