WE ARE HEADQUARTERS FOR THE 



RIGHT STOCK OF WHITE KILLARNEY 



There are other white sports of Killarney, but we consider the stock which 

 we offer — the WABAN variety — superior to all others 



When You Buy From Us 



You get stock of the variety exhibited by us and the Waban Rose Conservatories this Fall, which was awarded 

 the silver cup at the National Flower Show at Chicago, and which, wherever exhibited, has received the high- 

 est commendation. It undoubtedly is 



The Best White Rose Ever Introduced 



Our attention was called to this rose last winter, and recognizing its great value as soon as we saw it, we 

 purchased half the stock. We are growing it in large quantities in our Scarborough greenhouses, and will be 

 glad to have any one interested in it visit us and see it growing. 



The large growers, instantly recognizing its value, have placed orders for large quantities, so that our ad- 

 vance orders are very large, and the demand promises to be very heavy, judging by the number of orders al- 

 ready booked; but we have enough stock either potted or rooted to fill advance orders, and can still promise 

 early delivery of all orders received now. 



Order at Once to Ensure Early Delivery 



Orders will be filled in rotation as booked, delivery beginning March ist, 1909. 



Strong Plants, 2 1-2 in. pots, own-root, $30.00 per IOO; 250 for 



$70.00; 500 for $125.00; 1000 for $250.00 



Grafted Plants, $5.00 per 100 additional

of what was staged, for they were as 

 fine a lot as I ever looked at, and it 

 was no cinch to tell whose was the 

 best for they were all fine. A feature 

 of the exhibition was that it was to 

 be open Sunday so as to give every- 

 one a chance to see it. I understand 

 the Garage Building, where it was 

 held, was given free by its public- 

 spirited proprietors.

 and Wm. Barclay; Herbert Spavins, 

 manager. Mr. Spavins was a busy 

 man, not only in his official capacity, 

 but his home was thrown open to 

 guests and visitors, and those of us 

 who were fortunate enough to pai take 

 of his hospitality will remember him 

 and the hostess for many a day. R.

A NOTABLE EVENT FOR 1910. 



The greatest exhibition of orchids 

 ever given on this continent will un- 

 doubtedly materialize from the plaus 

 being perfected by the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society for an orchid 

 show to be held in the latter part of 

 May, 1910, at Horticultural Hall, Bos- 

 ton. A prize of $1000 for group of or- 

 chids and many other prizes, unusually 

 liberal, with a large number of gold 

 and silver medals, are expected to 

 bring out a big response from foreign 

 as well as American growers of high 

 repute. A year and a half for prepara- 

 tion for such a notable event is con- 

 sidered none too much.
