CHAPTER II 



INDOORS AND OUTDOORS ALL THE 

 YEAR 'ROUND 



Things, Both Old and New, to be Done and Thought of by the Busy Man 

 During Each Month of the Year 



IN no other branch of the florist business are there more things to 

 be thought of and more details to be attended to just at the 

 right moment, than in that of those who retail the stock they 

 grow, who supply a part or all of the demand for hardy stock in the 

 city or town in which they are located, and do general gardening 

 and landscape work. All of these so-called side lines go hand in 

 hand, and each month certain things have to be attended to in 

 preparing for the future. 



No matter how much experience we have had or how many 

 years we have been in the harness, every, once in a while we find we 

 have overlooked something which should have been attended to, 

 but wasn't. To help the reader avoid this is the object of this 

 chapter. 



These notes by no means cover anywhere near all that is to be 

 done and thought of each month. In fact, they only hit some of 

 the high spots. But they are guaranteed to keep the average man 

 busy and should prove of value to many, especially those who feel 

 in need of a little reminding and assistance in order to plan and 

 work to the best advantage.
