what they were before the war; those 

 who produce good stock, render efficient 

 service and work oconomically find re- 

 ward. 



Landscape nurserymen visited by Mr. 

 Kriek stated they found perennials more 

 profitable than many other items. At 

 the same time they foci that when sell- 

 ing perennials thoy serve the public's 

 desire for real flower gardens as seen 

 all over Europe. 



"Florists sometimes object to han- 

 dling perennials," says Mr. Kriek, "as- 

 serting, as they say it, that they are cut- 

 ting off their own noses by encouraging 

 their customers to have flowers in their 

 own gardens. This really is an error. 

 In Europe there is hardly a garden with- 

 out hardy plants; still, every old-country 

 florist knows that not half so many 

 flowers are used in this country as in 

 Kurope. Tlie time will soon come in 

 America, also, when the average family 

 will not let a Sunday go by without 

 flowers on the table. Tlie public loves 

 flowers; the great slogan, 'Say It with 

 Flowers,' is just in its infancy as a 

 business producer. It is in error that 

 some florists feel a kind of objection 

 to encouraging their customers to buy 

 bulbs and perennials of them just ivs 

 well as flowers. The field in this coun- 

 try for every florist .'inil nurseryman 

 is tremendous." 



As to the seed liouses, according to 

 Mr. Kriek, most of them have sent out 

 their catalogues and the orders coming 

 in tlius far seem surprisingly j)lentifnl, 

 -•ven from southwestern territory, where 

 tmsiness in goriTnl lias not liccn so flour 

 isliing.
