“KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL” 
Twenty-two other nations besides the United States are now engaged in war 
against the enemy. Almost every American is in sympathy with the aims and 
objects set forth ‘by President Wilson. We must do that which will most help to 
obtain those objects, and in order to do our utmost every man and woman must 
maintain physical health, mental poise, and a spirit which shall rise above discour- 
agement and maintain loyalty to high purpose. 
Flowers help to give health and poise, both physical and mental. There is not 
a soul in this United States who does not need flowers. There are many who do 
not know they need them, but there are none who will not be the better for them. 
We speak from experience and an actual knowledge of results and not in hospitals 
only. Wherever you go, you find that individuals capable of highest accomplish- 
ments, are those most susceptible, as a rule, to having their spirits refreshed and 
strengthened by the influence of real beauty. 
We feel it our duty to urge patriots everywhere to keep the home flowers bloom- 
ing. Barbarism is an ugly thing. Civilization loves beauty. Let us strive to main- 
tain that civilization and keep America beautiful. Yours in the service,
