HEADQUARTERS FOR 



EASTER PLANTS 



BloounDg' Easter week and from now on if de- 

 aired. I am noted for the past years and have a 

 reputation and the trade all over the land to ?row 

 a large ab-sortment and plenty of choice bloom- 

 ing' plants of every description. I have an 

 Immense stock— seven large houses and five hot- 

 beds are crammed to their full extent, and are 

 In better shape and condition than before. 



Azalea Indica— Three bouses filled with this 

 only choice American variety. I know exactly 

 what my customers and the public In general 

 want. land my son Howard went to Europe last 

 summer on account of the scarcity of Mme. 

 Van der Cruyssen. and must say with great 

 pleasure that we were successful In obtaining 

 2,000 of this beautiful variety. I offer you them 

 now as the gem of my stock, only none of it has 

 been picked out by fall sales land have the resi- 

 due lefti. I make It as a rule not to offer any in 

 the fall outside of Xmas. Please note my prices 

 of the 2 000 Mme. Van der Cruyssen: tl, 7 and 8 in. 

 pots, all sizes, as round as an apple, covered with 

 buds. t'lOc, 75c. $1.00; specimens $1.25 to $1.50 each.

 pots are not wanted we take the fresh soil off,

 RIBBONS 



from the manufacturer. Ribbons of superior quality, 

 lustre, weave — and get perfect Ribbons— and the 'Right 

 Ribbons" for florists to use— and yet— pay less for them 

 than elsewhere, for "you save all between profits " You 

 should realize how much this means. A request for sam- 

 ples will show you the qualities and values. 



These qualities are much in use by 

 discriminating florists:

OCEANIC, N. J. 



The regular meeting of the Monmouth 

 I'ountr Hortii'uitural Society took place 

 ^farch IS. Geo. H. Hale showed some 

 tine Princess of Wales violets, very nice 

 liybrid amarvllises, Amaryllis Johnsoni, 

 • ierbera .Jamesoni and Von Sion narcissi, 

 scoring 415 points. 



The discussion of the evening was 

 "Wliat Constitutes a Table Plant?" 

 which was verv well ventilated by most 

 of the members present and i:hey came 

 to the conclusion that a table plant 

 sliould not be more than twenty inches 

 high. 



A visitor of the evening was W. M. 

 Campbell, of New York, who showed a 

 truss of roses, Madame Norbert Levav- 

 asseur, a cross between Crimson Ramb- 

 ler and a polyautha, which was indeed 

 beautiful. The plant grows from eigh- 

 teen to twenty inches high and can be 

 well used for the border of a rose bed. 

 The judges of the evening were E. Will- 

 iam.s, .John Yeomans and Nicholas But- 

 torbaeh. b. 



The price of cyclamen in 2>4-inch 

 pots was wrongly stated in C. Winte- 

 rieh 's adverfisement last week. It should 

 be $36.00 per 1,000. 



Cle.\f.brooij, Wash. — George Gfibbs 

 l:i-t tnll planted seed of 100,000 each 

 hyacinths, narcissi and tulips. He has 

 a bed of seedling crocuses tliat show new 

 colors. The Washiugton-.grown bulbs are 

 two weeks ahead of the imported bulbs 

 planted the same day. Candidum lilies 

 are large, fine bulbs. Mr. Gibbs will 

 have some sample tulip ' bulbs to dis- 

 tribute to the trade for trial this fall. 



CiTT OF Mexico, Mex. — .J. A. Mc- 

 Dowell is the Mexican horticultural 

 r-ommissioner to the St. Louis World's 

 Fair. He is making great efforts to 

 have his exhibit the finest Mexico has 

 ever sent to an exposition. Heretofore 

 the exhibits have been principally cacti 

 and orchids but it will include tuberous 

 licgouias, crotons, variegated foliage 

 jdants, dracEenas, palms, cycads, caladi- 

 ums, ferns and other tropical plants.
