The New Pink 

 CARNATION 



NORTHPORT 



Color, cerise-pink. This variety has been thoroughly tried out for the past five years and we offer it today with every 

 confidence that it will ultimately take first place as the premier dark pink. The color is similar to Mrs. C. W. Ward, 

 without the objectionable streakiness and tendency to burst the calyx of the latter variety during the dark weather. 



The growth is wonderfully free and continuous, and Northport will produce more flowers per plant than any other 

 variety of its type. The calyx is practically non-bursting, and a look at its record on the show table will indicate its 

 value from an exhibition point of view. ,

alissimo of arrangements^ and myself 

 have been in frequent <y)mmun^cation 

 for the last few weeks/" he says, "and 

 matters are shaping nicely. In all 

 probability the new Hotel Oregon will 

 be decided on as headquarters. It pos- 

 sesses ~ a palatial auditorium for meet- 

 ings and ample space for exhibits. Hotel 

 rates will be reasonable, varying from 

 $1.50 to $6. The Transcontinental Pas- 

 senger Association has published its 

 schedule of rates and will issue. summer 

 tourist tickets from Chicago to Port- 

 land, returning by same or any other 

 direct route, for $75. It will be possi- 

 ble to buy a ticket in New York city 

 to Portland and return for $111.30. 

 The rate from Rochester will be $96.30. 

 President Meehan has appointed Mars- 

 den G. Fox, of Rochester, to rally the 

 eastern members on the subject of spe- 

 cial cars, and that gentleman at once 

 inaugurated a vigorous canvass, the re- 

 sults of which are quite gratifying. He 

 is hoping that members in the middle, 

 southern and southeastern states will 

 arrange to connect at Chicago, so that 

 all can cross the continent together." 



MONEY FOR THE QUABANTINE. 



In the agricultural appropriation bill 

 now pending in Congress the sum of 

 $40,000 is provided for the purposes of 

 the federal plant quarantine, or $10,000 

 less than the estimates. In reporting 

 the bill the committee said: 



"This appropriation is necessary to 

 carry out the purposes of the act. For- 

 eign Tjnarantine at ports of entry should 

 be under the control of the federal gov- 

 crnmeiit. It has been necessary during ' 

 the past year to conduct this quarantine

at ports through state quarantine offi- 

 cers and with the aid of experts dele- 

 gated from different bureaus of the de- 

 partment to meet emergencies. This is 

 a very unsatisfactory system, giving no 

 federal control over the permanence or 

 personnel of the force, and does not 

 give the efficiency which the proper 

 enforcement of the act calls for. The 

 bd^lof' port quarantine may bdJiindi- 

 cated by the fact that the state salary 



roll for the port guardians of the state 

 of California amounts to some $18,000. 

 This is, however, the principal item of 

 expense in quarantine work, as much 

 of the quarantine is in relation to the 

 exclusion of fruit flies and other sim- 

 ilar pests from Pacific coast ports. 

 There is, however, additional expense 

 connected with Pacific coast ports of 

 other states, and somfe le^timate items 

 of expense at eastern and 6ther ports."
