THE BOSTON VIOLET 



The people today are looking for New Violets just as much as they are for new roses 



or carnations. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET 



For the past two years has been placed before the most sceptical buyers in America 



and they prefer it to any other. 



THERE'S A REASON 



The Boston Violet is the largest, the most fragrant, it has a very pleasing color, 



and it is a great keeper. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET 



Is a variety that is early grown, it is the strongest grower and is in crop from September 



to May. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET 



Was awarded a First Class Certificate of Merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 and a Report of Superior Merit by the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston. 



Distribution will Commence in April. Order Now, 



PRICES- $2 Qer 12; $12 per 100; $100 per iOOO.

FOUR BEST ZONAL GERANIUMS. 



H. L. Cameron, who has been grow- 

 ing geraniums at North Cambridge for 

 the Boston marliet for the past twenty- 

 four years and whose stock has high 

 repute, gives as the best varieties for 

 bedding and general use and for out- 

 selling all others, S. A. Nutt dark scar- 

 let, Alphouse Ricard vermilion scar- 

 let, Beaute Poitevine salmon pink, and 

 Mme. Jaulin apple blossom pink. 

 These are all Bruants, semi-double, 

 and although he has a great number of 

 other sorts under cultivation these 

 constitute the great bulk of his stock. 

 Among the newer varieties he men- 

 tions Fleuve Blanc, a pure white 

 Bruant of 1905, and Mrs. Lawrence, 

 salmon and white, as likely to take 

 a high position in the list as soon as 

 their splendid qualities for bedding 

 purposes become better known. 



English-grown hybrid rhododendrons 

 all the Y/ay from 1 1-2 feet high to 5 

 feet siiecimens that have been win- 

 tered liere without protection for two 

 years are offered by the Eastern Nur-
