Valentine Gatz, Albion, N. Y., com- 

 mented upon the unfair method of a 

 grower who opens a store and sells for 

 retail at practically wholesale prices. 

 It surely does not create larger busi- 

 ness and it cuts legitimate profits. A 

 fine line of bedding plants is ready for 

 Mothers' day, which is expected to be 

 a second Easter. Some superfine lilies 

 were noted here.

"It might have been worse," ob- 

 served Manuel Oppenheim, Olean, N. Y., 

 referring to an accident in which the 

 delivery car was smashed by a locomo- 

 tive at a local crossing and in which 

 the driver escaped with bruises. Moth- 

 ers' day will find this company as fully 

 prepared as at Easter, which was a 

 success from every viewpoint.

Too Many of Us 

 Stop Ju^ Short of Starting 



There's not an ounce of power in warm water. 



Nor in hot water. 



But when it's boiling, what a difference! 



Then you have steam. 



With steam up, what can't you do? 



Which fact reminds you and me that there are 

 a lot of us who have some corking good ideas 

 that we start starting, and then because they 

 don't start something right at the very start, we 

 let them all cool down just when a little more 

 heat, so to speak, would have turned them into 

 steam. 



Suppose, for example, the starters of the F. T. 

 D. had got cold feet just because there were a 

 lot of ice water throwers I 



Right now^, suppose we all throw up our hands 

 and refuse to do our part in the S. A. F. Cam- 

 paign, just because there have been some things 

 about it which might have been different. 

 Ic got the steam up, that's sure I 

 It put over Say It With Flowers. 

 If we quit now, the steam will go down and all 

 that money spent in getting steam up will be 

 next to thrown aw^ay. 

 Let's lay aside personal feelings. 

 Let's be big enough to help make everybody's 

 business bigger ; then ours will be bigger in spite 

 of ourselves.

 W. C. Ehniann, Corfu, N. Y., is 

 building a fine family residence, in 

 which is a pool room where the traveling 

 salesman may indulge in a little relaxa-

 nice order. A select strain of snap- 



dragons, Buddleia asiatica and chrys- 

 anthemums form successive crops and 

 a source of large revenue.
