NEWS NOTES. 



Babylon, N. Y.— A. W. Warren is 

 now superintendent of the Howell 

 Carnation Co. 



Clarkston, Wash. — The Vineland 

 Nurseries Co.. which recently took 

 quarters here for grafting and storing 

 purposes are preparing over 500,000 



roots, having a full crew of men at 

 work. 



Fennville, Mich. — J. E. Hutchinson 

 and Henry I^amb have organized the 

 Sanocide Spray Co., which firm pro- 

 poses to manufacture a lime and sul- 

 phur composition. The plant will have 

 a capacity of 300 barrels per day. 



Q Shakespeare is said to 

 have possessed a brain- 

 vocabulary of about 15,000 

 words ; Webster about 

 8000; while the average 

 man has perhaps looo. 

 Now the English language 

 is simple as compared with 

 the Japanese. The modern 

 printer in Japan must make 

 a selection from about 

 8000 characters to "set-up" 

 even an ordinary story. 

 These characters stand for 

 words and sometimes 

 whole sentences. Just 

 think it over before you be- 

 gin to study that interest- 

 ing language. 

 ^The Japanese children 

 now study English in many 

 schools in Japan and in the 

 course of time it will not 

 be so difficult to get to- 

 gether. Perhaps then we 

 can go into the bulb fields 

 and talk English to the 

 growers. It can't be done 

 now however and it takes 

 a well educated Japanese 

 to be a successful bulb 

 merchant. Mr. Arai is one 

 of the ablest men in the 

 business ; a man conversant 

 with all the ins and outs; 

 the people; their products; 

 and the value of a lily bulb 

 from A to Z. He is per- 

 sonally in the fields much 

 of the time and among the 

 growers all of the time. 

 Horseshoe Brand lily 

 bulbs are marketed under 

 his personal supervision 

 and they are the choicest 

 from the Orient,
