"T'was the love for flowers and the 

 joy they brought," observed Mrs. Rob- 

 ert Stiles, of Petersburg, Va., in her 

 reason for entrance into the profession. 

 That she has been eminently successful 

 is evidenced in the inviting surround- 

 ings. Mr. Stiles is a valuable aid. Both 

 agreed that the trip to the S. A. F. 

 convention was well worth the effort.

S. L. Coble, proprietor of J. L. O'- 

 Quinn & Co., Ealeigh, N. C, found at the 

 last moment he could not get to Wash- 

 ington to attend the convention and he 

 expressed satisfaction with the able re- 

 ports as conveyed in The Review.

Ricliard Fowler, supeiiiiteiuk'ut of the 

 greenhouse branch of the J. Van Lind- 

 ley Nursery Co., Greensboro, N. C, has 

 added Crusader to the list of roses and 

 he hopes it will prove as meritorious as 

 Russell, Double Killarney, Hadley, Dun- 

 lop, Columbia, Premier, Mme. Butterfly, 

 White Ophelia, Sunburst and Aaron 

 Ward, now grown here, with Kaiseriu 

 the best summer-blooming variety. The 

 entire output of 75,000 feet of glass is 

 disposed of at the retail store, in addi- 

 tion to a fine lot of pot ferns and the 

 usual forced bulbous stock.

Samuel R. Aiken, of Scholtz the Flo- 

 rist, Charlotte, N. C, was decorating 

 the window with ferns in baskets, in- 

 terspersed with gladioli and asters, of 

 which the company has a grand lot, and 

 observed that it was tlie biggest mistake 

 to allow the store window to rest at any 

 time. He said, "It is just so much 

 publicity and we figure upon a certain 

 amount of expense in making a good 

 show." A good season is reported, 

 with every prospect of a continuance. 

 W. W. Scholtz has charge of the green- 

 houses and is in line with a fine lot of 

 carnations, ferns and blooming plants.

Charles A. Moss, of Spartanburg, S. 

 C., was caught on the fly, so to speak, 

 for he had just returned from a vacation 

 and had not had time to look around. 

 Fortunate in having good help and a 

 lucrative business, the result of hard 

 work, Mr. Moss enjoys an occasional 

 let-up, which prepares one for the sea- 

 son 's long siege.

Walter Lawrence, of the Lawrence 

 Floral Co., Atlanta, Ga., observed that 

 "there was so much to be seen at Wash- 

 ington, so many hustling salesmeu to 

 acknowledge, that he fairly tore him- 

 self away, before getting into too deep 



a hole."

William Wainwright, of Mills, Inc., 

 Jacksonville, Fla., happened in the capi- 

 tal city of the south on a vacation visit 

 and mentioned that, while he noted ad- 

 vancement at Atlanta, progress is being 

 made in the gateway to the land of 

 Asparagus plumosus and the orange.

TO OUR BROTHER FLORISTS: 



FLOWERS AND CO-OPERATION 



Let us learn from the flowers the lesson of co-operation. A single 

 flower, growing alone, makes no great show. Many flowers, grow- 

 ing in harmony, will transfigure even a desert.
