Figure it out 

 for yourself — 



and you'll find that 



— time waits for no man! 



Next year you will be older than you are now. You 

 will have one year less in wliieh to accomplish the 

 things you started out to accomplish. If there were 

 things that appeared to you to serve as good excuses 

 for not making a move to bring nearer those things 

 you started out to do — for not doing something to 

 realize your ambitions — you may as well face the 

 cold, incontrovertible fact that there never will- 

 come a year or any ])art of a year when something 

 will not appear that may serve as an excuse for 

 marking time and waiting. But burn this into your 

 memory! 



Time never marks time in that way — it never waits. 

 It moves on inexorably and checks otf the days al- 

 lotted to you to make good in your chosen occupation. 



Soyou can readily see, if you were one of those who let 

 war conditions serve as an excuse for standing still, 

 and who then let reconstruction conditions and high 

 prices serve as another excuse and who stand, even 

 now, with both ears o|»en to catch the faintest pessi- 

 mistic murmur that may serve as yet another excuse, 



you will be rudely awakened some day, to a realization 

 of the fact that you are no longer a young man — tliitt 



you are no longer a middle-aged man — that for you 

 the prime of life has passed — that those years of your 

 life that should have been spent in building up a 

 business of sufficient size to take care of your declin- 

 ing years have been spent in marking time — in wait- 

 ing for conditions in which every element, every 

 factor is in your favor. In other words, in wait- 

 ing for something that never has existed and never 

 can exist. 



Conditions right now are as favorable for the build- 

 ing of greenhouses as they are likely to be for a 

 ])eriod of time that will place you and other present- 

 day florists on the retired list. We do not mean by 

 this that times are never going to be good. We mean 

 by this that times right now are relatively good — 

 that most of the unfavorable conditions originated in 

 the fevered imagination of people who are always 

 looking for ghosts — the kind who will prophesy a 

 heavy storm on the brightest and most perfect .Tune 

 day. 



So let us all determine this very hour to make the 

 most we can of the time at our disposal — to make 

 every effort to achieve the success we want — to show 

 the stuff of which we are made. 



We lia\e done our part by reducing the [iricc of greeiiliouse materials approximately 



% 



You can do your part by taking advantage of this reduction. 



Of course, the sooner we get together — the better. 

 When will it be?
