. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. WITTERSTAETTER'S ENQUIRER. BASSETT & WASHBURN'S MRS. LAWSON. PRIZE-WINNING VASES OF CARNATIONS AT THE INDIANAPOLIS EXHIBITION. Louise Naumann, a pink after the stjle of Wm. Scott, but not up to present day requirements. J. B.
