NOVEMBER 9 



THE LAWSON CARNATION. 



The introduction of thi Mrs. Thom- 

 as W. Lawson carnation is an event 

 of some little importance to the trade. 

 Thar it is one of the most remarkable 

 new varieties ever produced, all the 

 experts agree, and the attempt of 

 other carnation growers to buy the 

 stock from the originator resulted in 

 giving a flood of publicity to its mer- 

 it:- through the medium of the daily 

 press. 



Probably the name of no other tar- 

 nation is now so generally known 

 throughout the length and breadth of 

 the land, and there are few florists 

 that have not had inquiries from their 

 customers for the flowers. Everyone 

 in the trade knows that it is a very 

 large pink flower, practically perfect 

 in form, stem, calyx, etc. The vase of 

 blooms shown at the Philadelphia 

 meeting of the American Carnation 

 Society was truly superb. 



The originator of this variety is .Mr. 

 Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., and the va- 

 riety was named for the wife of one 

 of the wealthy men of Boston, who 

 has taken a loving interest in the wel- 

 fare of the superb carnation with 

 which his name is identified. 



STATE INSPECTION. 



Having had trouble over shipments 

 of plants sent to states which had 

 scale laws in force, the Morris Floral 

 Co., Morris, 111., arranged with the 

 State Entomologist to inspect their 

 stock of plants, and they now have a 

 printed certificate of inspection which 

 they attach to each box containing 

 plants. 



They had to pay the expenses of 

 the inspector on his trip to their place 

 and for the printing of the certificates, 

 but in their case the whole cost did 

 not exceed $10.00, and they consider 

 the amount well expended in view of 

 the immunity from vexatious delay in 

 connection with shipments of plants 

 that often occur where the certificate 

 of inspection is not used. 



S. A. Forbes, State Entomologist, 

 Urbana, 111., is the proper official for 

 Illinois shippers to apply to for inspec- 

 tion.

LOUISVILLE, K.Y.— The Kentucky 

 Tobacco Product Co. has purchased 

 the business of the Louisville Spirit 

 Cured Tobacco Co., makers of the 

 Rose Leaf extract of tobacco. The of- 

 ficers of the old company will occupy 

 similar positions in the management 

 of the new one, and the general scope 

 of the business of the old company 

 will be greatly widened.
