PRIMULA POISONING. 



Tell the subscriber who has been pois- 

 oned by Primula obeonica to try good 

 thick sweet cream well and frequently 

 rubbed on as a lotion. This has with us 

 proTed a sovereign remedy. 



J. W. Margkave.

It seems to me that the action of 

 Primula obconiea poisoning is similar to 

 that of the poison ivy. The cure in both 

 cases, as far as my experience goes, is 

 a free application of tincture of blood- 

 loot. Apply the tincture with a sponge 

 or clean cloth to the parts affected. I 

 have known of several cures by this tinct- 

 ure where the poisoning has been caused 

 by either the ivy or the primula. I 

 would like to know the result of this 

 treatment in the case referred to (if the 

 patient sees fit to try it), either by letter 

 or through the Florists' Review.

I see one of 3'our subscribers is suffer- 

 ing from Primula obconiea poisoning. I 

 was similarly affected, though not to the 

 same extent. A few applications of per- 

 oxide of hydrogen gave me relief.

During the past month trade has been 

 steady, and, comparing it with the same 

 month of a year ago, there is a consid- 

 erable advance. With the resorters be- 

 ginning to return and the Elks' Street 

 Carnival, which continued for a week, 

 the last part of the month was quite 

 lively. 



Boses from young stock are plentiful 

 and of a high grade, the demand for 

 Beauties being quite brisk. 



Carnation planting is just about fin- 

 ished. The plants are strong and prom- 

 ise a good cut in the near future. G. 

 Van Bochove & Bro. are already cutting 

 some fine blooms from their earlier 

 planted houses. 



Mums are looking well, and from pres- 

 ent appearances are likely to be early. 



We are having delightful fall weather.

 Chicago, has been a visitor for a week.
