 Blue Book. It would pay to advertise 

 in the opera program and in the pro- 

 gram of the Chicago orchestra. 



Every retailer will know at least one 

 woman customer who will attend on the 

 opening night. If you have no order 

 to send her flowers, why not send a cor- 

 sage bouquet with your compliments? 

 Make the showing of flowers one that 

 will be talked about and the fashion 

 will be established. 



At every opportunity, before and dur- 

 ing the opera season, make the sug- 

 gestion that it is better to order opera 

 flowers in advance. It will land many 

 a sale to people who otherwise never 

 would think of flowers.

 watched with special interest because 

 it will mean that he also will discontinue 

 growing Easter lilies, for the mums and 

 the lilies go together to make the sea- 

 son's rotation. If Mr. Buettner decides 

 to drop these two crops his glass will be

 been dropped some years ago.
