TOO LATE FOR H. OTAKSA. 



How should I treat Hydrangea Otaksa 

 that did not bloom last spring? These 

 plants were cut back last January and 

 left in the same pots. They need trans- 

 planting and cutting back. When is 

 the best time to do it? I want them to 

 bloom in May of next year. Should 

 they be exposed to a light frost? 



C. L.— O. 



M\ ■ ■ — 



.. ',) It is too late now to do muth cutting 



vback on hydrangeas. If thii work had 

 been done last April, or even May, the 

 plants would have made a good growth, 

 which, if well ripened and carried prop- 

 erly through the winter, would have 

 given you plenty of flowers the follow- 

 ing spring. Your plants should have 

 been repotted long ago, or, better still, 

 planted outdoors. It will hardly pay 

 you to bother with these plants and I 

 would suggest that you buy some field 

 or pot-grown stock from one of the spe- 

 cialists in hydrangeas who advertise in 

 The Review. H. Otaksa can be sub- 

 jected to a light freezing, but a stiff 

 freeze will kill the flower buds, espe- 

 cially where the wood has not been well 

 matured. C. W. 



Just Supposing 



HUPPOSE last spriasr, when the 

 building rush was at its height, 

 that one of the largest custo- 

 mers from another greenhouse con- 

 cern had come to us with a nice 

 snug order. 



Suppose he wanted our besthouse, 

 and wanted it quick, with no hag- 

 gling on price. 



Suppose be complained to us about 

 the poor service he had been receiv- 

 ing and said he came to us because 

 of our reputation for promptness 

 and dependableness. Do you sup- 

 pose we would have jollied him 

 along and promised an early deliv- 

 ery, when we knew it was next to 

 impossible? 



Not by a long shot! 



We would b? absolutely frank 

 and fair about it. 



HitcKitv£fs 



NEW VMM OmCE 

 1171 Brssriway 



Frank to him. 



Fair to our old customers. 



We would have shown him the 

 orders and promises ahead, and, 

 pointing out our old customers, de- 

 clared, "We must take care of 

 them first." 



Then we would have explained to 

 him that the way we were treating 

 these old customers would be ex- 

 actly the treatment he would 

 always receive from us, year after 

 year, when he once became our 

 customer. 



This "supposing case" gives you 

 a peep into our business policy. If 

 it's the kind of policy that you have 

 been looking for— then we are look- 

 ing for you. 



We go anywhere for business, or 

 to talk business.
