Flower Slogan Pedigree Hazy The dispute for credit for famous sayings i* not fought only over the bques of farnoua men centuries de?di, there i* many a bitter battle being fought over contemporary *ayings Home of them in court ?u?U for infringement* of copyrighted commercial slogan* and name*.

But far from being an orphan it i* credited with several father*. Thi* i* "Say it With Flowers," the nationally ?dverti*ed slogan of the American florist industry. Some of the men credited with >t are Peter Lindberg, of Rugby, N. D.? Payne Jennings, of Chicago., H. Reeve Darling, of Do* Angeles, Calif., and Major O'Keefe, of Boston, Mass. Durling and Lindberg are florists; Jennings was an advertising representative of the old Metropolitan Magazine, and O'Keefe was formerly in charge of the advertising of the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists, which body has widely publicized the forceful slogan in the last twelve years. However, there seems to be more certainty with regard to the ultimate ancestry of the renowned slogan, at least in the English language. In Thomas Moore's "Language of Flowers," the following lines appear: "Sweet flowers alone can say What passion fears revealing." Of u 11 the thousunds of references to flowers in Knglish literature, an exhaustive investigation presents this as the nearest approach to the present-day slogun. Took His Own Life Lancaster, S.
