 stance, and nearly as large as Russell. Will produce more high grade flowers

Larger than Ophelia and with one-third more petals than 

 in that popular variety. Color in the bud stage an intense 



coral orange. When open a lovely shade of flesh pink. A free grower and 



heavy producer. 



COLUMBIA 



Peach-blow pink, a shade lighter than Shawyer. A large 

 rose and a heavy producer. The foliage is a pleasing deep 



green, the stems long and strong. One of the greatest and most promising 



among the newcomers.

COOPERATION. 



Some Remarks by Richard Vincent, Jr., at 



the Gardeners' Meeting in New York, 



November 8. 



There is no vocation, no profession, 

 but what is promoted by the co-opera- 

 tion of those engaged in it. Associa- 

 tion with those engaged in the same 

 pursuits, with common interests and 

 with mutual aims, is the watchword 

 of the day, whether it is the laborer 

 in the mine, the shop or factory, the 

 farmer in the field, physician, lawyer 

 or whatever calling man may engage 

 in, the first step toward independence, 

 advance, self-protection and defence 

 Is the union of segregated individuals 

 into a compact and mobile force whose 

 vital influence and efficient power may 

 be wielded as an energetic unit for the 

 good of all. Should the gardener be 

 an exception? 



, The effect upon a National Society 

 of a complete group of state societies, 

 selecting their most advanced, intel- 

 ligent and energetic members to send 

 each year to the annual sessions 

 would be: 



(1) To give it a representative 

 character and standing equal in dig- 

 nity and power to associations of oth- 

 er business and an efficiency not now 

 possessed by us.

(2) To enroll under its standard 

 those who are at present inert, luke- 

 warm or positively unfriendly. 



The influence upon the individual 

 might be counted as follows: 



(1) To stimulate to larger, broader 

 views, take him out of the local and 

 provincial field and widen his vision, 

 to consider his vocation in its na- 

 tional, even world-wide scope and to 

 promote the interchange of valuable 

 experiences, and inspire a spirit of co- 

 operation. 



(2) To bring him personal gains by 

 the advances necessarily secured 

 where a thousand rivulets, bringing 

 information, mutual aid, timely sug- 

 gestion and friendly co-operation will 

 give volume and momentum to the re- 

 sultant stream. 



Let us have a state society in every 

 state and a tributary local club in 

 every town and neighborhood where 

 numbers will allow, — all links In a sen- 

 tient chain, each one necessary to the 

 completeness, strength, efficiency and 

 force of the National body, which, 

 thoroughly representative in compo- 

 sition and character, material and 

 aims, will give us greater eminence 

 among other organizations, honored 

 and applauded for good work through- 

 out the land. Remember the fable of 

 the bundle of arrows, each easily 

 broken of itself, but once bound to- 

 gether, beyond any force to disrupt. 

 Let us recognize and remember that, 

 with gardeners and florists, as with 

 every other profession and pursuit, 



however lowly or however exalted, 

 union there is strength."
