Is a book of 224 Urge pages (same size as those 

 of the Florists' Review), and contains about 200 ar- 

 ticles on commercial plants and cultural operations, 

 each giving " the meat" only, from the personal ex- 

 perience of a thoroughly practical man who is in 

 daily touch with each department of the business 

 and who has that rare quality of being able to tell 

 others what they want to know. The articles 

 are arranged alphabetically, hke those in an ency- 

 clopedia, and in an instant one can turn to the sub- 

 ject upon which light is desired at the moment. The 

 book IS illustrated by over aoo fine half-tone engrav- 

 ings. It is 



A Complete Reference Book for 

 Commercial Florists 



and is a whole library on practical commeicial flori- 

 culture in one volume. It is very handsomely and 

 substantially bound in half leather, with specially 

 designed title in gold.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. 



The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



Chrysanthemums. — The new set of 

 "W. Wells & Co., Surrey, iucliides a yel- 

 low sport from Miss E. Fulton; Dora 

 Stevens, rosy cerise ; J. H. Doyle, the gold 

 medalist of Jlelbourno. Australia; Mers- 

 tham Eed, Merstham Yellow, Mrs. H. A. 

 Allen, a deep, rich, rosy pink, similar to 

 Mme. Carnot, on a four- foot stem; Mrs. 

 W. Duckham, Mrs. Barnard Hanlsey and 

 Mis-s Alice Dighton, the two incurved 

 which received first-class certificates at 

 the National Chrvsanthemum Society's 

 Show; Yellow Petit Amie, Red Barkley 

 and the yellow Ivy Stark. 



Nephkolepis Westoni. — This is a very 

 pri'tty cre-sted variety of X. ensifolia. 

 The type is remarkable for the thick, 

 leatliery substance of its fronds; the va- 

 riety partakes of this quality, aud should 

 make a useful market fern. At first 

 sight it somewhat resembles N. daval- 

 lioides furcans. but tlie branching crests 

 from each pinnule are shorter, and all 

 the fronds on the plants shown were fer- 

 tile, while in X. davallioides furcans it 

 is rarely that fertile fronds are pro- 

 duced. The symmetrical habit and good 

 substance of the fronds should insure its 

 becoming a useful market fern, and the 

 award of merit was well deserved. 



The Rubus. — Rubus reflexus (or mo- 

 luccanus), which was one of the plants 



of the year at Ghent this spring, is grown 

 largely at the famous establishment of 

 M. Truffaut, at Versailles, France, and 

 is making its way steadily into public 

 favor. 



Begonias. — Perhaps no changes in 

 plant form are more remarkable than 

 those that have been effected in begonias. 

 Two novelties iu the fancy foliage sec- 

 tion are His Majesty and Our Queen, the 

 result of reciprocal crosses of B. Rex 

 and B. laciniata. The leaf has much 

 the shape of laciniata, but the markings 

 are very distinct and novel. The merits 

 of both were recognized by the floral 

 committee of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society. 



Roses. — M. Bailiff describes Zephyrine 

 Drouhiu as being remarkably hardy, 

 being cultivated at high elevations among 

 the Alps and Jura mountains; and he 

 also notes that it is a thornless! variety. 

 The foliage is subpersistent, and the va- 

 riety strong-growing, floriferous, and an 

 excellent climber. Its pretty and scented 

 blossoms are semi-double, of a tender 

 rose color, and open in succession from 

 May to late autumn. This rose does 

 well as a bush, or as a climber on trell- 

 ises and walls. It is easily grown from 

 cuttings of the ripened wood. 



Canand.\igua, K. Y. — McKerr & Haw- 

 ley have five houses of good stock, prin- 

 ciiially roses and carnations, and are 

 doing a nice business.
