THE BEST RED CIRNATION 



Plants in 2'^-inch pots, ready for bench or field "'' '>' 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, 

 strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant 

 bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family. 



rrice of 2i-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill SOO at the 1000 rate

Ing to confuse the public as to the Louisiana com- 

 pany, but to the contrary. 



"The relief which is asked in this suit is that 

 ray son and I be ordered to cease using our names 

 in the nursery business, and that we be ordered 

 to cease using the Starlc City address. Stark 

 City Is a postofflce established by the govern - 

 ment, fpr which my son and I are not responsible, 

 except that we have .M)0 acres of nurseries at 

 that place. Neither did we give ourselves the 

 names we bear, and we hardly think any court 

 would require us to change them." 



William P. Stark for more than a 

 third of a century has been prominent- 

 ly engaged in American horticulture. 

 He formerly was president of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen. 



E. W. Stark, president of the Stark 

 Bros. Nurseries and Orchards Co., is- 

 sued the following statement in reply 

 to W, P. Stark's rejoinder: 



"W. P. stark evades the vital issues of our 

 bill. We were forced to take this action after 

 continued infringements and damaging practices 

 against our business and our reputation. Briefly, 

 we have entered suit against William P. Stark, 

 of Neosho, Mo., to restrain him from practicing 

 methods of unfair competition, deceptive adver- 

 tising, infringement upon our trademark, 'Stark 

 Trees,' and asking that he be enjoined from so 

 doing and a referee be named to assess damages."

The Market. 



During the early part of last week 

 business in the cut flower market was 

 only fair. The demand for Mothers' 

 day was nothing extraordinary. Stock 

 in general was in good supply and 

 there was no shortage, even of white 

 carnations, of which there were enough 

 to supply all demands and still leave 

 a few. Prices ranged from $2 to $5 

 per hundred. The colored varieties sold 

 at $1.50 to $3 per hundred. Good whites 

 sold fairly well, but many of inferior 

 quality remained. Boses have short- 

 ened in supply and the demand for 

 them has fallen oflF. Peas are plenti- 

 ful, and they are moving slowly, even 

 at reduced prices. 



There is quite a surplus of lilies, 

 both Easter and calla. These have held 

 on longer than usual this season and 

 both varieties are hard to move at 

 any price. Many Darwin and May- 

 flowering tulips are to be had at prac- 

 tically the buyers' prices. The market 

 of this city does not take kindly to 

 bulbous stock after Easter Sunday and 

 many florists find it hard to move. 

 Greens are becoming more plentiful and 

 prices have receded somewhat. 



Various Notes. 



The Flower Mart, held under the aus- 

 pices of the Women's Civic League, at
