The Florists' Review

THE SPIRIT OF APPRECIATION 



Is one of the most valuable traits of human nature. Every one of us 

 has more to be thankful for than we realize. I am very thankful to the 

 many prosperous and well established business men who have encour- 

 aged me and placed much confidence in me; am thankful to the many 

 strangers who became friends and gave me many chances in business. 1 

 also am thankful to a few "knockers," for they prove that they are 

 not in my class — they are dead ones and belong to the undertakers, as a 

 last hope. 



Why shouldn't a woman make good in business? If her father, fore- 

 fathers and a few others were successful, she can inherit some of the 

 mental qualities, just as well as to have a nose, eyes or a disposition 

 like father's — but you can't pick cherries off a rose bush. 



Don't connect sympathy with a girl in business, for it never existed. 

 Every man wants a dollar's worth for every one hundred cents he 

 spends. I have to produce the goods just as good as the other fellow's, 

 or I don't like to think of the finish. With nine years of experience 

 and some spunk I ought to know what I can do. The biggest failures 

 are made by those who never try. 



I hav3 Gladstone, Floribunda and Multiflora Spiraea; also Rubrum, Roseum, Album, Auratum and Giganteum 

 Lilies, "planted, grown, weeded, packed and inspected for me by a special brand of Japs." (Oh! what a lie!) 

 But — they are as good as the best. If you doubt it, give me a chance to prove it.
