A Word to 



My Friends and Patrons. 2\ 



P««««VS«% 



When I started in the floral business two years ago, I confess it was with fear 

 and trembling. It was a new field in the commercial world for woman to enter. 

 Every one said " don't; " but I did, and I am happy to say that my business success 

 has been assured from the very start I reasoned in this way j that this business is 

 one eminently suited to a woman in every respect, and of all occupations it is the 

 most pleasant and refining, Wherever there is a home in which happiness reigns, 

 flowers are grown, Their fragrant presence is an unfailing indication of culture 

 and comfort, Every one loves flowers and interest in their culture is constantly 

 increasing, For this reason floriculture appeals to the hearts of women the world 

 over, I have to extend my heartiest thanks to the many friends who have made 

 my success possible by their liberal orders, If you keep sending me your orders 

 and speak a good word about my plants to your friends, I am sure that rr>— «•— 

 will become permanent, My endeavor will be to please you in every t 

 if your orders are not filled in a satisfactory manner, kindly write me a 

 that I can remedy the same. Respectfully yours,
