Field's Florists. 



It is reported on good authority that 

 the ruling powers of Marshall Field & 

 Co., which will ojten flower sections 

 about October 1, are opposed to hand-

 reason the flower sections have been so 

 meagerly equipped, without workroom 

 facilities. Oi course every florist will 

 appreciate the difficulty of cleaning up 

 regularlv on a general line of ctrt flower

purchases without funeral work as a 

 means of using up stock that becomes 

 too open for other sales, but this feature 

 does not appeal to those who have not 

 tried it. Nor does Field plan to handle 

 weddings and decorations, it is said. 



Field's will no doubt sell large quan- 

 tities of cut flowers, but competition of 

 this character will not be calculated to 

 cut into the sales of the regular florists 

 of the better class; rather to educate 

 the public for the benefit of the fullv 

 equipped flori.sts.
