A Scroll Design. 



The liftli and last, and ajiparontly 

 most complicated, jiioce of planting 

 illiisti.ated here, is the one which Mr. 

 I'lnet/. calls a scroll design. It would 

 not look so intiicate if it wore not for 

 the f;ict that the jilants neodoil trim- 

 ming at the time the jiliotograjih was 

 taken, and tli<^ foliage had grown so 

 r.aiik as to olditerate, to some I'Xtent, 

 the lines of the scroll. llowe\'er, if 

 the nailer will look sharply, he will be 

 aide to tiace part of ;i winding lino of 

 ei heveri.as which appro.aclu's close to 

 the oiImo of the hod at tin- t'our cor- 

 ners, liiit iur\es inward as it leaves the 

 corners. In each ol' the four loops of 

 the siioll, near the corners of the lied, 

 i- ;i Large (ilie\eria, K. < 'ali fornica. 

 The iiregiilar lioidor oiit'-ide ot' the 

 ei heveria scroll loiisists ot' Altorn.an- 

 thei.a riise;i. ( )ii the inner -ide of the 



echevcria scroll are, first, a row of red 

 alternaiitlKMas, then :i row of the green- 

 ish \ellow alternant heras, A. auroa 

 nana, .and then a miinlior of Alteriiaii- 

 tlier.a xersicolor, lilling the rest of the 

 sp;iie, excejil a small area in the ceii- 

 ler, where ;ire two little oval sjiacos 

 with t!io lvhe\eiia iiietallica hotwoon

WHO MERITS TRADE PRICES? 



It is the policy of The l\e\ iew to de- 

 1 line with thanks sulisciipt ions teiidoreil 

 liy those not in the tr.ade. The leason 

 is that noarl,v all the adxcrtisers in The 

 l\e\iew lofuso to soil the stock as ad- 

 xcrtised I'xcopt to those in the tradi'. 

 It is not the liusinoss of The h'eview 

 to s;iy who is and who is not ontitlod 

 to trade jirices; that is up to «'ath iiidi- 

 \ idiial advertiser. If is a perfectly 

 simple thing to decline orders not to 

 the seller's liking, and The Jtoview be- 

 lieves it to be the dutv of wholesalers 

 lo protect the retail trade. 



l>nt till' ipiestion of who is and Avho is 

 not entitled to bii.v at wlndesale is one

 to actnai practice rm rt; is no sharply 

 do'finod line separating the sheep ami
