The Publicity Campaign. 



Charles Henry Fox, chairman of the 

 publicity committee of the Retail Flo- 

 rists' Association, is actively pushing 

 educational flower and plant notices in 

 the daily papers. The advantages of 

 .flowers as gifts, what to take honie, 

 ^ what to send "her," the proper thing 

 for a blonde, the proper thing for a 

 brunette, and other matters of moment 

 are carefully expounded. The latest 

 eflfort is on Mothers' day. The attempt 

 is being made to divert attention from 

 the white carnation. It is sagely urged 



that everybody's mother is not for 

 white carnations, so mother's favorite 

 flower, whatever that may be, is much 

 more appropriate to wear. Of course, 

 if successful, this effort will remove 

 professional heart-burnings that come 

 from unfilled orders and advanced prices 

 due to everybody wanting ever so many 

 more white carnations than anybody 

 can possibly supply. 



Various Notes. 



The Phipps Institute awarded its con- 

 tract for outdoor decorations at Seventh 

 and Lombard streets May 2 to the Rob- 

 ert Craig Co. The work, which must 

 be completed by May 10, includes put- 

 ting the grounds in order, planting 



evergreens, etc., and filling 100 window 

 boxes. 



Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, 

 Pa., retain their position in the van 

 by being the first to install cars and 

 track, with switch and turntable, for 

 filling greenhouses with soil. 



Bernard Eschner writes from Ham- 

 burg, Germany, that the city is full of 

 gnap and ginger (sweet words to the 

 small boy when reversed), but lacking 

 in flower stores. Mr. Eschner 's ad- 

 vance novelties are already arriving 

 at the establishment of the M. Rice Co. 



Recent visitors include Mrs. L. H. 

 Dundore Moore, of Lancaster, Fa., who 

 coined the phrase, "The house of Bay-
