Carnation Claribel, to be dissemi- 

 nated in t910 by the Wellsville Cut 

 Flower Company, is described as a 

 fiery scarlet overlaid with a velvety 

 crimson sheen. It is the lesult of a 

 cross between Estelle and Maceo and 

 if in its prime at Christmas. 



Mr. H. Suzuki, who is exceptionally 

 well-informed on lily culture, says that 

 bulbs grown in cool countries, while 

 they make a denser crown and shorter 

 stem, continue longer in good health 



than those from warmer climates. The 

 latter cannot be relied on to be free 

 from the encroachment of disease for 

 more than ten years. 



It isj rumored that an association of 

 New York growers^ — the prime movers 

 of which are some carnation men of 

 Long Island — is projected with the in- 

 tention of marketing their own prod- 

 ucts. A meeting, to be held in New 

 York city this week, has been called, 

 and rose and violet growers have been 

 invited to attend also.
