A florist who is a German does not think the English names of plants any easier than Latin ones, and even the English names used in florists' work worry him considerably. He thinks Dutch names might be adopted with great advantage by those who think easy names a great desideratum. For instance, he thinks the common phrase, " Florists' Supplies," a terrible word for any one to pronounce, and he would substitute for this, Garten-werkzengfabrik. While the subject of short and easy names is up, this simple word may be worth considering.
