The Qub's Show. 



On February 27 the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club gave its annual carnation 

 and rose show. There was a fine exhi- 

 bition and a good attendance. My

 land, was scored to 97 points and award-

 interest in this variety. J. E. Haines, 

 Bethlehem, Pa., showed his namesake 

 and Imperial. C. M. Wagner, gardener to

 ling named Lady Edna, and John Cook

CANTON, OHIO. 



The Brown Floral Co. has a new 

 sport from Enchantress carnation 

 which has been named Mrs. Ida McKin- 

 ley, for the widow of the late President 

 McKinley. In all its characteristics save 

 color and fragrance the sport is identi- 

 cal with Enchantress. The color is a 

 shade lighter than Joost, the petals dark 

 at the base and growing lighter toward 

 the tips in the fully expanded flower. 

 The flower has a strong clover fragrance, 

 which should be a strong point in its 

 favor.
