ABOUT PROHIBITIVE PRICES. 



Editor HORTICIJLTTJKE, 



Dear Sir: 



In your Editorial "Inexcusable Now" 

 in issue of March 29, you state probably 

 the facts regarding retail prices on 

 violets, but just the same, we had to 

 pay $1.25 per 100 for violets and $6 

 per 100 for carnations from one of your 

 commission houses, and could have 

 moved a lot of these, if the price could 

 have been reasonable. The week be- 

 fore 7.5 to 85 cents for violets, $3 for 

 carnations. Now the class of people 

 that on special occasions would treat 

 themselves to a few flowers are obliged 

 to go without, because these people 

 shove the price up. I don't mean that 

 I like to sell cheap, but would like to 

 be able to sell at a price that people 

 would buy freely and often.

VERMONT'S "WIZARD." 



The Montpelier Journal tells of a 

 Vermont florist who "is developing 

 into a horticultural wizard and bids 

 fair to rival the famous Luther Bur- 

 bank in the direction of plant life. His 

 very latest achievement is to place on

the market green — yes, green — carna- 

 tions for St. Patrick's day. No, the 

 flowers were not dipped in green 

 paint, or touched up with a brush, but 

 were simply made to grow that way. 

 They are white blossoms variegated in 

 green, are beauties and ought to make 

 their producers amazingly popular 

 with the wearers of the green. Some 

 mysterious treatment of the roots 

 causes the white carnation to take on 

 this appearance." 



We shall soon need a special direc- 

 tory of wizards. They're springing up 

 all around.
