WINONA 



Ttie True Pink Carnation for 1908. 



A color that attracts attention. 



Once seen, always wanted. 



Comes nearest to Fiancee, but is a different type flower. Never Bursts— Every Calyx Perfect. Good, shapely, active 

 growth. Blooms early and in quantity. A grand commercial variety. Give It a trial and compare the returns. We have a 

 large stock, clean and healthy. Will guarantee every cutting to be flrstclaas. Order now for early delivery. Price, $12.00 

 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. Larger lots, prices on application. With our additional glass we have more than doubled our 

 stock of Carnation plants, and can fill orders for rooted cuttings to even better satisfaction than in past years.

NEWPORT, R. L 



Ctirrent Comment. 



This winter will easily get on record 

 as one of the old-fashioned kind, of 

 which the old folks tell us so much. From 

 now I doubt if many will care to hear a 

 great deal about such old-fashioned hap- 

 penings. The majority will prefer, rather, 

 to think of some other kind. A year ago 

 there was not as much bright sunlight as 

 we are having this year, but for some 

 reason or other roses and carnations are 

 not doing any better in this locality than 

 they were this time last year. 



If it were not for an unusual demand 

 for funeral pieces, there would not bo 

 much of a demand locally for cut flowers; 

 Funerals have been more than ordinarily 

 numerous lately, and it so happened that 

 many of those who have * * crossed the 

 bar" were prominent among their fel- 

 lows. The consequence, of course, is that 

 a correspondingly large amount is spent 

 on floral tributes. The legend, "Please 

 omit flowers," occasionally appears in 

 the death notices in the daily papers, but 

 nevertheless, it invariably happens that 

 flowers are sent, and, curiously enough, 

 those responsible for the intimation ap- 

 parently anticipate just such action and 

 appreciate it none the less. 



The oflicers of the Newport Horticul- 

 tural Society are doing all they can at 

 the outset of their term of office to make 

 this a year of results. Somehow, for a 

 year or two the members of this society 

 were content to meet in small numbers 

 and transact the necessary business 

 without much concern about the possibil- 

 ity of doing things that would produce 

 great results. The exhibitions of the so- 

 ciety and all matters connected with 

 them were notable exceptions to that con- 

 dition. The exhibitions are always af- 

 fairs capable of inspiring enthusiasm. 

 This year the educational capability of 

 the society is receiving attention. On 

 February 25 Robert Cameron will read a 

 paper on ' ' Annuals and Biennials. ' '

De Kalb, III. — Recently the ten-year- 

 old son of J. L. Johnson was nearly suf- 

 focated, while asleep, by a smoldering 

 fire in the bed clothes, which had been 

 ignited by a hot flat-iron placed at the 

 boy's feet. 



Portland, Me. — On the morning of 

 February 9, a fire at the greenhouses of 

 Niles Nelson caused a loss of a few 

 hundred dollars. The fire originated in 

 some scraps or refuse and was confined 

 entirely to the boiler-room.
