In the comments on the carnation 

 heard in the market some pertinent 

 tacts have been brought to light. One 

 who has an enviable reputation of 

 many years standing, has given up 

 growing the carnation because he 

 found it more profitable to grow roses. 

 When asked why he did not advance 

 the price of carnations corresponding- 

 ly, he replied that it could not be done 

 because the life of a rose when cut 

 averaged three times that of a carna- 



tion, and buyers of flowers have 

 learned to discriminate.
