That is where the brainy, ener- getic florist has the advantage over the other sort of florist. Carpet bedding may be too expensive for customers of scanty means, but if the people in a florist's neighborhood are fairly prosperous, if th^ are neither poor nor penurious, there is no good reason why carpet bedding should not be popular and profitable in such a community. Let the florist do the planting in such a manner as will in- crease his reputation and increase the demand for the work, and let him charge such prices as will insure him a satisfactory profit. Many of his pa- trons are so constituted that they will pay the money more willingly if the prices are high enough to prevent Tom, Dick and Harry, the poor neighbors, from presuming to indulge in the same luxury.

Tihe san- tolinas and echeverias, with their whit- ish or neutral colors, are used mostly in the form of borders or edgings or trac- ings, graceful little lines of boundary or demarcation. In no other part of the ^ork, perhaps, is there greater op- portunity for effective display of skill than in the use of these slender, grayish whit^, silvery green or bluish green lines of santplinas or echeverias, which enlivpn and enrich harmonious color
