Certainly there can be no complaint against Mrs. Lawson for lack of freedom of bloom, for there are few varieties on the mammoth Reinberg place which will g^ve as many flowers per plant as will this largest of the pinks. The only possible ob- jection to its behavior here is that the stems have not yet attained a length of more than fifteen to eighteen inches, which is just a little short of the pres- ent day requirement for a strictly fancy carnation. Next to Mrs. Law- son, the most popular pink on the place is Guardian Angel, the sport from A r m a- zindy. Next season it will be grown very extensively, displacing Mrs. Joost. The sport possesses all the good attributes of Arma- zindy, including free- dom of bloom and length and strength of stem. It has been, probably, the most profitable sort on the place this winter. Mrs. Joost has been largely grown but is regarded as inferior to the sport in many qualities other than that of keeping. There is one section of ten short houses given to Mrs. Leopold Ine, the sport from Tidal Wave. This is almost the color of G. H. Crane and is now in its third year hene. It was planted by the tens of thousands, be- cause of its freedom of bloom. The plants were rather small when benched, and it was rather late in producing its usual quantity of bloom, but now there is a literal forest of buds and the plants are blooming at a rate which insures the variety a permanent p
