In these days of reconstruction I would like to suggest the use of air- planes in getting out shipments of flow- ers to the big markets in record time. Flower shipments at the holidays are valuable and perishable, but not heavy. Flowers worth $1,000 could easily be rushed into Chicago in an airplane in less time than otherwise. In the case of places where transportation facilities are not adequate, airplanes would be a great help. Harry A. Dubuis. HOLI

I would sooner make my money out of a thousand customers than out of a few, even if I did the same amount of business. Pub- licity is what I want, and the more customers I have, the more I get talked about; and that means more business. There is a great future for the live florists if they will only pull together and fill every order they get, large or small. They mean more orders later, if they are filled satisfactorily. A satis- fied customer is the florist's best asset. A happy Christmas to all. A. B. King. CHAYOTE. I am trying out a vine new to most florists. Last spring I saw chayote vine seeds advertised at 30 cents each. I sent for one and planted it according to directions. Later I shifted it into a 50-pound tub and when it commenced to send out shoots I built a trellis six feet high and three feet wide at the top for it.
