Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weekly Florists' Review, Vol. 6: May 31, 1900 We can all agree that there are very few things more beautiful and more impressive than a fine palm. It would be wrong to suggest anything that would in any way decrease their use. But every florist cannot afford to use them in quantity, and if they could the price would not justify them. To day there are many prominent florists who pack a house full of fine palms on the least excuse. They spoil the trade, ruin their plants, and let us add it is done generally by those who have not paid for the plants. Of course just at present it might do your plants good and also advertise your shop to take them out once in a while for an airing, but customers can easily be spoiled. Where massive work is required the woods just now abound with fine green stuff. Maple and oak foliage makes a very effective back ground to finer' greens or flowers. Leave sickly smelling foliage and flowers out of your decorations, for they become insufferable in a hot room.
