 proved this season witli )is and is the best 

 all-rouiid 'white ■»© have grewn.

 10,000 for next season.

 us and will discard it.

Queen Louise. 



Peter Keinberg: — Very good bloonuT 

 but at times inclined to burst. 



J. F. Wilcox: — Consider it our most 

 profitable white in the common varieties. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — Good only for 

 retail place where splits can be used; 

 will discard. 



Wietor Bros.: — We have fine plants 

 but it is far from being an ideal white. 



Bassett & Washburn: — Too small. 



Lakeview Bose Gardens: — Expect 

 grow 2,000 next year. 



Gov. Wolcott. 



J. F. Wilcox: — Well pleaseil with 

 and shall grow more of it next season. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — Not protitable 

 enough; will continue to grow a few for 

 stock only; it is a good exhibition vari- 

 ety, which creates demand for cuttings. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Like it well 

 enough so that we expect to plant 10,000 

 next year. 



Bassett & Washburn: — Prodvices exce|i- 



to 



it 



Lillian Pond. 



Chicago C!arnation Co.: — Bursts and 

 .stemrots; will discard. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not 

 licnch it next year. 



Bassett & Washburn : — We are disau- 

 pointed, as it splits so badly. The size 

 of bloom is good. Will gixe it another 

 trial next year. 



Gov Lownde.'. 



Chicago Carnatiiui Co.: — Very fine if 

 (■(institution holds out, which seems doubt- 

 ful ; worth trying again. 



Peter Reinberg: — We have not had 

 blooms enough from it. 



Peru. 



Peter Reinberg: — The best white we 

 grow; prolific and continuous bloomer; 

 pure white. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not 

 jilant it next year. 



Other Whiles. 



.1. F. Wilcox says Boston Market does 

 well with him, and he will increase his 

 ])lauting next year. The Lakeview Rose 

 Gardens have 10,000 Lorna, .5,000 Bon 

 Homme Richard and are still growing 

 Genesee. Bassett & Washburn say they 

 are disappointed in White Bradt. Mur- 

 phy 's White is too small for them.

Carnation Governor Wolcott. 



(A flower hard to beat as a fancy white.) 



tionaljv fine flowers, but not in such 

 quantities as either White Cloud or Nor- 

 way. It. splits quite a little. 



Her Maj<st>'. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — Our most 

 profitable white. 



Wietor Bros.: — Found it a good bearer 

 of good quality flowers; will give it 

 more bench room next season. 



Bassett & Washburn: — Have only a 

 few and the trial was hardly enough to 

 give an idea of it, but won't try again. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens:— Will plant 

 1,000 for next season. 



Adonis. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — Favorably im- 

 pressed with it. Exjjerts will succeed 

 with it if patient. We shall increase 

 our planting next season. 



Bassett iSt Washburn: — The cuttings 

 received had such a hard struggle to keep 

 alive that it will take another season be- 

 fore a fair opinion can be given. 



Peter Reinberg: — Despite bad showing 

 so far we think it will turn out to be a 

 fine variety. It is improving rapidly 

 anel now looks very promising. 



J. F. Wileox: — Does not do well with 



Wietor Bros.: — Have none left. 

 Lakeview Bose Gardens : — Don 't 

 pi'ct to grow it. 



Estelle. 



Peter Reinberg: — Best red we grow; 

 very prolific ; flowers large enough for 

 commercial use. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — One of the 

 best. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Can use- 

 3,000 next year. 



J. F. Wilcox: — Does fairly' well with 

 us, except that the stems are very short; 

 we will only grow a limited amount next 

 season. 



Wietor Bros.: — Best of the scarlets 

 now in cultivation ; fine color and gooel 

 keeper. 



Crane. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens:^ — Shall make 

 it our principal red; plant 10,000 next 

 year. 



Bassett & Washburn: — This is the best 

 red for early. It is hard to keep it from 

 elying out late in the season. 



J. F. Wilcox: — Have discarded on ac- 

 count of stem-rot. 



Peter Reinberg: — ^Discarded for Es- 

 telle. 



America. 



Wietor Bros.: — Gooel for spring; 

 brings a fine crop of good flowers. 



Bassett & Washburn: — Good in the 

 spring; worth growing on that account. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — We have 

 5,000 now on the place. 



Mrs. Palmer. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — Very free; 

 has given good satisfaction but shall dis- 

 card for newer varieties. 



Wietor Bros. : — Large flower and of 

 very good color, long, stiff stem. 



Lakeview Rose Gardens: — Shall not 

 grow it next year. 



Peter Reinberg: — Discarded for Es- 

 telle. 



Red Bradt (Chicago). 



Wietor Bros.: — One of the best scar- 

 lets; will plant more of it next season. 



Bassett & Washburn : — Very large 

 flowers, similar in habit to Mrs. Bradt. 



Peter Reinberg: — Would like it if it 

 gave more flowers. 



Harlowarden. 



Bassett & Washburn: — Very fine flow- 

 ers; had so few plants that we can only 

 give a limited experience of it. 



Peter Reinberg: — Probably the best 

 crimson ; does very well with us. 



Chicago Carnation Co.: — We eonsicler 

 it the only one of its color, very free; 

 we are now growing 10,000 plants. 



J. F. Wileox: — Does fairly well and 

 will continue to grow it. 



Wietor Bros.: — Best of all the crim- 

 sons.

.1. F. Wilcox: — Does well with us; will 

 increase our planting next season.

 plant 5,000 next season.

 bloomer; Maceo gives more flowers than 

 .■itiy other maroon variety.
