The Weekly Florists' Review* 



February 22, 1006. 



EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE. 



The other day the owner of a small 

 range of glass came into the Beview 

 office in search of a grower. He said his 

 man was ' * leaving again ' ' and he need- 

 ed another right away. He was given 

 the addresses of a couple of unemployed 

 gardeners and as he was leaving he was 

 asked : 



"Where did you get that Review 

 sticking out of your pocket?" We knew 

 he was not a subscriber, 



"Oh! I picked that up around the 

 market. ' ' 



"Why don't you give us a dollar and 

 have the paper sent regularly?" 



' ' Not much ! I would not have a trade 

 paper around the place. ' ' 



"What do you mean by that? You do 

 not hesitate to call on the paper when 

 you want help." 



* ' No, but if I had it lying around my 

 place my men would answer all the 

 ' help wanted ' advertisements every week 

 and I couldn't keep a grower a fort- 

 night; but I see it somewhere every 

 week — and my men do, too, for every 

 now and then one of them gets a letter 

 from somebody whose *ad' he has an- 

 swered. Then I have to come and bother 

 you to find another in a hurry. ' ' 



This was all the more interesting from 

 the fact that the same morning's mail 

 brought in a letter from a well-known 

 Indiana grower giving a list of eight 

 employees and asking that each be sent 

 the Eeview for 1906. Just the day be- 

 fore a letter had come from one of the 

 largest and best-known growers in Mich- 

 igan as follows: 



"Here is a list of our section men. 

 We think they are all getting the paper, 

 but if not, please put them all on for 

 1906 and send us the bill. ' ' 



And there you have it; one man can 

 never keep, if he can get, a good grower; 

 for the employees of the liberal, pro- 

 gressive, fair-minded men, the seductive 

 want "ad" has no charms. When you 

 want to find the ideal employee, as Pat. 

 O'Mara says, it will be a short hunt if 

 you can spot an ideal employer. 



To my way of thinking, by all odds 

 the best paper. — H. L. Clapp, Eipon, 

 Wis. 



Hese is a money order for $2; please 

 send me two copies of the Review after 

 this. — C. T. GuKNTHEE, Hamburg, N. Y.

 man. — E. D. Kaulback & Son, Maiden,
