Bridesmaid 

 Excelled 



MAID 



OF HONOR... 



Formerly called 



MISS CLARA BARTON 



This is a sport from Catherine Mermet. 



After rigid tests during the last two years, we 



are able to state : 

 I. — That its color is a rich, glowing pink, darker 



than Bridesmaid. 

 II. — That it is an excellent keeper, and sells 



over the counter better than Bridesmaid. 

 III.— That it is a most prolific bloomer with all 



perfect buds.

ROCHES! ER. N. Y. 



The flower and plant trade during the 

 past month was only fairly good, 

 owing principally perhaps to the se- 

 verity of the weather. On milder days 

 sales were always up to the average. 

 The supply generally was rather in 

 excess of the demand, though prices 

 were not affected and kept up to the 

 usual figure. The Lawson carnation is 

 exhibited in one of our stores and at- 

 tracts the attention of the general pub- 

 lic just now, but sales are few and far 

 between. 



The greenhouses, sheds and seed 

 storehouse owned by George Arnold, 

 Jr., were burned to the ground early 

 Saturday morning, Feb. 11th. The fire 

 is thought to have started in the boil- 

 er room and was not discovered until 

 the flames had spread into the adjoin- 

 ing buildings, too late to save any of 

 them or their contents. It is a severe 

 loss and drawback to our enterprising 



young townsman, as there was but a 

 small portion of the property covered 

 by insurance, and he only saved a few 

 ho'tbed sash, stored away in one corner 

 of the building, every plant and imple- 

 ment, together with a lot of seeds 

 stored in the building, being destroyed.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The annual meeting of the Hamp- 

 den Co. Hort. Society was a very en- 

 thusiastic one. The business of the 

 evening was the election of officers. 



Mr. W. P. Peacocjf, Atco, N. J., one 

 of the most expert dahlia growers in 

 the country, will lecture before the so- 

 ciety at its March meeting. 



Mr. Edw. Stock, one of the best 

 known and successful amateur horti- 

 culturists, died at his home, aged 68 

 years. He was a member of the Hort. 

 Society, and was always a large ex- 

 hibitor at the annual shows.
