creasing by leaps and bounds, demands 

 close personal attention, as a guarantee 

 practically accompanies every tree or 

 plant sent out. Mr. Barr was recently 

 elected president of the Pennsylvania 

 Nurserymen's Association, a token of 

 the lively interest he has taken in tliis 

 branch of the business.

T. J. Opperman, Camp Hill, Pa., com- 

 paring the season's business with that 

 of the years previous, is sanguine re- 

 garding the future. The stock is not so 

 promising in volume, but is returning 

 better prices for the finer quality of 

 stock. Dutch bulbs are blooming heav- 

 ily and, dressed in attractive form, 

 catch the buyer's eye.

The Schmidt Flower Shop, Harris-

 the result of persistent advertising, with 

 the goods to back up the claim for su- 

 periority.

T. Malbranc, Johnstown, Pa., has 

 taken a long lease on the store and has 

 plans to make it up-to-date throughout. 

 The big range of glass is producing fine 

 carnations and roses, with the usual va- 

 riety needed in a retail store.

A Language Understood By All 



If you were lucky enough to have but a chance 

 acquaintance with Caruso, you knew how pas- 

 sionately fond he was of flowers. 

 A fondness which extended to anything and 

 everything of simple, sincere worth-whileness. 



Here is one story which may throw a gleam 

 upon his character. He was with the Metro- 

 politan Company in San Francisco at the time 

 nf the great earthquake. 



He rushed from his room in one of the upper 

 stories with only one thing of all the effects he 

 had there. What do you suppose that was? 



A large photograph of Theodore Roosevelt, 

 then president, on which Roosevelt had written 

 some generous words of regard and apprecia- 

 tion. That was the one thing he endeavored to 

 save. 

 The rest he left. 



At the last anniversary of Roosevelt's birth- 

 day, I stood by his grave and saw among others, 

 the white haired octogenarian, Lyman Abbott, 

 place on it a simple floral tribute. 

 Never before did I appreciate the all-encom- 

 passing eloquence of those floral expressions 

 and the utter inadequacy of the spoken words. 

 Flowers are the only language that speaks alike 

 TO all and FOR all. 



What a wonderful awakening to this fact, is 

 the F. T. D. responsible ! 



Don't forget your special appeal for F. T. D. orders on
