Florists' Review, 



334 Dearborn St., Chicago, 111. 

 Messrs :-- 



Some weeks ago I wrote asking you to stop my advertise- 

 ments, and saying that no answers to my advertisements of 

 Dahlias and Daisies had "been received, though a hundred to my 

 advertisement for help. You replied that something must be 

 the matter with the plant advertisements. There was: It was 

 simply that they were put in too soon, rushing the season. No 

 sooner had I taken them out than replies to them, and orders, 

 came pouring in, and my stock was sold. The buying time had 

 come around. 



I realize now that my advertisements were in the minds 

 of these people, who in their own time, when they wanted the 

 goods, answered them. * . 



I beg your pardon, if I gave the impression that I 

 blamed the Review. it was the fault of too early advertising. 

 By the way, the Review, which you have kindly sent me for some 

 time, you have since this episode discontinued. I would not 

 be without it. Brother Scott's articles are worth a good many 

 times the price. Please enter me as regular subscriber for 

 one year, and add the amount, $1.00, to my account. Kindly 

 send me the three last numbers I have not had. 



■ . , Yours truly, 



I. Merwin Rayner.
