A $30,000 CARNATION! 



During the past week tiie daily 

 press of the country has been print- 

 ing some very remarkable news about 

 the alleged sale of the Mrs. Thos. W. 

 Lawson carnation. First it was re- 

 ported that $6,000 had been offered for 

 the stock, then $7,000, then $15,000, 

 and the last item doubles this and 

 says a sale was made at $30,000. We 

 hope it is all true, for the raiser is 

 surely entitled to a good, round sum, 

 but so many facts are mixed in the 

 reports that we shall await definite 

 information from Mr. Fisher before 

 believing that any sale has been 

 made.
