metliod.s wliieli :irc now recognized as 

 iinescapable. One thing is too obvious 

 to disj)ute; tliat is, that neither the 

 self-interest nor the intelligence of the 

 vast majority of Americans will pa- 

 tiently acquiesce in the lluctuation of 

 flower prices. 



Three weeks ago the National Flower 

 Growers' Association was definitely 

 launched at Clevelaml. Xo one can pre- 

 dict accurately what its outcome will 

 be, but to my mind in its hands is the 

 solution of the whole question. In this 

 organization, witii a local body operat- 

 ing in every community, each local might 

 have a committee to act in the capacity 

 of a board of trade. When gluts oc- 

 curred of any particular flower this com- 

 mittee could work out a scheme where- 

 by, after the legitimate retail trade 

 was supplied, the surplus would be used 

 for advertising purposes and thereby 

 turn to the benefit of the entire trade 

 instead of to its detriment. In op- 

 posite conditions this same committee 

 might, in times of scarcity, add to the 

 cost of production a fair profit and then 

 see to it that stock got into the hands 

 of the retailer at a fair price. I talked 

 with retailers of all classes last winter 

 about high prices, and every one assured 

 me that he was only adding 100 per 

 cent to the wholesale price of stock, 

 which was the lowest margin upon 

 which he could conduct his business.
