Spring is here and Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday that he has a stock that's ready to bloom.

It's time to buy 1-800-Flowers.com(FLWS Quote), he said, even though it sounds like the kind of bad dot-com that would have been a "house of pain" six or seven years ago.

But he said that the stock is ready to break out because it's the "anti-Amazon.com," meaning that "unlike Amazon(AMZN Quote), this company makes massive amounts of money on the Web."

It's a multi-part story, he said, and the first is that the company has a smart model.

It's a one-stop shopping place for all of your gift, candy and floral needs, and half of their orders originate on the Web, he said. Plus, the company has a database with over 20 million customers.

There are some traditional gender stereotypes at work here, Cramer added, referring to the fact that a lot of men need a way to say "I'm sorry," but they don't have a clue what to do. They think flowers might be good, and candy would be good too, so he said that 1-800 Flowers gives them a way to buy all of their apology goods in one spot.

The company has expanded via smart acquisitions, he said, including candy company Fanny May Confections for $80 million.

Thanks to a major court decision, you can also pick up wine along with the chocolate and the flowers to really be forgiven, he said.

Up until now, a lot of states had restrictions on shipping wine across state lines. But the Supreme Court said it's time to do away with these fees, Cramer said.

He believes that these wine sales will be good for growth, and that analysts haven't factored in this new development and subsequent revenue stream.
