To Our Florist Friends— 
The seed you sow in your greenhouse this year will produce flowers and vege- 
tables for which there is a ready market, at good prices and with good pay assured for your credit sales. 
Oh-Boy, if that were only all! It isn't, for we are at war and problems of labor 
and fuel shortages make us all work longer and harder, and stimulate worry about making a crop. 
One redeeming feature is that practically every business man in other lines, 
with whom I talk, has some problems that | wouldn't wish to swap for some of mine. You've noticed that. 
Florists have investigated many ideas to help them through this war period. The 
one that sounds most sensible to me is to make plans as large and with as much enthusiasm as though 
there were no war. Then, trim it down to fit the labor and fuel available. That may mean nothing more in 
some houses than cutting off some operations that are not vital. In others, it may mean shutting off one 
or more houses to bring work into smaller compass with resulting labor and fuel saving. Any of these 
things require courage, for we all like to go on along the familiar road, 
Most important to my mind is that we back up the boys and girls from your 
family and organization who have entered the armed services. If you have any, I'll bet you are doing 
less plain complaining than those who have none in uniform, | hope yours will come back to you safely 
and that all of us will have the courage, common sense and strength to solve our civilian problems. Good 
luck, in this to you. 
We'll do our level best to serve you properly when your orders come in.
