(lemand. It is production that fluctu- 

 ates. The cause for this in most cases 

 is weather conditions. But it has only 

 been in tlie last few years that short- 

 ages have become so acute. There must 

 be a reason for this. Here are two fac- 

 tors for readers to think over: One is 

 the national publicity cam])aign; the 

 other is the florists' telegraph delivery 

 service. Unfortunately, wo have no sta- 

 tistics on the first, but the latter has 

 been throwing from $7,000,000 to $10,- 

 000,000 worth of new business into the 

 flower markets of this country per year. 

 Is it any wonder that what at one time 

 was only an ordinary sliortage should 

 under present conditions become a flower 

 famine? Let us hear the conclusion of 

 the whole matter. 



Production Unregulatable. 



The production of flowers cannot be 

 regulated as can a manufactured article. 

 We are going to have gluts, just as we 

 are going to have seasons when flowers 

 are scarce. Let us face both conditions 

 like business men. In the first place, 

 gluts cannot be handled much better 

 than they are at present; that is, by 

 letting the street peddlers have the ad- 

 vantage of them. The public will buy on 

 the streets, because the flowers are 

 cheap, but the buyers reali/o there must 

 be something wrong with the stock of- 

 fered. In times of scarcity we have a 

 harder proposition to deal with, for sup- 

 ply and demand regulate prices. 



For the good of the industry, let us 

 try to stabilize prices. We were near the 

 danger point last winter. There is a 

 wave of readjustment sweeping the 

 country. The florists' industry cannot
