tion. One retail mail order catalogue, to 

 our knowledge, has endeavored to dis- 

 courage correspondence by mentioning a 

 charge of 10 cents for each written letter 

 in reply to any particular inquiry. 



Girl labor is gradually being intro- 

 duced in the growing, labeling and pack- 

 ing of roses and other plants at the vari- 

 ous greenhouses, and by reason of their 

 faithfulness, attentiveness, deftness of 

 hand and aptness to learn, they are con- 

 ceded to be preferable to boys or young 

 men for many classes of work. 



The Simple Life. 



The growers of roses by the own-root, 

 summer propagation method are inclined 

 to take issue with the cut flower houses 

 following the method of propagating in 

 the winter from forced and practically 

 exhausted stock. It is argued that it is 

 against the laws of nature to propagate 

 in the non-growing season, when such 

 vegetation should naturally be taking a 

 rest, just the same as living beings re- 

 quire the rest of night after a day of 

 activity. And it is claimed that stock 

 forced for blooms for a year or two of 

 constant strain must naturally be lacking 

 in the vitality of blood necessary to make 

 a vigorous and healthy offspring; that in 

 the long run the quite small plant propa- 

 gated at the natural time from wood 

 taken from a parent in the prime of its 

 vigor will win out over its competitor 

 propagated at an unnatural time from 

 constantly forced and exhausted stock. 



In other words, it is held that the 

 florist about to plant for cut roses, in- 

 stead of propagating from his own stock 

 or purchasing say 3-inch pot roses from 

 another cut flower house, had better buy 

 and take a new start with fresh and vig- 

 orous and naturally grown plants from 

 2^ -inch or even 2- inch pots. To meet
