GIANT PANSY ^ 

 The KENILWORTH Strain 



must not be compared with the fllmBj Trlmar- 

 deau ; It is much larger and of good substance. 

 The immense flowers of 3^ to 4 inches are of 

 perfect form ; every tint and shade Is produced 

 in striking combinations and endless variations 

 of beautiful colors and markings ; it is the result 

 of years of selections. The stock plants are 

 selected from many thousands of plants grown 

 for market. It is rich with shades of brown, 

 bronze, red, mahogany and numerous others.

FLORISTS' REVIEW 



When Writing Advertisers 



The other day I visited a small 

 town not far from New York to see 

 what business might be done. I 

 concluded to visit the oldest estab- 

 lishment first, and when I arrived 

 there an old, disgruntled disbudder 

 came out of the house cleaning his 

 teeth via the vacuum method, said 

 he had bought for twenty years from 

 one house and calculated they were 

 good enough for him ; besides, he 

 used Callas since the Harrisii had 

 gone wrong. I asked him if any 

 other florist in town grew bulbs, and 

 he said there was only one other 

 and he was a young snip who knew 

 nothing about the business, and 

 used no lilies that he knew of. So, 

 of course, I knew the young fellow 

 must be of some account, since the 

 old man had belittled him. Sure 

 enough, I found the young fellow 

 up and busy. He had more busi- 

 ness about him in a minute than 

 the old man had in a day, and after 

 a five-minute conversation he 

 bought what he needed and went 

 about his work. Before I left I 

 asked him about the old man and 

 was told that he was a reliable 

 man, who bought some bulbs, and 

 was advised to see him, I thought 

 to myself, "What a difference in 

 humanity and between the old and 

 the young in business ! " but said 

 nothing. The old fellow is a throw- 

 back from the Black Ages — and 

 will never amount to a row of pins. 

 The Good Shepherd knows we don't 

 want any Horseshoe Brand boxes 

 around his back yard, but the 

 younger man we want and we will 

 keep his trade, for he is worthy of 

 respect and business confidence. — 

 Ward.
