 florists of the country have, so far, real-

 pledging subscriptions. There is no 

 longer any doubt as to the efficacy of 

 the campaign — in the face of the excep- 

 tionally large volume of business ac- 

 complished during the recent holidays, 

 there could not be. 



If the campaign was not the most 

 prominent factor in bringing about this 

 condition, what wast Various features 

 figuring in the volume of the Christmas 

 trade were not mere happenings — the 

 unusual demand for flowers and plants 

 for gifts, for instance. This can be 

 traced directly to our magazine adver- 

 tising, which emphasized most strongly 

 the suitability of our products for gifts. 

 Always Immediate Betnms.

 publicity for the year just opened. The 

 prestige we have gained for our slogan
