into leading him on, and l said:
"Oh, you don't do as well as your neigh

Fix the price on that color $50 per
pound the had already quoted 81 per pound

As we order three or four hundred pounds

Few music lovers in this country have
had an opportunity to enjoy the lyric beau
ties of Verdis masterpiece. "Othello." the
opera that is now being ing in English by
the Castle Square Company for the first
time in this country. The opera has had a
place In the Graz Metropolitan repertoire
three different seasons since it was written
I'm 1856. but has been given only in a few
musical centers outside OF New York. This
year Mr.. Conried is To give ''Othello," and
at the same time Henry w. SaVag gives
Il an elaborate and it's first production in
English. The score abounds In brilliant
melodic phrasing. 1t is Nerdis most am
bilious effort. and is tunefully fascinating
from the moment he curtain rises on the
celebrated storm scene. The great musical
episodes in the opera include the storm
music, the great duet between OthellO and
Iago in the third act, lagos famous
'Credo'' in the second act. lagos dream
song. and the two wonderful music num-
bers for Desdemona in the last act-the
Willow Song and DesdemOna's beautiful
prayer before the fatal bedChamber scene.
Francis Huefer, the London Times critic,
has translated the Italian liberetto. being
careful 10 restore the ShakSpearean text

score. "OthellO" will probably be sung in

Leading American Flowers.

Country Life in America.
The sale of cut roses in the United States
amounts to about $1,000, 900 n year: carna-
tions, $4,000, 600; violets, $4,000, and chrys-
anthemums-a short season crop-$700, 900.
The annual production is estimated at $780,
100000 each for roses and carnations and
$5O,O00, 900 for violets. This statement shows
the great superiority OF the carnation in
two important points. 1t can be produced
and sold more cheaply than the rose and its
keeping qualities are very much greater.
The carnation will never have as much sem
timent as the rose. but it is destined to
o~utstrip the rose as a peoples flower, if
indeed it has not already done so.
