The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 19, 1916. 



just that season he had spent about 

 $15 on new carnations! When we in- 

 formed him that our firm spent any- 

 where from $100 to $300 each year for 

 new carnations, he nearly fell dead. 

 It is a fact that the successful growers 

 are those who buy the novelties, and I 

 firmly believe that their success is 

 largely due to the fact that they make 

 nse of the improved varieties as they 

 become available. 



Safety First in Shipping. 



Too much stock is subjected to the 

 delays and dangers attending freight 

 shipments. Few if any plants are bene- 

 fited by shipping, and every additional 

 day in transit reduces their value more 

 than the amount saved in express 

 charges. I recall a shipment of palms, 

 invoiced at nearly $200, which was 

 caught in an early cold snap in No- 

 vember and completely ruined. "Safety 

 first" should be your watchword in 

 shipping plants. 



Perhaps no class of buildings are 

 worse neglected than greenhouses when 

 it comes to painting. And this in spite 

 of the well-known fact that not only 

 does paint prolong the life of the green- 

 house, but plants thrive better in a 

 light house than in a dark one. The 

 only excuse ever offered is the cost 

 of the painting. I believe that the cost 

 of painting a greenhouse every three 

 years woi3d be returned in the in- 

 creased yield of the plants, to say 

 nothing of the prolongation of the life 

 of the hotise. 



The Trade Organizations. 



Every person connected with the 

 trade should affiliate with the trade 

 organizations. The good accomplished 

 by both local and national societies is 

 such that they m^rit greater support 

 than is now given them. We sometimes 

 hear the complaint that there are too 

 many different societies and that it 

 costs too much to belong to them all. 

 The fact is, you can belong to them all 

 for life, for less money than many of 

 you have spent on some pet hobby, and 

 they are doing you infinitely more 

 good. 



And don't, stay away from the con- 

 ventions and flower shows on account 

 of the expense. Here, again, I might 

 say that the successful ones among 

 you are those who take advantage of 

 every opportunity to mingle with their 

 fellow craftsmen, and the larger the 

 gathering the greater the opportunity 

 for learning. 



There are many other forms of false 

 economy, but I have pointed out those 

 which are in daily use and which we 

 all ought to know better than to prac- 

 tice. I have touched upon each one 

 but briefly, feeling that a free discus- 

 sion would perhaps do the most good.
