A few days ago I had occasion to visit the city cemetery to place a pot plant on the section in which the mother of a friend of mine had recently been buried. Directly across a small walk there was a new grave literally covered with de- signs, as the funeral had only been a few days previous to my visit there. I thought I had run into a millinery shop. I had never seen so many arti- ficial flowers before in all my life. And I'm not ashamed to say that I've never seen maiiy artificial flowers in my life, either, because I'm a florist and not a milliner; so I've never let artificial flowers concern me much. I got an idea, when I saw all those artificial flowers at a prominent citizen's funeral, which I believe will be of in- terest to the florists' trade at large. Before I go further I want to say that ?one of the relatives of the person, in a conversation with me, said, "I consider it an outrage and a grand slam on the florist. I know that the persons who ordered the several designs did not or- der artificial flowers, and had they known that they were going to get them, would rather not have sent anything at ; There are occasions that call for ar- tificial flowers, but at a funeral, per- sonally, I consider them out of place. Of course, there are persons who prefer them, but those persons are few and usually their preference is based upon the fact that the body is going to be shipped, or something of the kind. The majority of ])eoi)le, however, expect to receive natural flowers, beautiful and fragrant, when „they order and will be greatly disappointed if they don't get them. "Say It with Flowe
