DENVER, COLO. 



The Denver Florists were away off 

 on their bowling last evening and 

 many of them are ashamed to have 

 the imdermentioned scores published, 

 but we cannot always expect to be 

 making double centuries. 



We would like to hear through 

 The Review the kind of alleys in use 

 by the eastern florists, as the fraterni- 

 ty out here are of the opinion that 

 most of them are regulation alleys. 



Herewith are the scores of the 10th 

 Inst.:

TEN DOLLARS FOR A NAME. 



One of our advertisers offers a prize 

 of ten dollars for a suitable name for 

 an insecticide they have perfected and 

 are about to put on the market gener- 

 ally, in the United States. 



The article is a preparation of nico- 

 tine and wood pulp, with certain 

 chemicals to make it burn slowly, but 

 without flaming when ignited. During 

 the burning the nicotine is liberated 

 and circulates through the green- 

 house, killing all green fly, thrip, etc., 

 the house may contain. This new 

 method of vaporizing nicotine does 

 away with the pans, hot irons, steam 

 blowing and all the trouble, generally 

 incident to the methods now in use. 



The article to be named consists of 

 a thin sheet rolled into a cylinder, so 

 that as sold it looks like a roll of dark 

 brown paper six inches long and five- 

 eighths of an inch in diameter. When 

 used the roll is unwound, coiled loose- 

 ly, lighted with a match and allowed 

 to burn. It "does the rest." 



The Skabcura Dip Company, 23 

 Branch street, St. Louis, will pay ten 

 dollars to any one sending them a 

 name, which the management deems 

 best for this preparation. A name in- 

 dicating the method of using and the 

 work to be performed is what is 

 wanted.
