 objections to the registration, the 

 same will be made three weeks from

"Lena Baum" — Sport from Chas. 

 Rager, or Chas. Razer. Color light 

 yellow, Jap. incurved. A better 

 grower and larger flower than its 

 parent and considered one of the best 

 yellow commercial varieties of its 

 kind. It is practically perfect in 

 form, finish, stem and foliage, and is 

 a very easy grower. 



Public notice is hereby given that, 

 as no objections have been filed to 

 the registration of the fern "Pteris 

 Krinkeii," by Henry Krinke & Son, of 

 St. Paul, Minn., same becomes com-

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB. 



This club held a very interesting 

 meeting last Thursday afternoon. 

 After the regular routine business the 

 spring flower show came up for dis- 

 cussion, after which it was voted to 

 place the matter in the hands of the 

 publicity committee and report their 

 action at the next regular club meet- 

 ing. Secretary Beneke read a letter 

 from President-elect Theo. Wirth, of 

 the S. A. F., asking for the selection 

 of names suitable for state vice-presi- 

 dents. It was decided that this be left 

 in the hands of the trustees. Dr. Geo. 

 T. Moore, director of the Missouri Bo- 

 tanical Garden was on motion elected 

 an honorary member of the club. Sec- 

 retary Beneke announced a few de- 

 linquent members and it was moved 

 to allow them one more month time 

 to pay before being dropped. 



Robert J. Windier, as a representa- 

 tive of the Retail Florists' Association, 

 asked the club to co-operate with them 

 in asking the local wholesale florists 

 not to publish their names in the 

 classified list of the telephone direc- 

 tory. This brought forth a big dis- 

 cussion and the proposition was 

 voted down as -the Florist Club was . 

 composed of members in all branches 

 of the trade and the Retail Association 

 only of retailers. 



John Held, a local grower, showed 

 a vase of new pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums. A bunch of 50 carnation Phil- 

 adelphia was sent for staging but 

 came in such poor condition the trus- 



Salvia Greggii 



NEW, HARDY 



EV6RBLOOMING 



REP FLOWERING 



SHRUB 



A Native of tJie Cold, Arid Mountains of West Texas 



Extremely hardy. Has withstood a temperature of ten degrees below 

 zero. Is a great drouth resister. It flourishes and blooms profusely in the 

 liottest and driest weather. It is as near an everblooming plant as we have 

 ever seen. It begins to bloom in early Spring soon after growth commences. 

 The blossoms literally cover the plant for two months or more. Then for a 

 few months it does not bloom so freely, but is perhaps never without some 

 flowers. In the Fall it puts on another full crop of blossoms that continue till 

 long after the early frosts have set in. It requires a liilling freeze to checls 

 its flowering. 



The color is an indescribable lovely shade of red. It is a darli, soft cerise 

 crimson, much the color of a well-grown American Beauty Rose. It has none 

 of the harsh, glaring shades of the Salvia splendens. The beautiful color is 

 perhaps the most attractive feature of this novelty. 



It is a hard-wooded shrub. Grows three to four feet high and three to 

 four feet wide in a compact globe, very full and neat in appearance. It is 

 lieautiful when massed in a solid bed. and is as useful as the Spiraea Van 

 Houttci for bordering shrub beds. It is not so tall, but is as compact and 

 graceful as the Spiraea, and in addition it is a blaze of besutiful red nearly 

 all the season. 



The very important question as to where it will grow has not been fully 

 demonstrated, though we are fully convinced it will succeed in nearly every 

 State of the Union. Young plants in Philadelphia, Pa.; Lexington, Mass.; 

 North Abington, Mass., and Parsons, Kansas, went through last Winter in 

 the open ground without protection. We have never heard of their being 

 damaged by cold weather anywhere, but we do not linow of their being ex- 

 posed to anything colder than ten degrees below zero.

A HARDY SALVIA. 



Last year we had occasion to men- 

 tion approvingly Salvia Greggii, a hardy 

 species from Texas. Messrs. Baker 

 Bros., who are advertising this prom- 

 ising garden plant in this issue have 

 a letter from W. H. Wyman of the Bay 

 State Nurseries, North Abington, 

 Mass., stating that it had been given a 

 trial as to hardiness and the crowns 

 had lived through last winter satisfac- 

 torily in a somewhat sheltered posi- 

 tion.
