"You may Guido the Hannah Ho-
bert?"
"I am always working, why not?"
NEW WORKERS always want and
" are willing to pay for the best
NJ of everything there is going. Men
vi and women blessed with a pie
l thoric purse are more liberal in
buying flowers than they are in
expenditure for any other form of luxury.
It is a case of noblesse oblige. Society
has set its seal upon certain flowers as
appropriate for specified occasions, and
the man or woman who wants the ap-
prevail of society must buy those flowers,
regardless of seasons. That is why New
York has the best and most expensive
flower shops in the country. That is why
rich New Workers have been asking their
florists for two days if there is any good
reason for Boston having a monopoly of
the magnificent Lawson carnation. even
If the devoted husband of the woman the
flower was named for did pay 600 for
the right to control it's production.
New York is going to have that carna-
ton, sooner or later. Two of the most
fashionable florists in town told me re-
Gently that there is no doubt of it. They
first produced the flower by skillful graft
ing, nor Mr.. Thomas F. Calvin, who acted
as agent and has made the carnation the
talk of the whole country by judcious
booming, can prevent that flower from
being duplicated here unless they lock
up their greenhouses and personally in
spect each flower sent out. Even then 1t
would be possible to circumvent them.
Experienced commission men l talked
with were inclined to pooh-pooh the
superiority of the Lawson carnation and
to regard the price paid by Mr. Lawson
as wildly extravagant. They insisted that
carnations equally fine are on the market
here now in limited quantities. But the
fashionable dealers in cut flowers tell n
different story. The curiosity of their
customers is aroused about the Lawson
carnations. They want them, and they
won't be happy until they get them
The fuss made about this flower and the
extravagant prices offered for it by New
York and Chicago flower fanciers has Gre
ated a sort of carnation mania, almost
similar to the famous tulip mania that
turned the sedate, steady going people of
| Holland upside down in the seventeenth
