terially over previous seasons, and that 

 the production of cut stock has by no 

 means kept pace with this increase. 

 Hence the shortage. 



Now, to get back to a hackneyed 

 phrase, "Supply and demand regulate 

 prices." We must admit that prices 

 have been high. This means dissatis- 

 fied purchasers; not only in prices, but 

 in being unable to get what they want 

 when they want it. This condition may 

 be satisfactory to the grower who does 

 not care to expand, but, from a busi- 

 ness standpoint, is it good business f 



The time has come when I feel that 

 this question should be faced squarely. 

 Before going into the question further, 

 I want to remind the growers that the 

 retailers have been making excuses for 

 high prices to the public all winter, giv- 

 ing the high price of production for the 

 excuse. Now, let us be honest with 

 ourselves. Has not the lack of produc- 

 tion had more to do with the high prices 

 that have prevailed in the cut flower 

 market during the last season than the 

 cost of samef It was Abraham Lincoln 

 who said, "You can't fool all the people 

 all the time." The public is long-suf- 

 fering, but in these days of readjust- 

 ment in all lines of business, is 

 quick to take note of the stationary 

 prices of flowers. Is it not time for 

 the growers to get together and have a 

 general house-cleaningf 



Just review your records of several 

 seasons and see if your produc- 

 tion during the last one was not as 

 great as any of them. Look over the 

 space you have devoted to the produc- 

 tion of cut stock and see if it is not as 

 great as in previous years. Has your 

 production during the last season not 

 been as prolific as in previous seasons! 

 Ascertain these facts and, if yon find
