trade. Bulbous flowers range in. the 

 same category. I-et our sales-people 

 awake to the fact that variety creates 

 appetite and that only through this 

 appetite-creating system has the pres- 

 ent high standing of our trade been 

 achieved. Be original and go outside 

 the line of carnations and roses and 

 you will find the proper place lor 

 bulbous flowers where they are not 

 only paying tor themselves but also 

 help to stimulate the sale of our home 

 product. FRANK DANZBR.

As announced in our advertising col- 

 umns, A. Rci>er will disseminate his 

 sensational carnation Bay State next 

 season and is now booking orders. 

 This carnation, which was the most 

 nrticed variety at the two last carna- 

 tion conventions, is white with car- 

 mine markings in the way of Mrs. Pat- 

 ten; flower and stem very massive, 



plant sturdy and free flowering. It is 

 the progeny of two unnamed seedlings. 



Detroit parks are all aglow wltlt 

 beautiful pansy beds. Some of the 

 larger beds are planted with a dark 

 blue variety bordered with a yellow 

 variety. Beds of the old Primula auri- 

 cula are also very effective, but we 

 have to wait a lew days for tulips, 

 which only in the most favored ixjsi- 

 tions show color.
