It will be seen that the list of assistants 

 comprises growers from all sections of 

 the country, and with a revision by a 

 committee appointed at this meeting'the 

 standard list should be final. The society 

 has spent considerable money, and your 

 secretary some $50 of his own money, in 

 trying to straighten out and reduce the 

 list to something like common sense. 



The list marked ''Varieties of 1896, '97 

 and '98" is of too recent registration to 

 eliminate any names without the consent 

 of the parties having registered them. So 

 all names registered within the last three 

 years have been kept intact. 



There are numerous unregistered names 

 gi^en each year, and this gives rise to a 

 possible duplication of names regardless 

 of the fact that the society is trying to 

 avoid this very thing. Some claim that 

 the $1 charge has this effect, but the past 

 experience of your secretary leads him to 

 think that this is not the case. 



Something should be done, however, so 

 that all the carnations put on the market 

 at least should be registered and a dupli- 

 cation of the names of popular varieties 

 made impossible. Albert M. Herr.

That which is most common usually 

 provokes least attention. The fact that 

 water is connected with all kinds of life, 

 that it is a universal solvent, and that it is 

 taken up freely by organisms, and evap- 

 orated from their surfaces in large 

 amounts, encourages indifference toward 

 the subject rather than excites interest.
