The Florists' Review

any stock that he may have on hand 

 and has no orders for. We readUy trust 

 each other, not only with the delivering 

 of orders, but in cases of necessity will 

 call on a competitor to fill orders for 

 us. I know, further, that it has even 

 reached the point where a few even go 

 so far as to notify their competitors 

 when they are going to make wagon 

 deliveries to some distant or out-of-the- 

 way place, offering to take any other 

 florist's work with them. 



Our local society also has aided in 

 promoting sociability among the mem- 

 bers. It has taught its members that 

 a difference of opinion does not mean 

 that he who differs with us is wrong; 

 rather that he has looked at the same 

 question from a different viewpoint and 

 experience. This coming together of 

 many different minds has been the 

 means of greatly extending our busi- 

 ness, and for this condition I give the 

 credit to the S. A. F. and our state 

 society. 



Everybody Lend a Hand. 



Does it not, therefore, behoove us to 

 bring every man or woman who has 

 any connection with our business, be it 

 as grower, store man, salesman or sales- 

 lady, bookkeeper or stenographer, into 

 our state society? The uniting of these 

 many different interests necessary to 

 the development of our business, and 

 discussion by people well versed in the 

 different branches, is sure to help every 

 member of our craft. 



While many other points could be 

 brought out and enlarged upon, I trust 

 that these few suggestions and thoughts 

 will cause you all to think about the 

 possibilities of the S. A. F. and our 

 own state society and will cause those 

 of you who are not members of the 

 S. A. F. to make application through 

 your state vice-president, and that you 

 will urge those with whom you come 

 into touch and who are eligible to mem- 

 bership in our state society to join us 

 and in that manner help the good thing 

 along.

Berlin, N. Y. — Arthur Cowee recently
