The Weekly Florists" Review. 



OCTOBEB 19, 1911. 



NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



That the Chamber of Commerce and 

 the Business Men 's Association ought 

 to act in behalf of the merchants who 

 sell flowers, to prevent Yale University 

 from cutting into their trade, was the 

 statement of Chapel street florists con- 

 cerning the announced plan of the 

 Yale bureau of sel^-help to open a 

 flower shop on the campus. "If the 

 . university, ' ' said one florist, ' ' is going 

 into a general retail business, then it 

 is about time the merchants of the 

 city took the matter up to see what 

 they can do about it." 



Charles Munro e^cpressed his opinion 

 as follows: "I don't see how they can 

 make a success of it anyway, but we 

 have our Chamber of Commerce to at- 

 tend to such affairs in our behalf and 

 I think that organization ought to 

 look into this matter. If the univer- 

 sity is going to enter a general retail 

 business it seems to me it is high time 

 the tax-paying merchants of the city 

 have something to say about it. The 

 university pays no taxes and we do 

 and we ought to be entitled to scTme 

 protection. They will not make a suc- 

 cess of their flower shop, in my opinion. 

 Flowers are perishable, extremely so, 

 and it takes expert knowledge to make 

 a profit out of the business. If the 

 students who are behind this propo- 

 sition are poor now, they will be poorer 

 in six months, for what they make off 

 one student they lose on another." 



S. H. Moore said: "The percentage 

 of flower-buying students is smkll. This 

 shop will have to depend for its patron- 

 age on the students. I don't see where 

 it can get any other business. I think 

 the scheme might be a success if proper- 

 ly handled, but I do not see how green 

 men — that is, men of no knowledge of 

 the business — can conduct it on a pay- 

 ing basis. I think the Business Men's 

 Association might do wAl to inquire 

 into the matter." 



COLORADO SPBINOS, COLO. 



The Florists had a narrow escape in 

 their latest match with the Gardeners' 

 team, winning by five points. The 

 final score read: Florists, 1,630; Gar- 

 deners, 1,625. At the end of the first 

 match, the Gardeners led by eight 

 points. In the second half the Florists 

 picked up, and, through the strong 

 bowling of Douglas, won out. E. John- 

 son made the best showing for the 

 Gardeners. Here are the scores:
