rows of petals, as it has been found 

 that the blooms with but one row do 

 not keep or pack well. They are very 

 brilliant and make a gorgeous show. 

 They are perhaps not so dependable 

 as the sturdy pompons for garden 

 planting, but some planters have had 

 excellent success with them. They 

 are all very superior as to foliage. 

 Supreme, one of last year's importa- 

 tions from England, is a glorious 

 crimson. Rose Walker, a bronze with 

 gradation to yellow at the base of the 

 petals, is very striking. Gladys Duck- 

 ham is a fine white. Bronze Bucking- 

 ham, which originated with B. W. 

 Fengar, at Irvington, N. J., stands in 

 the front rank as a commercial flower. 

 Many are still under number, for the 

 standard is now set so high that it is 

 wise to go slow on naming. It is no 

 exaggeration to say that Totty "has 

 the world beat" on this gayly colored 

 class of chrysanthemums. 



When inspecting these chrysanthe- 

 mums, we took opportunity for a 

 glance at the houses of E. G. Hill's 

 two new rose introductions — Colum- 

 bia and Premier. As our readers prob- 

 ably know, the former is Ophelia X 

 Mrs. Shawyer and the latter Ophelia x 

 Mrs. Russell. Both stand in the first 

 rank as commercial roses. Premier 

 is a deeper pink in color and perhaps 

 has the best of it in foliage, but grow- 

 ing in adjoining beds in the same 

 house they are equally objects of 

 luxuriant growth and bloom, and one 

 would be well satisfied with either 

 "were t'other fair charmer away." 

 Mr. Hill has something to be very 

 proud of in these two roses. 



FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES FOR 

 FRENCH WOUNDED. 



During the summer months several 

 Virginia garden clubs ^ave sold flow- 

 ers, fruits, and other produce, and con- 

 tributed their profits to the American 

 Fund tor the French Wounded. A 

 hall in the local market building was 

 hired in one town and the different 

 members have alternated in selling 

 from it. A small curb market was 

 utilized in another place. In each 

 nearly all of the products were donat- 

 ed by florists' and others, but some- 

 times half of the price has been re- 

 turned to the donor and the rest kept 

 for the fund. The home demonstra- 

 tion agent has had the planning and 

 general oversight. 



The December number of the Gar- 

 den Magazine, of which Leonard Bar- 

 ron is editor, will be a "Christmas and 

 Say-it-with-Flowers" number working 

 in concert with the S. A. F. movement 

 to make flowers more popular every- 

 where.

These leaves are prepared in our own factory. They are flexible, do not mould, 

 and are of a fine color. Cycas are very scarce, and we have been fortunate to have 

 some on hand. War conditions make it impossible at the present time to get 

 raw stock. On this account, Cycas Leaves in the future will be very scarce, 

 and the price must rise accordingly. Talse advantage of our low prices, while 

 we have some on hand.

WAX FLOWERS 



Mr. Florist :— Why don't you do the same as other successful florists are 

 doing ? Work in artificial Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas, Callas, Easter Lilies, etc., 

 along with your natural flowers in your floral pieces. No one can tell the differ- 

 ence between our artittcial flowers and the natural when worked in together. We 

 have spent a fortune in perfecting our artificial flowers so that they will look like 

 the natural. For vour own sake, just give us a trial order amounting to $10.00 or 

 $15.00. If the goods are not to your liking, return them at our expense In these 

 times of war, the best florists are using these flowers on account of the scarcity 

 and high prices of natural flowers.
