Back to Boyhood. 



Haw naay of you old business men, 

 as yen read this, cannot think back and 

 remeMbar the time when you said it to 

 the taaakar with flowers! It may have 

 been im a little red schoolhouse off in 

 the hills. Perhaps the receptacle that 

 held the flowers was only a bottle on 

 her desk, but did they not carry the 

 same message tkat Sa expensive box 

 from our most exclusive florist would

 never be a dead one; the only change 

 since our boyhood is that we are becom-

But I can hear some pessimists say that 

 this is all rot, that we want to boost 

 ' * Say It with Flowers ' ' for the sake of 

 financial return. I say to such that

 national publicity committee? True, in 

 disseminating this education they are 

 bettering their own business and at the 

 same time yours, whether you are a sub- 

 scriber to the fund or not, but at the 

 same time they are bringing more hap- 

 piness and sunshine into this old world. 

 That is why Major O'Keefe has such 

 faith in the slogan. That is why adver-

 in all lines. At the various wholesale 

 markets the demand is steady daily and 

 prices have advanced considerably on 

 fancy stock. The supply is equal to 

 every demand on seasonable stock. Even 

 the quality has improved. 



Chrysanthemums have the call over 

 any other stock for the present. Among 

 those coming in daily are Bonnaffon^ of 

 exceptionally fine quality, Baton, Turner, 

 Chadwick and Chieftain. Bonnaffon, 

 leading the demand, brings $8$ per hun-
