T^ STRAUS FLOWERS 



October. Tlie florists were invited by 

 the fair officials to consifler making a 

 flower show an annual feature of the 

 ■^tate fair, not only by displaying cut 

 flowers and potted plants in a space set 

 apart for them in one of tlie buildings, 

 but also by planting flowering bulbs and 

 shrubs in borders and beds on the fair 

 grounds. This plan is in line with the 

 efi'orts of Mrs. Vanderbilt and her help- 

 ers to make the fair grounds a place of 

 beauty during fair week, when North 

 *^arolinians will have the opportunity of 

 seeing an exhibit of the floral magnifi- 

 cence of the state. 



At a meeting recently hold of mem- 

 bers of the association, attended by G. 

 J. Starr, of Starr the Florist, Wilson; 

 Otto Busseck, of Middlemont Gardens, 

 Asheville; C. N. Hibbard, of the Dur- 

 ham Floral Co., Durham; A. J. Sykes, of 

 the Van Lindley Co., Greensboro; and 

 J. E. Wholey, of the J. J. Fallon Co., 

 Raleigh. Arrangements were made to 

 use space in the octagonal part of Flo- 

 ral hall. There will be eight booths in 

 the hall and the center of the space will 

 be used. In one of the booths the flo- 

 rists will have a demonstration of the 

 work of the F. T, D. A telegraph in- 

 strument will probably be installed, 

 and there will be a repre^^entative of the

We Don t Prescribe 

 But Here's A Prescription 



Just the other night six florists were sitting arourtd 

 a dinner table here in little old New York, when the 

 talk turned to the prompt filling of F. T. D. orders. 

 It seems several of them had kicks because their 

 telegraph orders had evidently been side-tracked. 

 One of them talked pretty plain to the offender. 

 I-Ie said, "Tom, you remind me of an old colored 

 woman in our town who one day brought one of 

 her youngsters with her to help tote home our 

 wash. 



"I asked her what his name was." 

 "His'n name?" says she, "why, his'n name do be 

 Purscription. I calls him dat because it takes him 

 so long to get filled." 



The next day 1 called the boys together and told 

 them about Mandy. 



Not that we haven't always given F. T. D. orders 

 a preference in promptness, but that I wanted to 

 make sure that there would be no backsliding. 

 Which fact may or may not interest you.

association on hand to explain the 

 workings of the system. 



Since the first meeting practically all 

 the other members of the association 

 have agreed to come into the plans for 

 the flower show. Committees have been 

 appointed to work out the details and 

 to follow up the preliminary plans for 

 this part of the fair. In order to com- 

 plete final arrangements for this display, 



another meeting of the association will 

 he held in Raleigh during July. This is 

 the regular annual meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Association, which was originally 

 scheduled for another place in the 

 state. But it has been decided to change 

 the meeting place to Raleigh, in order 

 that all the florists may have the oppor- 

 tunity of helping in this work.
