HAS S.iiC'URDD PATENT Mr. Cornelius Botnhoff, manager of the Clinton branch sof the Ray- mond Knitting Co,, has had his ap- plication allowed for a patent on a knitting apparatus. Application was made to the Washington government in 1929, when ho was living in the United States, and he assigned the patent to the Gotham Silk Hosiery Company, New -York. Mr. Botnhoff says that this machine will be a boon to the hosiery manufacturer, as by it the work of two intricate ma- chines will be combined. Too bad it is not a Canadian patent.

This bueh has had a great marry ' blooms and is still bearing, although the flower's are not quite so large as the first ones were. They are a rie11 reddish yellow or bronze.
