No War Profits
For the Florist

While no one could fail to appreciate the
kindness and the desire to be Of service
which have inspired the florists to carry on
this work. it might not occur to the casual
reader that to make this Offering day after
day entails goodly amount Of sacrifice as
well. For be it known the florist business
is of those which has been hit the hardest
by the changed conditions brought about by
the war. Flowers are luxury and they are
one of the first to be cut out when a curtail-
ment of expenses becomes necessary. Fuel
conditions, too, have deepened the injury, for
the New York florists have not always been
able to get enough. flowers even to fill the
orders that are received. 1t looks as if the
fuel situation, so far as the greenhouses are
concerned, would be no better the coming
winter, SO that the outlook for better times
is not very encouraging.

The Columbia Base Hospital was our des-

one OF the surgeons, a major, who acted as

there were miles of them)
There were LOO patients in the hospital

flowers there were still hundreds left. and
these were made into big bouquets to be placed
on the table in the centre of the ward. co that
when we finally left the hospital grounds with
an empty truck and very tired feet, every one

bloom.
And did the men enjoy the flowers? Ask
