The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



August 5, 1009. 



You know what hot Weather does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is still in 

 good shape. Big cut ofQfancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.

ceptation of the words, is the worst fel- 

 low in the world for your secretary. If 

 any one asks you to vote for a man be- 

 cause he ' ' needs the money, ' ' vote 

 against that man for that very reason. 

 If you are personally a friend of either 

 of the class of men spoken of above, vote 

 against each of them for that reason 

 also. The friend of the ' ' good fellow ' ' 

 should keep him out of a position where 

 nothing but failure awaits him. The 

 friend of the man who "needs the 

 money ' ' should realize that he can get 

 more money in many easier ways than in 

 this position. There is no easy money to 

 be made in the job, except by taking 

 money for work which one does not do. 



I have enjoyed immensely getting back 

 into harness again and having an active 

 part in the work of the society. I have 

 enjoyed the work itself greatly and if 

 the society wished me to continue in the 

 office would ask no greater pleasure than 

 to go on with that work, but to continue 

 in the office would be to either let my 

 own work suffer or that of the society, 

 or more likely both. 



I know that no man engaged in active 

 business, either as a proprietor or as an 

 employee, can take up this work and 

 carry it out so that the society may 

 achieve the success which is within its 

 grasp, unless he grossly neglects his own 

 business. Therefore, we must look else- 

 where for the ideal man. As a matter 

 of good, sound business policy also, the 

 man selected should be a young man or 

 at least not an old one. We should select 

 our secretary much as we would buy a 

 horse. The old horse may be well broken, 

 sound and strong, and yet we will buy 

 the young one, because there are more 

 years of work in him. In the same way 

 we should select a young man for the 

 office of secretary, with the idea of post- 

 poning as far as possible the expensive 

 process of educating a new man for the 

 job. 



I trust and believe that the members of 

 the society will not take oflfense at my 

 plain speaking, but if they do I shall 

 simply be sorry but not regretful. The 

 thing is of such vital importance and of 

 such great interest to us all that these 

 words had to be spoken.
