the florist that could be grown in 

 quantity tor the purposes of cutting. 



"There may be reasons why the 

 Southern Smilax, Holly Galax leaves, 

 Laurel, Ferns, Mahonia, etc., are gath- 

 ered from the wild and shipped long 

 distances in such quantities, but those 

 reasons are not complimentary to the 

 enterprise of the nursery trade, and 

 this source may be permanent but it 

 is very much like wasting natural re- 

 sources. 



"Then there is a big field in orna- 

 mental berried plants, the florist trade 

 knows very little about, and it is up 

 to the nurserymen to show them. One 

 can almost imagine the sensation a 

 big supply of Celastius scandens, 

 Ilex verticilata, deciduous Euonymus, 

 would cause if it were available in 

 quantity and in prime condition tov 

 the florist decorating trade." "" "■ '\ "
