. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. igi6. The American Florist. 1083. ROBERT BURNS WINDOW IN FENN'S STORE, BOSTON, MASS. florist, "who never sent ; It is best to demand a receipt from the head usher or person in cliarge. The card envelopes, now so generally used, carrying- in addition to the card a written description of the article to which they are attached, a great help in locating a lost bunch, and Is also of assistance to the recipient in thanking' the donor for the proper ?"lovely bunch or basket" as the en- velope reveals. It is much better to give each bunch a box to itself, as if left lying unprotected on a floor in a drafty hall, it very soon presents a passe appearance. In the case of class bunches, they are sometimes ordered to be sent to the home address of the various grad- uates. This is a great mistake. It is much better to have them handed out at the hall where the exercises take place without name, each girl getting as good as her neighbor. To have them named and hunt for each bvmch when possibly two hundred or more graduates arrive almost all at one time, produces great contusion and is not the plan adopted twice by the same florist. Each season some persons will be found raising their voices in protest at this great "waste" of money. The cost of the dresses, the class piris, and other expenses, and then the flowers, which do not probably cost a tithe of the other things, are singled out and made the goat. Girls are girls and flowers are flowers, sweet girl gradu- ates and lovely flowers have always had an affinity for one another and let us hope they always will, notwith- standing the wishes of the carping critics.
