and delay in making returns, is the
carelessness or lack of knowledge on
the part Of shippers sending goods to

this shippers should send the original

sure to stamp the envelope. Some
neglect this and some put only enc

The OIL OF the Pine Tree is sup

The Carnations of 800 Years Ago.

A st. Louis florist says that we
pride ourselves nowadays on the size
of our carnations, but the florists Of
three hundred years ago grew carna-
tions three to four inches across, az
large as any that we see, and thought
nothing of it. All through Spain,
Southern France and Italy, the carna-
ton is the favorite flower, and has
been for hundreds of years, but along
the Mediterranean there are a few
glass houses, for in protected situa-
tions and on southern slopes of hills
even delicate flowers grow outdoors
all winter long and bloom as freely at
Christmas as in July. The big carna-
tions, however, were not grown in
Spain or Italy, but in England, out
doors during the summer time and he
fore glass houses were known.-Ohio
