most apt to get the loan. If the state- 

 ments and the figures do not agree, it is 

 an indication, usually, that the florist 

 does not know his business and the 

 hanker hesitates to grant credit in such 

 a case. 



"Where a florist does know his busi- 

 ness thoroughly it is ordinarily the 

 policy of the banker to let him have the 

 money and then to keep in touch with 

 liim. If his business is gaining, if he is 

 getting along well, the bank is safe. If 

 his business is not doing well, the bank 

 has to shut down on credit."

Let's Cut Out 



Our Needless 



Cuttings 



One |day last September we 

 took the little old bus, and 

 trundled off into the across 

 country by-roads. 



Finally we ^ruck a regular 

 joy place, lined on each side 

 with} oodlesi of wild asters, 

 goldenrod and Joe Pye weed. 

 The road was pretty "punk." 



Stones, ruts, puddles and all 

 kinds of things to shake your 

 spine loose from your com- 

 placency. 



Suddenly we came upon four 

 men with scythes, mowing 

 down all that wonderful way- 

 side joy. 



They were cutting down those 

 things of beauty which did no 



harm; and not doing a thing to 

 that pesky old road which was 

 in such frightful condition. 



It set me to thinking about 

 some of the things we were 

 doing at the shop. 



Before 1 got back, came to 

 the conclusion that we needed 

 to stop a lot of our wayside 

 cutting and do a bit of repair- 

 ing. 



As'a result we cut out several 

 things that were cutting into 

 our profits. 



Drop in some day and I'll tell 

 you one of the bigge^ ones. 

 Have a notion, it has some 

 bearing on your|F. T. D. busi- 

 ness.

 chairmen were most enthusiastic over 

 the prospects for the show. Each prom- 

 ised his heartiest cooperation in a gen- 

 eral effort to make the show a huge 

 success. 



The Trade Exhibition. 



Considerable discussion took place in 

 regard to the arrangements for the 



trade exhibits. In accordance with the 

 plan discussed at the Washington meet- 

 ing relating to the a(?option of a uni- 

 form decorative scheme to cover all 

 trade displays, the secretary presented 

 a sketch embodying a layout, which the 

 committee took under consideration.
