The cultivation Of flowers, as Will
be seen from this statement, Is get
ting to be considerable industry, ana
we should like to see more attention
paid to it In Virginia This country IS
now so rich that the people in the
cities are able to buy flowers at a high
cost, and at certain seasons of the year
the supply is not equal to the demand.
We believe that ladies in the suburbs
and those who live on farms within
reasonable distance ofthe city OF Rich
mond, for example, would find both
pleasure and profit in growing flow
ers for market 1t would cost some
thing to build the hot houses, but the
outlay would not be very large, ana
with proper care and attention the
remuneration would be great. Ever!
woman loves flowers. and the motherly
instinct in her makes her love to cult
yate them. The man who loves MS
occupation is more apt to succeed than
he who does not, and by the same
token we believe that women would
be most successful in cultivating foW-
ers for sale. 1t is a beautiful occupa-
ton. and it is great work for women
for the more flowers the people nave
the purer and better and more rehneu
the people will be.

FOR the sake Of p1ilanthrop for phil.
anthropy IS not q factor In business.
But the trusts have found that the
best paid labor is the cheapest labor
and that the way to make money is
TO give the best article at the lowest
price. a trust hates n strike and will
make any reasonable concession to
avoid labor disturbances. The trust
deals with so many people that it
must make its goods popular in order
TO sell them. In spite of the popular
prejudice against trusts it is q we'll
known fact that the goods made by
these big corporations are the most
popular goods in the country and for
the simple reason that they are the
best and cheapest goods Attempts
have been made from time to time to
start UP antitrust factories and ap-
peals have been made to the sentiment
of the people, but such appeals have
been vain, for the people like the other
goods better:
Recently the trusts have had some
wholesome lessons. Several of them
have made very poor exhibits as TO
their earnings and it has been demon
stratcd, il it needed to be demonstrated,
that in all such create manufacturing
concerns the wisest and most conser-
vative policy is necessary in order to
make profits. The idea that the trust
can ride roughshod over the people
and stiN live and prosper is absurd.
The people are the customers of the
trust, and the trust must get along
with the people if they would get along
at all.
Another charge that has been made
against the trusts is that they crush out
the individual. and while enriching a
few tend to keep the little man from
making money. But the corporations
Of the country have given the little
man the opportunity of investment
such as he never before had The
little man can go On the market any
day in the week and purchase ten
shares Of stock or more at the ruling
market price in any of the big cor
porations of the country, and can thus
become a sharcr in the profits of these
combinations. There are hundreds
and thousands of comparatively poor
people in this country, and many of
them are in Richmond, who own stock
in the United States Steel Corporation.
in the American Tobacco Company. in
the Sugar Trust and in the railroads
of the country. They can buy these
shares on as favorable terms as the
rich man buys them. and within their
means they have the same opportunity
of reaping the profits The great corDor-
ations Of this country, SO far from be
ing exclusive, give to everybody the
opportunity Of proft-tai1ing with them.
and if there arc great profits the small
shareholders get their part.
We are not undertaking to champion
the trusts Of the country. We are
simply stating well known fact.

The statement in these columns that

we did not expect the crustacean to be
"a new thing to our Florida contem-
poraries We repeat that a gentleman
who is well known in our State vouched
for his delicious qualities recently to d
congenial party in d fashionable New
York restaurant and we assure our
brethren of the State press that we have
not exaggerated its abundance or deli
cacy. The gentleman in question con-
sidered it superior to the lobster at his
best.
Now we desire to quote another wit
ness. Lieutenant Willoughby, of the
navy, made his acquaintance in the bay
of Florida, and found the bottom alive
with them. and in less than one hour
with a spear I landed in my canoe two
hundred pounds of this delicious sh2l-
fish, Further he says: The cra;wlish
Is much like our Northern lobster. In
stead of large claws it has fcelers that
are quite thick at the base and more
like the shrimp. The shell is rougher
than that of the lobster and there is
more red in the valiegated color. They
everage in weight about a pound and a
half. though we caught one that weighed
four pounds
Now why should not the crawfish do
as much for us as the lobster has done
for New England? But we need not ex-
terminate hin, but see that he grows
constantly more numerous in our seas
