The Grand 

 New Rose 



LIBERTY 



Won Highest Honors Wherever Shown, 



The Finest Crimson Forcing Rose ot the Century. 



Most nearly approacht-d by Meteor in color, but far surpassing 



ttiat standard variety in brilliancy and purity of color, as well as in 



sii^e and freedom of bloom— never showing any deformed, black or 



bull heads, either in winter or summer. A remarkable keeper when 



cut. keeping its brilliancy of color without turning bUie or dropping 



its petals, as is the case with Gen. Jacqueminot; whi( h it somewhat resembles in size and fragrance. 



To be sure of getting the best crimson forcing rose of the century and .^1 stock, send your orders at once to tlie undersigned or his agents mentioned below. 



My stock for March delivery being all sold. I can only take orders for delivery in .\pril and later. All orders tilled strictly in rotation. First come, first served. 



I hereby extend a cordial invitation to all lovers of the Queen of Flowers to come and see LIBERTY growing,

WASHINGTON. 



Bright weather and lots of fine stock 

 brought the buyers out for Thanksgiv- 

 ing, giving the florist lots of fine busi- 

 ness. Stock of all kinds was plentiful 

 and all bought up, thus making a rec- 

 ord breaker in the way of receipts. 



Roses of all kinds brought 8 and 10 

 cents; carnations went up as high as 3 

 cents for ordinary stock; violets went 

 humming at $1; mums w-ent at $1 to 

 $3 per dozen and none left at that. 



Following Thanksgiving came the 

 convening of Congress. The Senate 

 Chamber and the House of Congress 

 were virtually turned into a garden of 

 flowers, for there were more flowers 

 there than has been for years. Some 

 of the local dealers carried a® high as 

 eight wagonloads of baskets and bou- 

 quets. Some designs were quite elabo- 

 rate in style as well as expensive. The 

 larger designs were made by A. Gude 

 & Bro., J. R. Freeman, J. H. Small & 

 Son and The American Rose Co. 



Mr. Eschner, of Rice & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, was a visitor this week. 



F. H. KRAMER. 



HOLYOKE, MASS. 



E. H. Rowland has just closed an 

 exhibition which lasted four days and 

 was attended by a host of admirers 

 of the Queen of Autumn. In addition 

 to the highly attractive di.splay, an 

 additional drawing card was the offer 

 of a prize to the nanier of a fine white 

 seedling raised by Mr. Sinclair, the 

 grower. Above one hundred names 

 were submitted, many being original 

 and suggestive. 



Messrs. Canning, ot the Botanic 

 Gardens, and Copeland, of Northamp- 

 ton, found the task of selection a dif- 

 ficult one, but finally decided upon 

 "Valley Queen" as being the most ap- 

 propriate. The successful donor of 

 the name was awarded a prize, a hand- 

 some palm, which doubtless the happy 

 young lady is showing her many 

 friends, and Mr. Rowland is receiv- 

 ing lots of advertising in consequence.

THERE IS nothing in the way of a 

 Christmas gift to a friend in the trade 

 that will be more appreciated than a 

 copy ot the Florists' Manual, by Wm. 

 Scott.
