meantime if necessary. This gives the 

 customer a handsome plant through the 

 season, so that the slightly increased 

 charge ma<le necessary by the extra 

 work is cheerfully paid. Mr. Stahl de- 

 rives two benefits from the plan; one is 

 the increase in his business occasioned 

 by satisfied customers, who tell their 

 friends and do not use artificial plants 

 in preference to natural ones; the other 

 is the saving of loss in his stock. 



Christinas Plants. 



The rapid growth in the popularity 

 of plants for the holidays is due to two 

 things, their beauty and their pres- 

 ence. Unlike cut flowers, they can be 

 shown to the juospective buyer in ad- 

 vance of the holidays without danger 

 of tarnish and their price can be safely 

 quoted. The retail florist turns to 

 plants gladly at the holidays; they fur- 

 nish a field for artistic work and at 

 the same time give him a firm anchor 

 to leeward in the event of a tempest 

 on the cut flower sea. 



In the earlier days of plant growing 

 for the Christmas holidays many varie- 

 ties were brou<;ht into bloom that ex- 

 perience proves unsuitable. The azalea, 

 for instance, under present conditions 

 is not at its best when forced so early. 

 There are only two or three varieties 

 of azaleas today that can be flowered 

 so early successfully. Even these com- 

 pare unfavorably with the azaleas at 

 Easter. Their beauty is completely 

 overshadowed by tlie luster of the 

 plants suitable for early flowering. 

 Three plants stand in the front rank, 

 today, of those that will bloom at 

 Christmas, the poinsettia, the begonia 



Extra well made and 

 good medium weight.
