The Florists^ Review 



■NoraMBiB 7, 1918. 



Waxren, O.— rPrank R Adgate, of Ad- 

 gate & Son, working upon a floral harp 

 to the tune of $25 the other day, ob- 

 gerved that funeral work had, of late, 

 been unusually plentiful, with a prepon- 

 derance of harps. Opening a box of 

 roses and reading the slip, he expressed 

 the belief that the wholesaler was look- 

 ing after his grower's interests, adding 

 that sometimes the price slips acted as 

 a stimulus to a corresponding advance 

 at retail, giving the retailer backbone, 

 so to . speak. Mr. Adgate frankly ad- 

 piits he never misses a number o£ The 

 Eoview, realizing the valuable time ob- 

 sorbed in its compilation and, with him, 

 it has a corresponding value.
