COVER MEN PAST & PRESENT 

Perhaps you have wondered about our cover men. Why they were selected, and what they might 
represent. There was little doubt but they were Greenhouse Men, engaged in some form of green- 
house work, but who were they? Employee? Employer? or both? What might they represent? 
We have given you above a brief outline of the lives of these men. They are both Employer and Em- 
ployee. Symbols of our Profession. These men and thousands like them have been the men respon- 
sible for building the foundation of the Flower Industry. These men have been responsible for 
spreading more cheer, the easing of much heart ache, making brighter many Christmas Times and 
many Easters. Hour upon hour of toil and labor, for which they never gave thought, nor expected 
any reward! 
It is to these men, all men of our Profession, especially these men of the Old Guard that we dedicate 
as our Cover Men. They are Symbols of Our Profession, “The Growing of Flowers.”
