A STATEMENT. 



Mr. Isaac A. Passniorc. West Chester, 

 Pa., sends us the following statement re- 

 garding his new carnations: 



"The carnation Dor.i. as juivprtisod b.v me. has 

 for some unknown reiison failed to eome up to 

 the standard for liei'pinp tile past month, and 

 I feel that while it is stoadil.v improving, it is 

 not as it now stands what I felt it was. .\11 

 other points are above the average, but without 

 that a flower is worthless. Last winter Mr. 

 Mutt, of .S. S. Pennoeli's. reported that they 

 used it in filling orders for Florida and it carried 

 well. I will root but few more than I wish to 

 tr.v again, but will furnish pips if desired as ad- 

 vertised. 



"Marian is proving all I elaimed for it. It is 

 an improvement over Hill, Does business; from 

 early to late and does not burst the ealvx. " 



I ENCLOSE subscriptions for two em- 

 ployes as well as a renewal ot my own. 

 .1 am sure that I will get the benefit of 

 it if they read your valuable paper. 



Cleveland, O. H. A. Hart.
