All florists' organizations should make it a point to get behind Hospital day, May 12. Kenienibor the mothers in the hospitals. Adopt some plan of cooperation that will encourage this day. While the day at present comes at an inopportune time, being so near Moth- ers ' day, plans are now under way, and progressing favorably, to induce the hospital association to postpone Hos- pital day to some time in June. I be- lieve that with the right kind of ag- gressive work along this line, this can be brought about next year. Hospital day lends itself to sentiment to an unusual degree. It has the same qualities that Mothers' day has and, if promoted by the florists, can be made another big holiday. For this reason, it is urged that all florists and florists' organizations do what they can to cooperate this year, in order to hold the interest of the pub- lic, 80 that we can make something out of the day, if it is postponed until June next year.

If all florists would try to do it right, they would soon see that it would pay to grow less and bet- ter stock. I have been a grower and foreman for eighteen years and have found that a great many florists try to produce too much .stock, with as little help as possi- ble, with the result that the stock is neglected and the quality is resultantly inferior. For more than a year I have been chief gardener at the National Military Home, at Danville, 111., and I have had a greater chance to do things right, to my way of thinking, than ever l)efore. And I am proud of my success in growing, both in quantity and qual- ity. Surprising have been the quality and quantity of roses from 1-year-old plants. And for sweet peas
