The introduction of these grand new

the advent of these tine llowtr.- imh hi 

 small cities, has boomed up the eania- 

 liim to the extent that even the price 

 <if older sorts is doubled, to the jirntlt 

 <>i all. And as we all reap something 

 from this state we should do our part to 

 keep this good tide moving and the way 

 to do so is to encourage our introdneers 

 liy testing their qualities and it will be 

 profitable in the end. 



To sum up the ease, I would say in 

 large businesses buy any new varieties 

 tha't are thought well of in general, still 

 growing the older sorts. To those \\ itli 

 smaller businesses, buy two or three va- 

 lii'ties of what are considered promis- 

 ing, in fair quantities, and introduce 

 llu-m yourself. 



In Canada we are rather apt to err 

 ill the penny wise and pound foolish 

 way; we say it will not pay us to go 

 here and there, but, gentlemen, it pays 

 every time you go away from home, for 

 the inexpensive chances that are now 

 given to attend carnation conventions 

 and shows leave no excuse, and it is 

 just at these places that you learn what 

 you want to buy for profit. There is 

 not a doubt in my mind that if todaj we 



were to wipe out tlie results of the S. 

 A. ¥. and carnation societies and shows 

 for the last ten years, carnations would 

 be selling all round for a much lower 

 li;jiiri' and in smaller quantities than 

 liny :uo today. Therefore, we should 

 iiilo' advantage of any meeting or show 

 wheie we can gain points on the carna- 

 tion and so avoid the irritating feeling 

 that our neighbors are getting more 

 money out of the divine flower than we 



The great advantage of having car- 

 nations of the newest type for use in 

 decorating rooms is their large bold 

 flowers and long stems, filling a position 

 the older varieties could not. Again, in 

 design work one can easily afford to pay 

 doulde price for flowers of the size of 

 Al \Vlaite Cloud. Once more the range 

 in shades of color given us in the new 

 ones has given us a much larger scope 

 in pleasing our patrons, and if these are 

 not enough to persuade vou to buy some 

 1901ers, think of the 'profit to your 

 health and pleasure of watching a bed of 

 Lawson flowers grow larger and larger 

 until they mature and then sell faster 

 than they come.

A Visit to Paul Richwagen's. 



It was unfortimate that I rang in a 

 hope for the acceleration of Paul Rich- 

 wagen's aster business in last issue. As 

 a result he has been cutting 13,000. per 

 day ever since, and has damaged our own 

 business as well as others thereby. In 

 order to put a damper on them and to
