ABUTILON SIEBOLDI. 



Strange to say, we do not find this 

 desirable abutilon listed, by either 

 Nicholson or Bailey. All the abutilons 

 are attractive and popular, and few 

 plants are more easy to grow. The 

 variety Sieboldi is a favorite one for 

 Christmas sales with A. L. Miller, of

TWO BIG VIOLET PRIZES 



We are advised that Mrs. Alfred I. 

 duPont, Wilmington. Del., has made 

 arrangements for the management of 

 the International Flower Show of New 

 York city to offer two prizes for 

 White Violets, which is her favorite 

 flower, at the Spring Show of 1919. 

 Growers should take immediate steps 

 so as to compete for the following 

 prizes: 



1st, for the best bunch of double 

 White Violets, containing 150 or more 

 blooms, prize $50; 2nd, for the best 

 bunch of single White Violets, con- 

 taining 150 or more blooms, prize $50. 



Under the following rule?: Compe- 

 tition open to all. The violets' own 

 foliage to be used only for green. The 

 flowers to be judged by the following 

 distribution of points: Size and per- 

 fection of flower, GO per cent.; fra- 

 grance, 40 per cent. 



NOT A BAD IDEA. 

 Fresh flowers to be placed on her 

 grave every Sunday for 10 years are 

 provided for in the will of Tillie 

 Block, of Cincinnati. She provides a 

 fund of $2,500, the income to be used 

 to buy the flowers. The remainder of 

 her $25,000 estate is given to relatives.

 tograph. Cuttings taken now will 

 make nice holiday stock for next fall. 

 Plants require some pinching back to 

 keep them in compact shape. Florists 

 can unhesitatingly recommend the 

 abutilons to their customers who are 

 looking for good keeping plants, tor 

 they make easy subjects for house cul- 

 ture and bloom all season through.
