A SUPERB NEW BEGONIA. 



New Lorraine Sport. 



The difference between the new Be- 

 gonia Florence Davenport and the old 

 type of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine 

 from which it sported at the green- 

 houses of A. M. Davenport, Watertown, 

 Mass., is convincingly shown in the ac- 



companying pictures. The photographs 

 were taken at the same time, the 

 plants being of the same age and 

 grown along under identical condi- 

 tions in the same house. The flowers 

 are as large as those of Cincinnati. 



Oi.u Type Lorraine. 



deeper in color than either Cincinnati 

 or Lorraine, the leaves very thick and 

 leathery and the habit of the plant so 

 sturdy and short jointed that less 

 staking is required than in any other 

 begonia of this type. 



PRINCE E. C. DE ARENBERG. 



Among new rose claimants for favor 

 the one we here illustrate has all the 

 elements and promise of popularity. Its 

 color is vivid crimson, pure and lumi- 

 nous and as to stem and foliage no 

 rose can excel it and few can equal its 

 broad, massive, dark green leaves. 

 From personal experience, we know 

 the blooms to be long-keepers retain- 

 ing their purity of tone to the last. 

 This rose, which is of European origin, 

 is being introduced to the American 

 trade by S. J. Reuter. Inc.. and C. H. 

 Totty, by whom it has been given a , 

 thorough and convincing test as to its 

 growing and producing qualities. It 

 Tias been well received wherever 

 shown. John Young has the sale of 

 the cut blooms in the New York mar- 

 ket. 



NEW WHITE CARNATION MATCH- 

 LESS. 

 This latest introduction by the Cot- 

 tage Gardens Company is. like other 

 varieties emanating from that concern, 

 a superb production, the very acme of 

 •carnation improvement and eminently 

 worthy of the position of honor we ac- 

 cord to it on our front cover page this 

 week. Its excellent qualities of form 

 and habit are well shown in the pic- 

 ture. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florist Club will take place on Monday 

 evening. December 8. J. Austin Shaw 

 for the essay committee promises talks 

 by L. W. C. Tuthill on "Advertising, 

 the Gasoline of Business"; Max 

 Schling on "Successful Advertising" 

 and Leonard Barron on "Advertising, 

 Pure and Simple."
