C. E. Barton, of Norwalk, O., a florist 

 by having it thrust on him, reminds one 

 of the man with five talents. Mr. Bar- 

 ton accepted the challenge many years 

 ago, while a druggist. Today it is hard 

 to tell which business produces the 

 greater revenue. 



For nearly a score of years Miss Helen 

 Patten has been one of Toledo's most 

 prominent florists, and now after nine- 

 teen years of work she speaks of retir- 

 ing. As a business woman, Helen Pat- 

 ten has inspired the confidence of a 

 large and worthy clientele among flower 

 lovers. She has successfully proved that 

 the feminine mental equipment is equal 

 to the masculine in developing a busi- 

 ness. For many years she has had the 

 able assistance of Miss Flick.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



While it was primarily a meeting of 

 carnationists at Chicago, the queen of 

 flowers, as usual, drew a large share of 

 attention. Amid the praises bestowed 

 upon Madame Butterfly was mingled 

 regret at the absence of the veteran 

 wizard who produced this beautiful 

 rose. Joseph Hill came in for congratu- 

 lations when it became known that a 

 lusty junior had appeared to make pos- 

 sible the handing down of the name to 

 future generations of the trade. 



The head of the Jansscn Seed & Floral 

 Co., of Springfield, 111., states that never 

 in his long experience have flowers 

 seemed so scarce as at this time. After 

 preaching the doctrine of natural as 

 against artificial flowers, he finds it a 

 hard one to practice. 



Hembreiker & Cole, of Springfield, re- 

 port big business, limited only by ca- 

 pacity to produce; it seems that all are 

 in the same boat just now. 



A. C. Brown, of Springfield, accom- 

 panied by Mrs. Brown, who has charge 

 of the store, returned from the carna- 

 tion convention much pleased with the 

 trip and regretting they could not bring 

 back some of the fine exhibits. 



Peoria, 111., sent representatives to 

 the carnation convention in the persons 

 of Messrs. Cole and Kuhn. 



Frank Washburn, of A. Washburn & 

 Sons, Bloomington, 111., was deeply in- 

 terested in what he saw at the carnation 

 meeting; as a grower, he feels well re- 

 paid for the trip. George Washburn has 

 charge of the store and attends meet- 

 ings of the F. T. D., which he considers 

 a vital part of the business. 



Chas. A. Kuehn, of St. Louis, Mo., was 

 found one Saturday afternoon in a con-
