a case of going every morning among 

 the growers and gathering up tlie stock 

 for the day. 



How well the writer of this can re- 

 member a stern parent calling him from 

 a good, warm bed before daylight, with 

 "If you don't hurry up, Fritz (Frit/. 

 was R. J. Halliday's buyer) will be up 

 to Alex. Scott's ahead of you and you 

 will get nothing." Then; hitching the 

 horse to the wagon, the race was on. 

 First to Scott's, where, if conditions 

 were favorable, you might get two dozen 

 Perle des Jardins roses. In those days 

 Scott's had the best roses. But we can 

 not stop here; the Isaac Moss jilace is 

 our next stoj), and that is a good two 

 and a half miles. There we might pick 

 up from a half to one dozen callas, and 

 Ike always had good bouvardias. I 

 wonder if he can remember that white 

 abutiloii which stood at the end of the 

 house. How that wouM iiclj) out on a 

 design I Take the yellow center out and 

 bend the jietals back— but I must be off 

 to Archie Brackenbridge's, for we can 

 always find some miscellaneous stock at 

 Archie's. Then across the country to 

 Register avenue, where our old friend, 

 E]ichelbergcr, will welcome us, to say 

 nothing of .Tim Rice, on Abel's i)lace. 

 where we always went for camellias and 

 white azaleas. Then there was War- 

 wick, who grew fancy geraniums. Xo 

 matter how cold it might be, there was 

 never any frozen stock, for sheet raw- 

 cotton was cheap and blankets were 

 plentiful. We were back at the store 

 by half past ten. 



If my old friend, Fred Berger, reads 

 this, he will recall some mighty cold 

 mornings along the York road, for Fred 

 in this marathon was a hard one to beat. 

 Nowadays, with the telephone and auto- 

 mobile, if stock cannot be had in Balti- 

 more you can have it from New York 

 and Philadelphia almost as quickly as 

 we in those days could gatiier it up. 



Another big improvement is in deco- 

 rating. In those days we had to use 

 anything we could got liold of, l)ut now 



Mention The Rerlew when yon write. 



it is no ti'ouble to decorate a room, when 

 one lias an abundance of good stock. 

 Two dozen mixed jilants of every va 

 ri(>t>' was about the limit, ;ind when you 

 wanted to make a bank of ])ainis to liide 

 ,'in or(lu>st)ii, or make a liackground for 

 a bridal |iart>', you lia<l to do some build 

 ijig up. If the boys of tixjay who have 

 auto vans could lia\e seen some of the 

 wagons used for liauling jjlants on a cold 

 day, with blankets line<l about it, they 

 would wonder how we uiMiiageil to do it. 

 Yet this was laying the foundation for 

 the florists' business ;is we see it today. 

 Most of the improvements and new 

 methods have been introduced in the last 

 thirty or forty years, so what may we 

 hope for in tlio same length of time in 

 the future?
