H We have our metal work to a point where it rivals nature. We can 

 give you a wreath made of any variety of flower or foliage, which, for 

 form, color, grace, wifh startle you by its wonderful resemblance to a 

 wreath made of natural flowers and greens. We can make you any- 

 thing in metal in our own factory. When you have once tried them, 

 you will always use them where a lasting design is needed.

"gether, each one helping the other, 

 pointing out when and where things 

 could be improved and having many 

 things considered and talked over that 

 otherwise would never come up. 



Then, again, there are times when a 

 grower thinks he knows better than the 

 wholesaler when he should send his 

 stock in. This is a great mistake, as 

 the commission man's business is to 

 know when the goods should be sent in 

 and when there should be the best mar- 

 ket for them. Of course, sometimes his 

 judgment is at fault and things do not 

 work out just as he has expected, but on 

 the whole he is certainly in a better po- 

 sition to make the decision than the 

 grower. And when the grower does not 

 have confidence enough in his commis- 

 sion man to be willing to abide by his 

 decisions in these matters and persists 

 in sending in his stock as he thinks best, 

 then he had better send his stock to 

 some other market, or else try to get a 

 little confidence from some of his neigh- 

 bers who do back up their commission 

 men, feeling that it is the only way to 

 do in sending stock to any wholesaler. 

 More than once we have instructed our 

 growers to send in their stock on a cer- 

 tain day or days and then have -had 

 them disregard these instructions and 

 send in the stock when they thought 

 best, and in such cases the flowers have 

 probably gotten in too late to get the 

 benefit of the best market. 



Early Shipper Beaps Profit. 



The wholesale markets are coming 

 more and more each year to do their 

 business early in the morning and this 

 brings us to another important point. 

 Get your stock in early in the day, for 

 the man who has his shipments in early 

 is the man who is going to have his 

 flowers sold first. There is no doubt 

 about this. If you wish the best results 

 you will have to conform to these con- 

 ditions, eyen if it does mean starting 

 your day's work an hour or two earlier. 

 The old saying that "the early bird 

 catches the worm ' ' is only too true in 

 this case. 



I would like also to speak of the 

 tendency which some growers have to
