MY MARYLAND 



This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the best roses 

 ever introduced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its mtriis, and 11 will be planted very largely by the 

 largest, most progressive and most up-to-date giowers, who have already placed large orders for it. 



It is a strong, healthy, and vigorous grower, producing long stems and long pointed buds, exquisitely fra- 

 grant. The color is a soft salmon-pink. This is a rose that we can recommend in the highest terms, as we are 

 sure it will prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of really first-class varieties 

 for indoor culture ; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, b it is also unusually good during the summer months. 

 Strong plants, 234^ -inch pots, own-roots, $10 00 per 100, $90.00 per 1000 

 Grafted plants. $.0.00 per 100, $150.00 per 1,000.

PASADENA GARDENERS' ASSO- 

 CIATION. 



The Pasadena Gardeners' Associa- 

 tion treated their friends, the Los An- 

 geles Florist Club, to a smoker. It is 

 believed to be the fii'st one of its kind 

 ever held in this part of the West, by 

 a florist club A few weeks ago the 

 Los Angeles Florist Club had gathered 

 in the Pasadena crowd and treated 

 them to the- best of everything — in 

 fact, extended "a welcome to all." 



The meetings have been held to 

 bring about a more social and 

 friendly intercourse between the two 

 associations and all others interested 

 in horticulture. The meeting was 

 opened by Neil Campbell, who ex- 

 tended a welcome to all. Addresses 

 were also made by Dr. Houghton of 

 Los Angeles; .1. J. Reeves of Rodeo 

 Nurseries: J. G. Morley, Los Angeles 

 City Park superintendent, and others. 

 The choir of the Los Angeles and 

 Pasadena German Singing Orchestra 

 was in attendance and rendered some 

 very fine songs, which made it all the 

 more lively. At the conclusion re- 

 freshments were served and a most 

 en.ioyable time was brought to an end.

 schedule of prizes for the annual ex- 

 hibition of this Society to be held at

 special prizes, of which we understand 

 there is a large and tempting list, will

 is good enough to make the rose grower 

 "sit up and take notice." First prize
