A FINE NEW PETUNIA. 



For the past two years I have had on 

 trial a petunia originating with Mr. A. 

 B. Howard. Belchertown, Mass., evi- 

 dently of the Inimitable strain, and I 

 consider it one of the best of recent 

 introduction for bedding or basket 

 work. 



The flower is large, single, with a 

 body color of a rich deep velvety ma- 

 roon. From the center start the rays 

 of a iive-pointed star, widening half 

 way up the petal, where it tapers off 

 to a point at the margin. This star is 

 a pinkish white in the center, shading 

 into a deep pink at the side margins, 

 where it blends into the maroon. 



Not only is it a most profuse bloom- 

 er, but it invariably produces the star. 

 I understand that Mr. Hov/ard will 

 place it upon the market next spring. 

 Any florist desiring stock for basket 

 work or bedding will not miss it by 

 giving this petunia a trial.

KRAFT'S PLANT TONIC. 



Tlie manufacturers of this new in- 

 secticide report very large and contin- 

 ually increasing sales. The discovery 

 that it would kill the mite chat causes 

 the Harrisii disease gave sales a great 

 impetus, and a host of growers are 

 using it on their bulbs as a preventive. 

 Some of the Bermuda growers of the 

 Harrisii are trying it and hope to erad- 

 icate the disease in their fields. That 

 it is proving useful to the nurserymen 

 is shown by the fact that a trial of a 

 gallon by one large nursery firm was 

 soon followed by an order for a full 

 barrel. 



MONTGOMERY, ALA. 



W. B. Paterson, of Rost^mont Gar- 

 dens, has bought the Highland Park 

 greenhouses, with stock, store fixtures, 

 good will, etc. This gives him 25,000 

 feet of glass and a fine trade in a pro- 

 gressive town of 40,000 people. 



G. E. Suffnian, lately manager of 

 Highland Park greenhouses, is not 

 now connected with either of the above 

 places, 



COMPTON, R. I.— W. H. Tarbox is 

 making a specialty of dahlias and as- 

 ters, and his dahlias are a splendid 

 Eight.
