The Florists^ Review

IG thoughts are conducive to big events; a man's world is 

 just as wide as his mind. Dream big dreams ; if they never 



come true, you are ahead of the game even at that, for some- 

 times anticipation is better than realization; so smile, turn on the sunshine, 

 dream and hustle; it is lots of fun (sometimes — not). Beading along theolog- 

 ical lines, as well as in scientific pursuits, we find the greatest successes are 

 preceded by apparent rank failures. The fellow who thinks he can climb 

 the ladder to success without a few backslides and hard knocks, is usually 

 classed with the fellow who does climb by easy stages and washes windows 

 when he reaches the top; he won't put much over on Saint Peter when he 

 dies either — he has to work sometime, somewhere. (Where?) 



It is an old fogy idea, that if a woman is given much liberty in the 

 business world she will immediately break the strength of her moral character 

 and lose her high regard for man. This type would last long enough to turn 

 around and walk out, in a hurry, too. There is no lack of opportunities in all 

 directions, and life would be a terrible struggle without the men; the angels 

 are absolutely indispensable; still, arms' length is a safe distance and, to the 

 fellow venturing any nearer — give him a black eye; a man — a real man — 

 never chances the second treatment. The clinging type of woman is very 

 sweet to dream of, but I feel sorry for the poor "vine" when the storms 

 of reverses and adversity try the strength of the husky support, and what an 

 awakening when we discover women were made for helpmates and not ornaments! 



I have been hustling at the bulb business for the past nine years and am still working on my first "million." 

 I may reach there if I sell enough Gladioli for spring. However, a large shipment of Speciosum lilies and 

 Giganteum has arrived from the jeweler; they are gilt edged; also Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride Gladioli 

 from my private estate in Holland (I can tell a few, too). The best way to know what I can do is to try 

 me with an order. I am quoting on Paper White for fall, 1913, from one dozen to one hundred thousand cases.

New crop should never be used for January forcing, as it does not force easily or »ive the 

 requisite amount of foliage so early in the season. Cold storage Valley should always be used for 

 January forcing.
