ago, of a shipment OF peanuts from
Glasgow Is not 10 be interpreted as
token of "A new Scotch product. The
peanuts they have in Europe known
as Congo nuts over there. They come

Calvin, the well known florist, when
questioned about his observations on
the trip from which he has just re-
turned "The European florists are
not so enterprising as their rivals on
this side. Many Americans imagine
that the floral displays in Paris and
Brussels are unequalled whereas they
cannot compete in beauty, splendor and
prOfusion with those seen in New
York and Boston several times each
year. The Americans are more daring
In their ventures, and while they score
some failures, they also achieve a
much larger number OF successes"
