seeds are all grown by myself and are offered In the following mixtures and sepa- 

 rate colors: 



22— KENILWORTH STRAIN— The flowers are of perfect form and substance; many

 hogany and many others too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark 

 Mixtures.

 flowers are of circular form and great substance; a beautiful collection of colors 

 and markings.

 passing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibition purposes, for inside 

 or outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the foliage on 

 heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long, in the most graceful manner, and stand the 

 hot, dry weather well.

 double appearance, large flowers of great substance, on long, strong stem.

 large and of circular form and of great substance. The display of coloring is 

 unsurpassed. A combination of almost every shade of rich velvety colors, reds 

 are particularly conspicuous; the petals being distinctly marked with three of 

 five large dark blotches.

other branches o( horticulture, than to 

 join hands with the S. A. F. & 0. H. as 

 a society. This great society is broad 

 in scope, and it has a charter made to 

 suit these very purposes. The times 

 are here to combine; teamwork is what 

 is needed. Horticulture does not pro- 

 duce multi-millionaires, our means are 

 all moderate, so as individuals we may 

 not amount to much, but we are strong 

 in numbers. If we could only forget 

 for once our special interests and feel 

 more as a horticulturist in the broad- 

 est sense of the word, we would then 

 soon get together on a basis of mutual 

 benefit. Horticulture united will put 

 all on a higher plane of life, from the 

 humble private gardener to the most 

 exalted position in horticulture. 



All who go to Boston will have a 

 chance to vote on affiliation either one 

 way or the other. Other members who 

 cannot be there and think favorably of 

 afiaiiation, please send me a letter with 

 just these words: "I am in favor of 

 afflliatiou" and your name. I will 

 make the most of it, and this holds 

 good of any man in business, in any 

 branch of horticulture, whether nur- 

 seryman, seedsman, private gardener, 

 send me just those few words. The 

 Stronger the effort, the quicker the re- 

 sults. You don't need to be a member 

 of the S. A. F. to show your sentiments 

 towards affiliation. It may turn out to 

 be the straw to show how the wind 

 blows. Do it now.

• A SPECIAL EXHIBITION. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety has arranged for a special plant 

 and flower show at Horticultural Hall, 

 Boston as a compliment to the Societ.v 

 of American Florists, on Tuesday, 

 Wednesday and Thursday of Conven- 

 tion week. It is hoped that the sensa- 

 tional exhibit of caladiums which was 

 made by Mr. Marlborough of the Proc- 

 tor Estate last week may be again se- 

 cured as a feature. 



We were shown flower spikes of the 

 gladiolus stock referred to in the ad- 

 vertisement of Charles Millang in this 

 paper and must say we have never 

 seen finer blooms — the stalks averag- 

 ing three to four feet in height. Pink 

 Beauty and America were fine. 



STANDARD POT RECORDS. 



We are pleased to learn that after 

 these many years an original copy of 

 the standard flower pot committee's 

 report at the convention in Boston. 

 1890. together with complete diagrams 

 and measurements of all sizes has at 

 last been found. The S. A. F. and the 

 trade are indebted to Mr. Hall of A. H. 

 Hews Company, Cambridge, who un- 

 earthed it and has kindly placed it in 

 the hands of J. K. M. L. Farquhar and 

 Thomas Roland for the society to 

 make such use of it as may seem de- 

 sirable. 



A special delegation from the Flor- 

 ists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode 

 Island is scheduled to attend the Con- 

 vention on Wednesday. 19th. 



Convince yourself 

 sending six cents 

 for a sample 

 post paid.
