 There are a great many dodges that the public never dream of in connection with the enormous sale of buttonholes and bouquets. For instance, we often give perfume by artiricial means to the flowers we sell" said one who till recent ly was in the florist business.
 The greater number of doctored hoS4 CTS are either those which are fading and of color or those which usually have no scent at all. In the case of the former the flowers are datEy dipped in q weak solution of sal &mmoniao. which for a time revfves them tn the most marvellous way.
 "But the chief doctUrfng is with the flowers which as . rule have little or no scent. First of all. these are put into a metal box with ice, and then By a very simple process they are subjected to a continuous current of carbOnic acid charged with perfumes of the required variety. There is an immense amount of profit made by scsnting those violets which in the order of nature have no per- fume."
