resorts. They left in Mr. Berner's new 

 pleasure car. 



Frank Plotz, manager of the Brix 

 Floral Co., reports that the "boss," 

 Adolph Brix, and Mrs. Brix are enjoy- 

 ing themselves in their old home in Ger- 

 many, where they expect to remain 

 through the summer. They will return 

 late in the fall. 



Grimm & Gorly have their usual sum- 

 mer window attraction — a pond with 

 several varieties of fish, the old mill on 

 the hill and the waterfall keeping the 

 mill wheel in motion. Crowds stand for 

 hours daily watching the fish and the 

 workings of the mill. 



A. W. Gumz, one of the youngest 

 among the wholesalers, said that his 

 first season in business was pleasing and 

 that July and the balance of the summer 

 season look good to him. 



Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., 

 got home in time from his eastern motor 

 trip to entertain the members of the 

 Florists' Club July 13. Mr. Denker re- 

 ports a fine trip and says that he vis- 

 ited many in the trade, both going and 

 coming. 



The fine bedding on Government hill, 

 worked out under the supervision of 

 John Moritz, is one of the great at- 

 tractive spots in Forest park. Not- 



The Moral of 

 Riding by Her Station 



Last February I was riding on a little old jerk water train 

 on a New Haven road branch. 



The car was crowded and I was sharing my seat with a 

 matron in a bonnet and wearing a mouth of true Plymouth 

 Rock firmness. 



In came the train man and called, "Bindles Corners I 



Anybody want to get off at Bindles)" 



The Plymouth Rock mouth opened, then closed firmer 



than ever. 



Then she turn«d to me in a semi-confidential way and 



said: "I wanted to get off at Bindles, but 1 just wasn't 



going to tell him my plans." 



So the old dame rode straight past Bindles, on to the next 



station before it da^vned on her that she was the one that 



was losing out, not the brakeman. 



Ever since then, when I talk with a florist who is so mighty 

 careful not to tell anything he knows, for fear he will give 

 away the secrets of his business, I say to myself, this 

 fellow is going right by his station. 



He's losing sight of one of the biggest things in any busi- 

 nesi»— CO-OPERATION and INTERCHANGE. 



A lot of fellows go to the S. A. F. Conventions "just to see 



what's doing." 



They are always on the get. Never give. 



It's a mighty good thing for all of us to remember that the 



closed hand can never receive anything. 



Only those who open up, get new openings. 



Let's try it more on the F. T. D. and see what happens. 



New York's Favorite Flower Shop 



Phone Plaza 8190 Fifth Avenue at S8th Street 



withstanding the long dry spell and hot 

 weather, this is a sight worth seeing. 



P. Patton has started in training for 

 the job of umpiring the baseball game 

 between the wholesalers and retailers at 

 the florists' picnic. 



Everything is in readiness for the flo- 

 rists ' picnic, to be held at Normandy 

 grove July 27. The trustees of the Flo- 

 rists' Club have all the arrangements 



in hand and they say that many valu- 

 able prizes have been donated by mem- 

 bers in the trade. It is not too iate for 

 more; the program goes to ])ress July 20.
