TO ANTHRACITE CONSUMERS. 
Further reduction in price of Best Anthracite is improbable, 
whatever inferior quality may be offered at. For guidance I 
beg to notify that my Anthracite can be guaranteed to do 
20 per cent, more work by Durability, Heat, and less Ash 
than cheaper kinds, and this means quite 4/- per ton. It is 
also weighed by Railway Company.

Whe Naming of Chrysanthemums at 
^ Flower Shows. —Probably most visi¬ 
tors to Chrysanthemum Shows, especially 
those who may desire to obtain the names 
of flowers which they particularly fancy 
and would like to grow, think that some 
more efficient method of naming than now 
obtains is very desirable. The matter is 
also not less important to those who have 
to report shows and find the naming so 
imperfectly done as to render decipher¬ 
ing almost impossible. Chrysanthemum 
blooms are now—the Japanese especially— 
so large that names cannot well be placed 
separately close to the flowers, as, if so, they 
could not be seen. 
Some exhibitors do their best by follow¬ 
ing the plan almost univerally adopted by 
Dahlia exhibitors—that of appending the 
names of the flowers in the boxes on strips 
of paper gummed to the front of the boxes, 
or placing a loose slip in front, which often 
gets torn or swept away. But, howsoever 
placed, too often the names are either 
badly written or are still difficult to see. 
Here is an admirable opportunity for some 
of those experts in providing exhibition re¬ 
quirements to devise some contrivance 
which can be fixed to the front of the 
boxes, that shall not only stand out some 
two or three inches, firmly and securely, 
but shall have enduring slits into which
