AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



Carnations Registered. 



The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 

 III., have registered the name Chicago 

 to be applied to a red sport from Mrs. 

 Geo. M. Bradt. The sport is a bril- 

 liant scarlet in color, rather larger 

 than Mrs. Bradt, and having sported 

 into a stronger color it has a stronger 

 growth and constitution than the orig- 

 inal. 



It would be well for all carnation 

 growers to note the name and if they 

 have any of this sport on their places 

 to apply the name "Chicago" to them 

 and not have the confusion that is at 

 present existing among the numerous 

 scarlet sports of Tidal Wave. 



In the coming proceedings of the 

 society will be issued a complete list 

 of all named carnations to date as 

 far as practical; separate copies of 

 this list will be run off and can be 

 had upon application to the secretary. 

 This list will be suplemented every 

 year and revised every three or five 

 years as the case may require. It 

 should be the pride of introducers to 

 have this list as complete as possible, 

 and they can easily have it complete 

 if they will render the secretary the 

 proper support by registering the 

 nanie of a variety as soon as they have 

 decided to use the name in a com- 

 mercial way.

Business is quite dull since Lent 

 started. The weather is perfect, 

 bringing along all flowering stock in 

 good shape for Easter. 



Charles Baker's store and green- 

 houses are a blaze of color. Azaleas, 

 Harrisii lilies, and everything in the 

 shape of flowers are in his windows. 

 He has just fitted up his store with 

 electric lights. His son Frank Baker 

 has been elected alderman from his 

 ward. 



There is prospect of a shortage on 

 Easter lilies, so many of them coming 

 bad that it keeps the ordinary florist 

 guessing whether he is going to have 

 enough to go around or not. 



Burglars recently visited the green- 

 houses of Mr. C. F. Seltzer and carried 

 off a miscellaneous lot of goods, in- 

 cluding some bulbs and seeds, the lat- 

 ter having been just received. The 

 nerve of the rascal was shown by his 

 stopping to drink a bottle of beer that 

 he found in the ice box. C. J. 



NEVADA. — Generally speaking, the 

 signature of a minor to a contract does 

 not make it binding, but there are 

 qualified exceptions and the laws of 

 the states vary somewhat. You had 

 best consult an attorney familiar with 

 the law in your state. 



WASHIN'GTON, PA.— Lloyd S^ar- 

 tout, the florist, is erecting two new 

 greenhouses, one 22x146 for roses, and 

 the other 30x80 for carnations. 



Jadoo Fibre 

 and Jadoo Liquid 



The repeat orders that we are daily receiving 

 from GROWERS, FLORISTS and SEEDSMEN are 

 very gratifying and most convincing as to the com- 

 mercial value of our products. 



"We want every GROWER and FLORIST to 

 try JADOO FIBRE and JADOO LIQUID, and form 

 his opinion as to their merits from his own experience.
