In other words, with our present condi- 

 tion to face, would it not be ideal if the 

 grower could produce a higher and bet- 

 ter grade of material, which would en- 

 ' title him to a higher price, rather than 

 to produce more material, much of 

 which might be inferior, as is usual un- 

 der such conditions? Also, to produce 

 more flowers means more men, more la- 

 bor and more expense, hence energy lost. 

 Now, if we can have better material at 

 a higher cost, can we not expect to ob- 

 tain better satisfaction all around by 

 better prices for the smaller allotment 

 that each purchaser will eventually get? 

 Incidentally, this will tend toward fur- 

 ther uplift for wholesaler and retailer 

 alike. 



A Reasonable Solution. 



This solution is a reasonable one when 

 we consider the rising market we must 



expect to face continually this year and 

 next, due to increased labor costs as 

 well as to the increase in price of all 

 other commodities which enter our mar- 

 kets. Men who have delved into these 

 facts are already planning along these 

 lines. 



Florists generally have already risen 

 to the situation and are sensing the 

 fact that by operating their greenhouses 

 to 100 per cent quality they will net 

 more money with less worry and trouble, 

 and will also eventually be able to cope 

 with the shorter working day that will 

 sooner or later hit the florists' trade. 



This is merely a suggestion as to what 

 the future holds in store for us. It is 

 up to us to take advantage of the sit- 

 uation. Henry Penn, 

 Chairman National Publicity Campaign.
