Nollie Lewis Carnation.

The latest and one of the best nov
elites for 1891 is an elegant Carnation,
growing on long stems, free bloomer
with large flowers, of an exquisite
shade of pink, something entirely diff
ferent from anything in Carnations.
This flower is destined to become a
great favorite among the florists, as
the ladies prize it very highly for cor
sage bouquets and decorative purposes
generally. The endorsement of the
old firm of james Wick, Rochester, n.
Y, who introduce this plant, is enough
to assure the public that it is all they
claim for it. The price is only so cents
each, three for 1925, six for 1926,
doz., 400; but a better way would be
to send 10 cents for Vick's Floral
Guide and the 10 cents can be deduct
ed from the first order forwarded for
seeds.

working about an hour on the lady the doctor
finally produced signs of consciousness.
Slowly Mrs. Campbell opened her eyes,
only, with hysterical shrieks OF lear, TO lapse
again into Inconsistencies. AT last She
came to. and when questioned IS to who had
bound and gagged her she repeated the
above story, stating that the robbers she
believed were two in number, but could not
positively state whether there were more or
whether they were black or white. All she
knew was that thers were two and that
they wore their hats down over their eyes.
One of them she partly described as wearing
striped pants and patent leather shoes.
AS sOun as Mrs. Campbell had recovered
sufficiently Mr. Campbell sent out ior

were all closely questioned, and no one saw
