Another Thing 



Has Said 



It's plain as day that somebody besides Tommy, the 



office boy, has been dozing. 



Not only dozing, but sound asleep. 



After saying which, let me explain this outburst. 



Going on for a half century more or less, we have 

 been trying to say something that would say Just the 

 thing that ought to be said about our houses. We 

 wanted to say it in such a way that we wouldn't be 

 accused of saying so sweeping a thing, for example, as: 

 "Lord & Burnham houses are the best houses built." 



Still, in all frankness, it's exactly what we would 

 like to have said. 



Like to because, like yourself, we honestly believe 

 it's so. 



However, there are a lot of growers who would at 

 once say we were bursting our cheeks blowing our 

 own horn. 

 So that's why we have kept sort of still iind waited 



for someone or something to blow it that much for us. 

 That very thing has happened. 

 This is how. 



Last night we were checking up the prize winnings 



in the Flower Shows of the country, covering a period 



of ten years. 



We checked the names of the winners, against the 



names on our customer list who had our houses. 



The agreeable fact showed up that 76 per cent of the 



prizes awarded were won with flowers grown in Lord 



& Burnham houses. 



So. seemingly, they have "Said It With Flowers," 



while we have been struggling to say it with words. 



So whether George Stumpp's Ancient Monk, or Major 

 O'Keefe's fertile mind created the phrase, it certainly 

 is a masterpiece. 



When you "Say It With Flowers" nothing remains 

 to be said.
