Those who have not been successful 

 in growing the Marquis, and those who 

 have, should, if possible, make a trip 

 to see this grand carnation. At this 

 time of writing (October 5) the plants 

 are loaded with bud and bloom of large 

 size and perfect color, thus disproving the 

 assertion made that this is a late bloom- 

 er. Mr. Marquisee is of the opinion 

 that wherever proper conditions prevail 

 this variety cannot fail to give satis- 

 faction. A good, stiff rose soil is best 

 suited for it, cannot be too heavy, night 

 temperature 48 to 50 degrees. It can 

 be asserted with every kind of confi- 

 dence that there is not a grander pink 

 on the market today, and to see half 

 a dozen houses filled with vigorous 

 stock, averaging eighteen flowering 

 shoots to each plant, should make us 

 feel like looking further into the subject 

 before discarding this valuable variety. 

 William Matthews, of Utica, and Alfred 

 Patrick, of Auburn, are amongst those 

 nearby who are equally successful. We 

 are emphatic in making this note, as so 

 many have spoken disparagingly of a 

 variety which it is very evident is a 

 most profitable one when properly han- 

 dled. It is a grand consort to the beau- 

 tiful Lawson. 



The new white. Empire State, is look- 

 ing in splendid shape, full of promise. 

 Plants have all been pinched back for 

 stock purposes. There will be one or 

 two seedlings shown at the forthcoming 

 carnation convention that will make the 

 name of our genial friend yet more 

 famous. W. M. 



PACKING AND SHIPPING LETTUCE. 



Referring to the question of No. 404, 

 would say we raise and ship Grand 

 Rapids lettuce in quantity far the Cin- 

 cinnati market. We raise it in solid 

 beds. We pack it in sugar barrels in 

 the manner advised by Mr. Totty, ex- 

 cept that we cut it close to the ground, 

 not leaving any roots on. We pack from 

 75 to 90 lbs. in a barrel and cover with 

 clean burlap, and never fail to get the 

 top of the market.

CARNATION LILLIAN POND. 



Some blooms of this new white car- 

 nation recently shown in Chicago for 

 Mr. Renter, the introducer, by Mr. A. 

 T. Boddington, made a very favorable 

 impression. The blooms are of extra 

 good size, fine, clear white, very frag- 

 rant and with good long stems. Such 

 fancy blooms thus early in the season 

 certainly speak well for the variety. 



Stillwater, Minn. — Frank Berry, 

 the florist, has added a nursery depart- 

 ment to his business. He has pur- 

 chased ten acres of land, which will
