said the Kansas City Star, publishing 

 a fine description of the cclosias, straw- 

 flowers and sweet peas being grown 

 there. According to Mr. Ayres, the boule- 

 \ard was crowded all the following day 

 with visitors admiring the splendid dis- 

 l)lay. This was entirely unsolicited pub- 

 licity, evidence of the intelligence and 

 l)rogressiveness of the local press, a fore- 

 taste of what convention matters will 



receive.

 specialize in dahlias, which are now to 

 1)0 seen at their best. J. J. Barkley, 

 in commenting upon the holding of the 

 >S. A. F. convention at Kansas City lu'xt 

 year, believes it will spur many who 

 are anxious to show the profession what 



they are doing.

W. J. Barnes, of W. J. Barnes & Son, 

 Kansas City, Mo., observed tiiat it was 

 the best stunt that could be jnit over 

 to bring the convention here and that 

 they were already beginning to joc^parc 

 surprises for the visitors.

How Schling 

 and Fallon Do It 



Ever talk to Max Schling over the phone? 



If you have, you sure have been impressed by 

 the smile that's in his voice. 

 Some say it's his "business voice." 



But I know different. Know it, because I have 

 both heard and seen Max phoning. 



He smiles while he talks. 



Furthermore, he says: "You can't put a smile in 

 your voice, if you don't have it on your face." 



Max is dead right. 



The phone is like a photograph. Shows up things 

 about our real selves that we kid ourselves into 

 believing we have completely hidden. 



My old friend Fallon, of Norfolk, Virginia, says: 

 "Some folks short-fill their F. T. D. orders and 

 think they are getting away with it. 



But the only one they fool is themselves." 

 Fallon's way is to fill F. T. D. orders fuller, if 

 anything. 



We try to put Max's smile and Fallon's full 

 measure into everything we do. 

 You might like to bear it in mind, when sending 

 your F. T. D. orders.

ness iuiiong the retailers and, of course, 

 the wholesale markets, too, had a slump 

 in demand. Better things are looked for 

 next month, as October will be gay with 

 autumn weddings, both large and small. 

 An interesting group of debutantes will 

 be entertained, while some Avill be in the 

 "Veiled Proj)het's Court." The Mis- 

 souri Centennial, which will take jilace 



the first week in Oetcd)er, should (■rt\'ile 

 a gre.at deal of business. 



The wholesale market was crowded 

 with stock of everything in season all 

 last week ami, with the reported lull, 

 prices had to suffer greatly, especially 

 in large lots. Ros(»s are coming along 

 well and local-grown roses are much in 

 demand. The weather hurt the quality
