The Randolph Herald says of a

III. roeman:
Florist H. NJ. Totman is develop
ing into horticultural wizard and
bids fair to rival the famous Luther
Burbank in the direction of plant
life. His very latest achievement is
to. place on the market green-yes,
greep-carnations for St. Patrick's
day. No, the flowers were, not
dipped in green paint or touched up
with a brush, but were simply made
to grow that way because Mr..
Totman believes in having carna-
ton for every occasion. They are
white blossoms variegated in green,
are beauties and ought to make Their
producer amazingly popular with the
wearers of the green Some mysteri.
Gus treatment of the roots causes
the white carnations to take on this
appearance.
