WHEN WILL FLORISTS FLY? 



Will the Chicago wholesale florists 

 make deliveries to outlying towns by 

 the newly establishefl air service al- 

 ready advertised by a large firm of 

 tailors? How soon will the salesmen 

 for the florists' supply houses make 

 their calls on the trade with an air 

 "flivver?" 



An American aviator crossed the 

 Atlantic for the first time, but the only 

 announcement of one of the trade em- 

 ploying an aeroplane comes from across 

 the water. Boulton & Paul, greenhouse 

 builders, at Norwich, England, who 

 turned over their plant to the manu- 

 facture of aeroplanes during the war, 

 have continued an aircraft branch even 

 after resuming their former activity. 

 Not only have they entered a biplane 

 for the London Daily Mail's $50,000 

 prize in the transatlantic flight, but 

 they have actually commenced using 



one of their two-seater machines as a 

 vehicle for one of their sales managers. 

 Some of the largest importers of cut 

 flowers from the continent, it is re- 

 ported, are already making inquiries 

 as to the possibilities of aerial trans- 

 port, and Boulton & Paul may before 

 long build aeroplanes as well as green- 

 houses for the trade in the British Isles. 



IN DEFENSE OF SENTIMENT. 



When the Chicago florists provided 

 hundreds of dollars' worth of flowers to 

 be strewn before the parading soldiers 

 of the 33d Division, just returned from 

 France, last week, someone with more 

 frugality than imagination had to 

 spread a little gloom by bemoaning such 

 ill-placed generosity. The prompt de- 

 fense and praise of the florists' act by a 

 reader in the next day's Daily News 

 impressed John Poehlmann. Here it is: 



FLOWERS FOR SOLDIERS. 



"L. B." wrote: "The Idea of strewing flow- 

 ers for the boys of the 33d Division to walk on Is 

 most absurd." "L. B." undoubtedly wrote with- 

 out thought, as many people are likely to write. 

 The floral offering to the heroes of the 33d Di- 

 vision was a gift from the florists of Chicago, 

 who wished to show a beautiful sentiment at 

 the home-coming of these men. 



Chicago florists have been extremely patriotic 

 throughout the war. Their record is 100 per 

 cent plus In the purchase of Liberty bonds, while 

 they gave liberally of flowers during the Red 

 Cross and Y. M. C. A. drives — to be sold for the 

 benefit of those societies, which have done so 

 much good during the last four years. 



"L. B." must be one who does not believe In 

 sentiment. He forgets that life is largely sen- 

 timent. Sentiment makes values in real estate 

 and l.n nearly all Items of personal property. 

 "L. B." says: "I think instead of fiowers the 

 people should give the hoys Jobs." He doesn't 

 stop to consider that the magnanimity of the 

 fiorists of Chicago In presenting flowers to the 

 returning soldiers creates a grand sentiment and 

 that sentiment helps to arouse a determination 

 among Chicago citizens to see that the return- 

 ing soldiers are provided with jobs.
