deems it wise and to his interests to 

 send his son to an agricultural college, 

 and to take advantage of a university 

 extension course, often brought to his 

 very doors, as has been the case in 

 some western states, why should the 

 horticulturist neglect his opportunity 

 to broaden out and to equip the rising 

 generation with a more thorough knowl- 

 edge of the details of the profession in 

 which they are engaged? 



Our business has grown to gigantic 

 proportions, and the capital invested 

 is beyond the dream of the florist of 

 only a generation ago. Just think of 

 it! Twenty years ago, Boston supplied 

 Chicago with cut flowers. Need I tell 

 you that Chicago no longer depends 

 upon the Hub for her supply of cut 

 flowers? Our progress in a commercial 

 way has indeed been phenomenal, but 

 while we have ample reason to con- 

 gratulate ourselves upon the success 

 achieved, we must at the same time not 

 overlook the fact that our business 

 growth, unless we increase our means 

 and efficiency, cannot possibly continue 

 along successful lines. 



Take the labor problem, for example. 

 Look over any of our trade papers, 

 and you will readily see that on an 

 average there are three good positions 

 open to every competent man. I think 

 I am safe in making the assertion that 

 the man who can manage a greenhouse 

 and can produce the stock possesses an 

 asset far greater than that of the boss 

 who invests his money in the green- 

 houses, and worries about the weekly 

 payroll besides. I will go further, and 

 say that no profession (granted that 

 we are ornamental horticulturists, and 

 not mere tradesmen) is as much in 

 need of professionals as the florists' 

 profession is. Good and competent 

 men, men who know how to do things, 

 are wanted everywhere. Such men are 

 scarce. 



Horticultural Schools. 



But to come to the point. Since we 

 have reached the stage in our com- 

 mercial development beyond which we 

 cannot go unless we increase our means
