SOME NEW PERPETUAL OR 



Winter-Flowering Carnations. 



Mr* Alfred Girand, Nurseryman, near Paris, France, has 

 succeeded in obtaining from seed some new varieties of winter- 

 flowering carnations wfiich surpass 



EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE. 



The flowers are 5 inches across, extremely double and very 

 deliciously fragrant. The stems on lO-month plants, grown in the 

 most natural way, are strong and stiff and are 4, 5 and 6 feet high. 

 Plants and flowers are to be seen during next summer in Paris.

offered by Montgomery Ward & Co. The 

 prizes are paid for merit and we should 

 not think the stipulation that the vari- 

 eties must be grown from seeds pur- 

 chased from Montgomery Ward & Co. 

 would make them subject in any way to 

 the rulings against lottery." 



In presenting the matter at Washing- 

 ton it is understood that Ward & Co. 

 «et up the claim that their prize offers 

 were no different from tnose of dozens 

 of other seedsmen. 



The St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., 

 who issue one of the catalogues it is un- 

 derstood Montgomery Ward & Co. filed 

 with the post-office department for com- 

 parison of prize offers, writes as follows: 



"Concerning the serious trouble be- 

 tween the post-office and Montgomery 

 Ward & Co., will say we consider this an 

 injustice to the seedsmen and fail at the 

 present time to see just where the post-

oflBce can hold them. We have offered 

 prices for specimens and yieldings, to- 

 gether with photographs, for a number 

 of years, the same as a great many other 

 seedsmen do, and have mailed our cata- 

 logue from other post-offices where they 

 were printed, and we have never so far 

 had any trouble of this kind. We sin- 

 cerely hope that we never shall, nor that 

 this privilege will be discontinued by the 

 post-office. There has been trouble with 

 some seed companies, such as A. A. 

 Berry, of Ciarinda, la., who had a guess- 



ing contest in their catalogue. This w» 

 believe to be against the rules of the 

 post-office. We sincerely hope that this 

 matter will be adjusted in the favor of 

 the seedsmen, so that they will be thor- 

 oughly understood before our future eat- 

 alogues go to press." 



It is probable that the old offers still 

 . would pass at most offices but the ex- 

 pense and delay involved if they are 

 held up, as was Ward's book, make a 

 thorough understanding of the matter 

 necessary. The case serves to show to
