one could deny that it was better to do 

 business at a profit than at a loss. 



It was proposed to get up an agree- 

 ment binding all those present to sell 

 their plants at an increase of twenty 

 five per cent over last year's prices. 

 This was turned down on the ground 

 that the only true way to carry out the 

 plan was for each grower to feel that it 

 was to his interest to do so. The plan 

 as adopted by the meeting is that each 

 grower agrees to ask and to do his best 

 to obtain an advance of twenty-five per 

 cent over last year's prices on all Easter 

 and spring plants. The wholesale prico 

 on geraniums in 4-inch pots, for May 

 delivery, is to be $10 per hundred, in- 

 stead of $7 or $8 per hundred, as former- 

 ly. The wholesale price on all small bed- 

 ding plants that formerly sold at $3 per 

 hundred is to be $4 per hundred. The 

 wholesale price on Easter lilies that 

 formerly sold at $10 per hundred flowers 

 is to be $12 per hundred flowers, and so 

 on, in proportion. One grower told some 

 of his friends in the evening that he had 

 booked an order the day before for a 

 large number of 4-inch geraniums at 

 $100 per thousand from a customer who 

 paid him $75 per thousand last year. 

 The general feeling among the growers 

 regarding the effect of the meeting is 

 that many of the growers will stand by 

 the gentlemen's agreement made, and 

 that those who do so will benefit bv it.

The Forrest Flower Shop, 



A plate glass window site inside the 

 plate glass window. A window site 

 formed of plate glass blocks, so clean 

 ^d free from tarnish that vase and 

 flower are reflected with truth of color 

 and form. That is the striking charac- 

 teristic of the Forrest Flower Shop 

 window. The scene was set for spring. 

 Lilies and daffodils and tulips and hya- 

 cinths and lilacs were all tastefully ar- 

 ranged in the most charming vases, with 

 here and there a basket to lend variety. 

 Perhaps the most pleasing was a tall,
