A PROMISING NEW ROSE. 



When Miss Sarah Hill claimed, 

 through the press, that their new rose, 

 Rose Queen, was better than Killarney 

 (the breadwinner) many people were 

 inclined to be skeptical. A. B. Scott 

 went to the trouble, however, of a 

 journey from Philadelphia to Indiana, 

 and on his return admitted the new 

 variety showed up in the most aston- 

 ishing way. So everyone was on the 

 qui vive on Tuesday night when Mr. 

 Hill e.xhibited this variety at the meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Club of Philadel- 

 phia. The writer was as eager to see 

 it as any, and he was, like everybody 

 else, delighted with the newcomer. It 

 is a magnificent flower— as big almost 

 as American Beauty and nearly the 

 same shape — with a most attractive 

 pink tint, far ahead of anything we 

 yet have in commercial roses. The 

 buds are long and pointed, one of the 

 most profitable qualifications in the 

 race for commercial supremacy. The 

 stem is fine, and Mr. Hill claims that 

 it not only holds the buds quite up- 

 right, but that it will produce high 

 grade blooms quicker and earlier than 

 any other rose on one-year-old plants. 

 Rose Queen is more double than Kil- 

 larney. It opens freely in dark weath- 

 er and its keeping qualities have 

 proved of the very finest — as the flow- 

 ers sent to various points at a dis- 

 tance have showed up in a most re- 

 markable manner. This rose looks to 

 us like one of the most promising of 

 the new things for forcing purposes.

OBITUARY. 



Mrs. William C. Smith. 

 One of the finest women the Lord 

 ever placed on this earth went to her 

 last long home on the 2nd inst, when 

 the wife of William C. Smith, the well- 

 known florist at 60th and Market 

 streets. Philadelphia, was laid to rest. 

 Age 3fi. Over three hundred carriages 

 were in the funeral procession, which 

 was a faint indication of the warm re- 

 gard in which she was held by her 

 neighbors. She was a helpmeet to her 

 spou.«e in the truest sense of the word 

 and the poignant grief and sense of 

 loss of those near and dear may be 

 more easily imagined than described. 

 We tender our most heartfelt condo- 

 lences to the bereaved family. A beau- 

 tiful life well spent— and alas! cut off 

 in the flower of womanhood!
