The Florists' RevJew 



49 



Men who try to do soniething and fail are 

 infinitely better than men who try to do nothing 

 and succeed. When Daniel Webster came up 

 before the Bar Association for his legal examina- 

 tion he was told to go back and study — that he 

 didn't know his lessons. * He replied that he 

 thought the best way to learn law was to prac- 

 tice it. He was finally admitted, and proved to 

 be one of the greatest lawyers and statesmen the 

 world has ever known. It is practice, after all, 

 that makes perfect. The same principle applies 

 to the lily growing business. Some florists have 

 bad results and get cold feet. You would not 

 quit business just because a customer failed to 

 pay you — no, you would keep right on working 

 that much harder, to make up. Same in lily 

 growing — if you don't succeed at first try' again 

 — and be sure and try harder. Perhaps you 

 don't know how to treat lilies — ask, if you are 

 not sure. But keep right on, plant more, work
