THE READERS' CORNER. 



Coloring Carnations. 



We note the inquiry of R. E. W. in 

 last week's Review, and while we agree 

 with the editor's sentiments regarding 

 the coloring of flowers, to a certain ex- 

 tent, Ave know', too, that one cannot al- 

 ways govern the demand, and if colored 

 carnations are wanted we must try to 

 please our customers. We have found 

 that green aneline is used for coloring 

 carnations green, for Pat's day, and 

 suppose blue and yellow aneline would 

 do the same work. ' A nickel 's worth of 

 aneline will make about a pint of color- 

 ing. Use in vase. It takes about six 

 hours for flowers to take up enough col- 

 oring. Kaber. 



Ants and Moles. 



My remedy for ants is a little cam- 

 phor gum broken up and placed in the 

 hills. In a few hours the ants will have 

 aliandoned their home. 

 . For moles I pour a little kerosene in 

 the runway, or a little bisulphide of car- 

 bon will drive them out. Don't take a 

 light near either. R. E. W. 



Troy, N. Y. — ^A fire occurred March 

 27 in- the establishment of W. C. Good- 

 rich, 357 Broadway. The damage was 

 slight. 



Rives Junction, Mich. — E. E. Stew- 

 art reports a good sale on gladiolus 

 bulbs this spring. He has already 

 shipped several large orders, one of 

 which amounted to 50,000 bulbs. He 

 will plant about twelve acres this spring. 



Muncie, Ind. — Damage amounting to 

 about $300 was sustained by Rea Rig- 

 gins in a fire which broke out in his 

 greenhouse, north of this city, March 

 30. The fire, which originated in the 

 boiler room and had made considerable 

 headway before being discovered, was 

 extinguished by a bucket brigade.
