Can be increased by forethought. . •,- . - « -^-t^ 



A pretty window arrangement, a dainty touch here and there in your shop will off eii attract iieopw 

 and then remind them of a gift they would take or send to someone, and you benefit, rather than th^ 

 confectioner or the fruit dealer. -rr^^f -■ % 



Take our Imperial Chinawaref for instance; some of the pieces artistically filled and arranged 

 are certain to give pleasure and make the best form of advertising, because tjiey will make so strong an 

 impression that people will think of them and of you when they want something, cj)oice. The coat i| 

 small and they are not expensive to fill. v $r. jv . . . ' .'?1*; 



Then there are our tasty little French Handle Baskets and Hampers and many other 

 pretty things that bring business and make your stock look so well. To see means^to waut. „ . ^ -> 



We can help you increase ybur earnings this summer; will you let us try ?

that form of our business that appeals 

 so strongly to outsiders because of its 

 two profits, a little profit on growing 

 and a little profit on selling. Practi- 

 cally it takes a pretty clever man to do 

 this nowadays, as each, growing and 

 selling, has become a branch Tsy itself. 

 There evidently are pretty clever men 

 in the square of glass and outside plant- 

 ing where the firm does business. 



James Griffin, one of the founders, 

 supplies the knowledge and steadiness, 

 while his son, Bruce Griffin, furnishes 

 the modern ideas and enthusiasm illus- 

 trated in the orchid department that is 

 now proving one of the main features 

 in the business. The largest crop of 

 o?Chids ever harvested in Frankford 

 nks brought in last Easter by Griffin 

 Bros. So successful have they been that 

 the maximum returns were gathered 

 from the minimum space devoted to this 

 tropical flower — returns so large that 

 I hesitate to name them, fearing you 

 might say it is just a newspaper story, 

 instead of believing it, as you would 

 were you told by young Mj. Griffin 

 himself. The smaller variety, Cattleya 

 Harrisonia', is coming into bloom now; 

 it is grown for variety's sake and is 

 quite acceptable, because its season 

 comes when the finer cattleyas are out 

 of bloom. The other greenhouses are 

 devoted to carnations, bedding plants, 

 palms, asparagus, asters, chrysanthe- 

 mums and poinsettias. 



Mr. Griffin has a place at Cornwall, 

 where he resides in summer, and is 

 planning to add to his range there. An 

 Overland machine carries him back and 

 forth in a half hour's time. 



Various Notes. 



Godfrey Aschmann reports an excel- 

 lent demand for bedding plants in .Tune. 

 May, Mr. Aschmann says, was too hot 

 and dry to encourage outdoor decora- 

 tions of porch and garden, but June 

 has been most encouraging, the demand 

 lasting throughout the whole month. 



n. F. Littlefield, of Worcester, Mass., 

 was in town recently. 



The Florex Gardens h'ave decided not 

 to discard Beauties, as announced last 

 month. Beauties will be planted, it is 

 now planned, in one or two of the 

 medium sized houses.
