finishing up their stock of designs for 

 this holiday. I had never before seen 

 wreaths made up so far in advance, 

 but Robert told me that they kept well 

 when wrapped in paper, and that get- 

 ting them out of the way during these 

 dull days was better than working 

 nights in December. There will be dull 

 days in September, and this might be a 

 tip for some of the florists who put this 

 work off until the last thing. 



Another good vv'ay to keep oneself 

 and help employed during these dull 

 days is to go over the order books for 

 last Christmas and make up a list of the 

 regular customers and their orders for 

 last year, then get these ready now, to 

 send out the first week in December 

 with a letter explaining that it is the 

 customer's order for last year and that 

 it is sent as a guide for the customer in 

 making up his order for this year. If 

 you will stop to think you will remem- 

 ber many who would come in from time 

 to time to add to their order something 

 that had been overlooked, in some cases 

 after you were sold out and they could 

 not get what they wanted. In this way 

 you will get the complete order early 

 and it will be a good guide for you in 

 liandling your stock. I might add here 

 that the wholesale house miglit find this 

 a big help for the holidays, as some of 

 them tried it out last winter and it 

 proved a big success to the wholesaler 

 and retailer alike. In any case, it 

 makes the customer realize that vou are 

 on the job. 



In a recent issue of The Review I 

 noticed an item that started me think- 

 ing. A. H. Hews & Co., the pot manu- 

 facturers, say they are not going to 

 manufacture azalea pans this season,
