New York House Fails To Grab Mrs Thomas W Lawson Carnation
A New York wholesaler offered 15 000 for half the stock of the Mrs Thomas W Lawson carnation held by Tremont street florist Thomas F Galvin in Boston. The Chicago offer stood at 6 000 less. Galvin declined to sell or change the name, and the New York representative left Boston after failing to secure the stock, likely ending current efforts.
