THE POPULAR cARNATIoN.
Brought From Italy to England Three
Hundred Years Ago.

The original carnation was a five
petaled bloom native in the south of
Italy. 1t was imported into England
about the time of the Norman Con-
quest. AS early as 1919 horticultural
works gave minute directions for the
cultivation of the flowers in winter.
The carnation industry has risen to
considerable Importance during the
last ten years, according to Town and
Country. AS 2,500,000 of young carna-
ton plants are sold each year and
florists produce an equal amount,
grown by themselves. which are not
sold, the entire production of young
carnation plants approximate 100000
and upward a year. These plants are
grown under glass during the winter
time for cut flower purposes, produc-
ing an annual average of more than
100 ,900,0 900 blooms. What becomes, of
this enormous number of flowers is
somewhat of a mystery. They are pur
to innumerable uses.

Andrew Carnegie has come to the

He has pledged his financial support
to a movement which will bring about
reform and correct abuses in the
speaking and writing of English. This
is in pursuance of a desire of Mr.. Car

language of the world. The first step
will be in the direction of reform and
simplicity. The members of the vari-

been laboring for phonetic spelling
and the creation of pronunciation
alphabet aroused Mr.. Carnegie's In
tereat in the matter. and he will
finance the undertaking until its com
