NAMES THAT SELL FLOWERS.
ONE PERPLEXING PROBLEM OF
THE FLORISTS TRADE.
Evidence Of the Ability OF . Catchy Name
10 Make . New Flower Popular
Systems Of Nomenclature - Magic
Of the "Mother-in-Law Piant.S

Ev10ence OF inc ADhuty Of Satcuy Namo
to Make . New Flower Popular
-systems Of Nomenclature - Magic
Of the "Mother-in-Law Plant"
Not the least perplexins problem con-
nected with the introduction OF a new
variety OF plant or flower lies in giving it a
catchy name. A flower may possess all
the necessary attributes within itself to win
it's way to the front ranks Of howerdom;
but a plebeian or uneuphonious name prove
a handicap. 30 far as it's popularity with the
public Is concerned.
A good example Of this fact was seen in
the case OF the now much-favored pink
Bridesmaid rose. This flower was origi-
nally named THE Hugh after the fore
man in the Jersey greenhouse estab-
lishmsnt where 1t originated as sport
from the white rose, the Bride. The first
desi gnation was killing the sales OF the
flowers on the market when the prettier
title was hit upon and applied with the
present favorable result.
The primary object in naming new plant
or flower is, Of course. TO furnish q means
Of Identification. But. as will be seen from
the foregoing. q good name has . CON-
mercial value more especially In these days
when the public has been educated up to
the point Of ordering flowers by their
specific names.
II one casts his eye over the names Of
the plants and flowers In q nurseryman' g
or seedsman's catalogue, he will notice that
In naming their favorites the growers have
drawn upon the names OF kings. queens,
emperors, principalties. powers, potentates
actors and actresses. singers and sermon
makers. soldiers and sailors, myths. mer-
chants, public functionaries and private
individuals.
The system Of applying names Of persons
to new plants and flowers has been in vogue
ever since the days Of Theophrastus; In
fact. It may 20 back beyond his time. and
have had It's origin in Eden, when the first
gardener named one Of his most beautiful
discoveries In honor OF his wife.
A few plantsmen have their own particu-
lar line OF names. For instance. one-time
famous grower OF chrysanthemums named
his new varieties a. they appeared after
the members OF his own family. This
practice was a most confusing one and its
only virtue lay In the advertising Of the
family name. which was also the commercial
one.

JUMPS HIS BOND.

A special from COlfaX says: Har-
vey JilsOn, a pioneer of AsOtin coun-
", is said to be a fugitive from JUS
tice. A bench warrant was issued
for his arrest here a few days ago,
and Deputy Sheriff Stewart sent to
Asotin after him. Today the officers
telephoned that Jilson had sold his
property in Asotin county and left
for parts unknown before his arrival.
Jilson, who is 10 years old, was IN
der $1,000 bonds to appear in the SUI
perior court of this county to answer
a charge of embezzli1g the funds of
the estate of J. T. Wilsey, deceased,
and G. B. Carter and Louis Schmuck,
of Colfax are his bondsmen. They
received notice the other day that
JilsOn was dispOSing of his property
and secured the bench warrant for
his arrest. but too late. He had fled
when the deputy sheriff reached his
home.
JilsOn was the administrator of the
estate of ]. T. Wilsey, formerly a
practicing physician of Uniontown
in this county, who died twelve years
ago, leaving valuable property. About
five years ago Jilson was arrested on
a charge of embezZling the funds OF
the estate. but was released on MS
own recognizance, and left the state
remaining away until William Nc
Donald. then Judge of Whitman coun
", who had instituted the proceed
/ ings against him, left the bench and
the state, when he returned. The
case was recently revived by one OF
the attorneys for the heirs and jill
son was rearrested and brought tC

Here he met G. B. Carter, an i'm

pity on the old man and took him
home to stay, instead Of permitting
him to be locked up in Jail. Wher
the bonds for the appearance were
fixed at $1,000 Carter and his partner
Louis Schmuck, signed the bonds. Il
looks now as if they will have to pay
dearly for their efforts to befrienC
the old man.
