THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



FOR EASTER 



TtWO-TONE LONDON BASKETS 



P~ The best Easter novelty. The two-tone effect improves the appearance of plants and 

 cut flowers wonderfully. We can two-tone any style of basket. Better tell us to spend 

 $100.00, or $75.00, or $50.00, or $25.00, or $10.00 for baskets for you and let us two-tone 

 some of them.

show windows, the interior store • ar- 

 rangements, the boxes, the delivery, 

 as well as the use of space in the news- 

 papers. He said that the Eetail Flo- 

 rists' Association could retain an ad- 

 vertiser in the same way that it could 

 retain a lawyer, or it would be expen- 

 sive with success problematical. Mr. 

 O'Donnell then leaned forward and, re- 

 marking that there were no reporters 

 present, told his audience how he 

 thought they should set about this pub- 

 licity campaign. His plan was so well 

 received that on motion of Leo Nies- 

 sen a committee was appointed to put 

 it into execution, Mr. O'Donnell re- 

 ceived a hearty ovation. Every mem- 

 ber rose as a mark of respect as he 

 left the meeting. Charles H. Grakelow 

 praised the wholesalers for their unex- 

 celled service and urged closer busi- 

 ness relations with the retailers. Henry 

 C. Herlemann made a plea that all 

 should contribute to the publicity fund. 

 Charles Henry Fox said that advertis- 

 ing is like capital; you must keep 

 adding to it to secure results. Then' 

 the subscription list was opened, the 

 leaders stepping forward first to sign 

 their names. "While the pen goes from 

 hand to hand there is time to glance 

 around the room. The wholesalers are 

 out in force; no lack of progress there. 

 Many of the prominent growers are 

 scattered about the room, quite as many 

 as could be expected at the first meet- 

 ing of a body in which they are inter- 

 ested but to which they cannot belong. 

 The leaders of the retail movement are 

 out almost to a man, but the retail 

 florists as a body make a poor show- 

 ing. There is room for progress here. 

 Mr. O'Donnell probably saw this when 

 he said, "Your progressive men must 

 lead." They are certainly doing so. 

 The meeting was well arranged and 

 well carried through. Results are 

 bound to follow such intelligent effort 

 maintained. 



A Notable Wedding. 



"All the world loves a lover." When 

 the wooing ends happily and it's some- 

 body you know and like, why, your in- 

 terest will be keen. Who is itf Why, 

 it's "Bobby" Shoch. Jolly, hearty

 row, February 14, was wedded to a

Let us be serious though happy in 

 his happiness. Miss Malyon Faulkner 

 was married to Robert Q. Shoch Satur- 

 day, February 22. Miss Faulkner is 

 the sister of Mrs. H. H. Battles and of 

 George 8. Faulkner, the well known re- 

 tail florist. Robert Q. Shoch is one of 

 the five incorporators of the M. Eice Co. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Shoch left the city imme- 

 diately after the wedding. On their 



return next month they will reside at 

 4725 Warrington avenue, West Phila- 

 delphia. 



Bermuda. 



"Harrisii lilies are better grown on 

 the island of Bermuda today than for 

 a long time past. One grower dumped 

 his entire stock of lily bulbs into the 

 sea, rejuvenated the soil, planted it 

 with fresh bulbs, and when I saw it he 

 had a perfect field of lilies just coming
