The War Time Florist 
Requiring few or no essential priorities and with women 
so well adapted to much greenhouse work, we florists 
are particularly fortunate. Not only can we carry on 
without interfering with the war effort, but our product 
is needed for its morale building value. And don’t for- 
get this:—there will be an active demand for every 
good plant or flower you can produce throughout the 
duration. And along with our product, don’t overlook 
the demand and need for vegetable plants; some space 
in tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, etc., will be a food con- 
tribution to our country and a profit to us. We con- 
tinue well equipped to supply you with seeds, plants
