NAMING OF FLORISTS' VARIETIES. 



Even in the naming of florists' va- 

 rieties some fancy used to be exercised 

 in the seventeenth century, particularly 

 in the case of carnations, says the Lon- 

 don Times. There were red Hulos and 

 Crystallines and Striped Savages and 

 Canbersines and Lusty Gallants and 

 Pale Pageants and Infantas and Feath- 

 ered Tawnies. And there is no reason 

 why florists now should not show a lit- 

 tle more spirit and invention in giving 

 names to their novelties. Florists* va- 

 rieties do not have botanical names; 

 therefore the florist has a free choice 

 and no excuse if his names are mean- 

 ingless or ugly. Yet they are usually 

 both. What is to be said for the name 

 Blairii No. 2, given to an excellent old 

 rose, or Gruss an Teplitz, given to an 

 excellent new one? The habit of calling 

 flowers after people is a dull one 

 and ought to be discouraged. All that 

 can be said for it is that the names of 

 people do not need to be translated; 

 but this would apply also to classical 

 names, which are far less used, scarcely 

 at all; but even if a pretty florist's 

 name had to be translated it would not 

 matter much, provided it was short and 

 descriptive. Daffodils in this respect 

 are better treated than roses; for in- 

 stance, Lucifer is a good name for the 

 glowing flower to which it is given, 

 and Sunset is another. But there are 

 some pretty names even among roses, 

 as. for instance, Irish Glory and Irish 

 Modesty for the beautiful single teas 

 which have lately come from Ireland. 

 Even humorous names are better than 

 dull ones, and the gardener is to be 

 commended who christened a new cu- 

 cumber Tender and True, when he might 

 have called it Lord Kitchener or Sir 

 Henry Campbell-Bannerman. 



Morton, Pa. — A contract for five 

 large greenhouses has been awarded by

 a nursery north of Morton, and which

 located their plant a few months ago. 

 The nursery will consist of about fifteen 

 houses when the improvements are com- 

 pleted. 



Stockton Speings, Me. — Mrs. W. H. 

 FoUett has broken ground for a green-
