PINK CUPID SWEET PEA. 



This gives promise of being one of the 

 best sweet pea novelties that we have 

 been favored with. Tlie sweet pea has of 

 late vears taken a very prominent place 

 in the florists' stock of flowers, and its 

 popnlarity seems to steadily increase with 

 the people. But as a pot plant the sweet 

 pea has undoubtedly a useful future be- 

 fore it now that we have a race of dwarf 

 growing sorts. A well-bloomed pot of 

 sweet peas is bound to appeal to all 

 lovers of this flower. We believe Mr. 

 Buqjee has an excellent thing in his new 

 Pink Cupid. 



HOLLY AND GREENS. 



Of hollv there seems a likelihood of a 

 shortage this year, but of bouquet green 

 the supply is abundant. At the low prices 

 at which the latter is quoted it will un- 

 doubtedly pa\- retailers to push it as freely 

 as they can. The quality seems generally 

 excellent and it ought to give satisfaction 

 wherever used. It would probably prove 

 a good in\estment for every retailer with 

 auA- considerable trade to issue to his cus- 

 tomers a printed announcement stating 

 that the suppl\' of bouquet green is gener- 

 ous this year and that prices are such 

 that all can afford to u.se it freely in their 

 Christmas decorations. 



JADOO FIBRE. 



This substitute for soil in growing 

 plants seems to be meeting with much 

 favor with those who have given it a trial. 

 Many of the prize winning plants and 

 flowers at the recent chrysanthemum 

 show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society, Philadelphia, were grown in Ja- 

 doo fibre, and the superb crotons shown 

 at the Providence convention by Robert 

 Craig, Philadelphia, were also grown in 

 Jadoo. Those crotons will linger long in 

 the memory of all who saw them. Per- 

 fection seems the only word to appl)' to 

 both growth and coloring. Mr. Craig 

 attributed his success to the Jadoo fibre in 

 which they were grown. It is certainly 

 worthy of a thorough trial by every one 

 who grows plants and flowers.
