E. C. Amling says he has not the 

 •slightest doubt of the Christmas de- 

 'mand taMng up every good rose and

Oeo. B. Hart. 



Dear Sir:- Hart's Handy Handle makes a basket 

 out of a Hower pot without having to transfer the plant 

 to a basket. We used a lot of them last Easter on aia- 

 leas and other blooming plants, and decorated the pots 

 and bandies, and the effect was the same as a basket, 

 and sold well, as the expense was much less than using 

 baskets and the effect was just as good. They are good 

 any time of year and, unlike baskets, they don't get f bop- 

 worn. Yours truly, Saltik Brothers, Florists.
