GALESBURG^ILL. 



I. L. Pillsbury has applied for a pat- 

 ent on a method of mending carnation 

 calyxes, which he has employed for some 

 time. He calls it Pillsbury 's Carnation 

 Staple, which accurately describes it. 

 It is a staple of fine green wire, the 

 split calyx being gathered together, mak- 

 ing the parts lap a trifle, when the staple 

 is set with one leg on each side of the 

 split and pushed home. The shape of 

 the staple causes it to remain in its place 

 when pushed to the head.

The Floricolhif al Society. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held February 7 and took the form of a 

 reception by the new president, Malcolm 

 MacRorie, of members and^ friends. 

 Among those present, prominent in the 

 trade, were C. McTaggert, of Thor- 

 burn's; Thomas Grey, of Boston; J. B. 

 Kidd, seed appraiser of the port of New 

 York; William Duckham, Arthur Her- 

 rington, C. H. Totty, J. Austin Shaw, 

 W. A. Manda and the Rickards brothers, 

 with representatives from Madison and 

 Tarrytown. Musical and dramatic reci- 

 tations, addresses and sleight-of-hand 

 tricks, with the usual refreshments, de- 

 tained the gathering until a late hour. 



The presentation of four silver cups 

 won in the monthly competitive shows 

 during the last year was made, with ap- 

 propriate remarks by George Smith. 



Letters from H. Weber, John E. 

 Haines, Chicago Carnation Co. and F. R. 

 Pierson, in connection with the forth- 

 coming carnation night in March, were 

 read. 



Floral decorations from neighboring 

 estates filled the tables. J. B. D. 



AUGUSTA, GA. 



One of the oldest citizens of Augusta, 

 Ga., died recently; the late James R. 

 Randal, author of "Maryland! My 

 Maryland ! ' ' For the funeral the South- 

 ern Confederate Memorial Association, 

 with headquarters at New Orleans, tele- 

 graphed an order to Balk's Nursery for 

 an appropriate oflfering. Henry W. T. 

 Balk made a pillow, employing the Con- 

 federate colors. The pillow was thirty- 

 six inches wide and edged with bronze 

 galax. The cross upon it was of white 

 carnations and covered with double vio- 

 lets. The red ground was of red carna- 

 tions and there were thirteen lilies, rep- 

 resenting the stars. 



I LIKE the Review best of all; it is 

 very interesting and instructive. — LuD-
