NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 

 Through a clerical error, the date 

 of the meeting of the Publicity Com- 

 mittee in Indianapolis was stated to be 

 October 12th. The meeting will take 

 place on Monday, October 11th. 



The city of Cleveland will, officially, 

 "Say it with Flowers," at the opening 

 of its magnificent new Auditorium on 

 March 25th, 1922, arrangement.^ hav- 

 ing been completed for opening the 

 building with the Fifth National Flow- 

 er Show, which will be in progress 

 from March 25th to April 1st in that 

 year. 



Last week we reported a subscrip- 

 tion of $50 to our fund from Bees Ltd., 

 of Liverpool, England. In making 

 this subscription, Mr. Horton, of the 

 firm, says, "We have had the pleasure 

 of executing a large number of tele- 

 graph orders in behalf of United 

 States florists, and are confident that 

 much of this business is the outcome 

 of your publicity campaign. If you 

 have time to read the English horti- 

 cultural press, you may have noticed 

 that I am interesting myself in a 

 national publicity campaign to pro- 

 mote the increased consumption of 

 flowers, and the British Chamber of 

 Horticulture, in conference with dele- 

 gates from associated bodies has ap- 

 proved the idea, and I am now en- 

 gaged in preparing one or two draft 

 schemes to lay before the executive 

 It occurs to me that as we shall use 

 slogans for flowers, fruits and vege- 

 tables, it would add immensely to the 

 forcefulness of the advertising if one 

 slogan was used for each throughout 

 all English speaking communities. 

 Please ask your executive it they see 

 any reason why "Say it with Flowers" 

 should not be the slogan for flowers 

 here as well as in the United States, 

 and whether they do not think that 

 United States florists stand to gain 

 and not to lose by its use in a cam- 

 paign on this side. Traveling Ameri- 

 cans would see your slogan em- 

 blazoned over here, and traveling 

 Britishers and overseas cousins would 

 all help to spread the phrase. Be- 

 tween us we could make "Say it with 

 Flowers" a spontaneous expression 

 wherever English is spoken." In a 

 postscript, Mr. Horton mentioned 

 that the sum he had promised for the 

 commencement of the British cam- 

 l)aign was $500, with an additional 

 $500 if any firm would make a like 

 contribution. And yet there are many 

 florists on this side of the water who
