NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 

 The Publicity Campaign was a very 

 important topic at the Cleveland Con- 

 vention of the Society last week. An 

 enthusiastic gathering at the session 

 devoted to it endorsed the work that 

 had been done, and there were many 

 outspoken in their praises of the cam- 

 paign. Owing to the apathy of a very 

 large majority of the florists of the 

 country, which of late has been very 

 marked, it was a question in the minds 

 of some whether the campaign might 

 not be abandoned. There was, how- 

 ever, a general expression of opinion 

 that any abandonment would be an ap- 

 palling calamity in view of the tre- 

 mendous amount of good accomplished 

 for the florists' industry. As a result, 

 the campaign is to be pushed more 

 vigorously than ever. 



One feature of the proceedings was 

 the reading of a letter from a large 

 florist concern in England. Bees, Ltd. 

 of Liverpool, enclosing a cheque for 

 $50.00 as a subscription to the cam- 

 paign, and containing a request for 

 permission to use the slogan "Say it 

 with Flowers" in connection with a 

 Publicity Campaign about to be started 

 in England. It goes without saying 

 that the permission was granted. The 

 slogan ought in time to have world- 

 wide use. 



The fact was deplored that quite a 

 number of florists had not yet met the 

 obligations of their subscription guar- 

 antees. This has, no doubt, been due 

 to carelessness. It is honed that they 

 will now feel the importance of mak- 

 ing remittance, and send in their 

 cheques without further delay. 



Our committee are pleased to con- 

 tinue their work, but it is up to the 

 florists to give the necessary financial 

 assistance. As has often been said in 

 this column, if every florist would give 

 only five dollars (?5.00) toward the 

 campaign, it would be fully financed. 

 Several have Individually given one 

 hundred times this amount, but that is 

 no reason why ninety-nine other flor- 

 ists in each case should evade a sub- 

 scription to the fund which is creat- 

 ing so much benefit for them. 



At the convention hundreds of In- 

 cidents were related in proof of the 

 business bringing power of our slogan, 

 and its actual promotion of business. 

 All this .was very Interesting to these 

 who have thus tar subscribed, and 

 especially to those enthusiasts who
