 The capitalization is $500,000, divided 

 into 2,000 shares of seven per cent cu- 

 mulative preferred stock and 3,000 

 shares common stock, the par value of 

 each being $100. J. K. M. L. Farquhar,

 Roger Williams park. Providence, R. 

 I., who has recently returned from a 

 trip to Great Britain, paid a visit to 

 W. E. Wallace, the noted carnation spe- 

 cialist, at Eaton Bray, England. He saw 

 one large house with plants in beds 

 'ilantod four years ago, which had been 

 in continuous crop ever since. The 

 plants in late September stood seven 

 to eight feet high, were a perfect mass 

 of bloom and the flowers equal in qual- 

 ity to the best seen in America in 

 March. Some of the varieties were of 

 American, others of English origin.
