Notes. 

 The Chicago Carnation Co.'s base 



ball !■ loi i Oral game Sunday, 



19 to 16, the Washington street team 

 ol Joliej being the victors. 



The Chicago florists are not neglect- 

 ing to bowl. Their team for the con- 

 on is doing good work and is full 

 of enthusiasm, which is half the game. 



The Chicago Florists' Club picnic 

 proved a success financially as well as 

 socially, notwithstanding the rain, and 

 at i he regular meeting of the club, 

 Aug. 3, the members heard a full re- 

 port from the committee. 



Walter J. Pilcher, J. J. Beneke and 

 William C. Smith visited the Belleville 

 florists last Wednesday. On their ar- 

 rival they were taken by A. S. Hal- 

 Bted, president of the St. Clair Floral 

 Co. in his automobile, to the plants 

 Of E. W. Guy, A. G. Fehr. Gust G 

 sart, West End Floral Park and the 

 St. Clair Floral Co. The party re- 

 ported that all the places were in tip- 

 top shape for the fall and winter sea- 

 son. An automobile ride throughout 

 the city seeing all the sights wound 

 up at the Elks Club for a late dinner 

 at the mercy of Mr. lialsted and Mr. 

 Smith, who were the only elks in the 

 party. 



SOME NEW THINGS. 



a Pap lie Hill before Che (HI 



nols State Florists 1 Association 



As the Rose has "right of way" by 

 general consent I will begin by con- 

 sidering a few new varieties both Eu- 

 ropean and American which have re- 

 cently come under my notice. 



Juliet (Win. Paul & Son i is unques- 

 tionably the finest and most distinct 

 of all new roses — It is a garden variety 

 of strong growth, making heavy up- 

 right canes and has the good quality 

 of flowering throughout the season. 

 The color is a marvel of glistening 

 yellow, crimson and pink. This va- 

 riety should make not only a Bne rose 

 for the garden, but a beautiful market 

 pot plant. It has a strong infusi. 

 Austrian copper or Persian somewhere 

 lineage. 



Edward Mawley (McGredy). This 

 magnificent rose was pronounced by 

 all who saw it at the National Rose 

 Show at Regent's Park as being the 

 finest of all the Hybrid Teas. 

 It is a glowing velvety crimson of 

 shapely form, and good texture. If 

 this variety will force it will be a fine 

 addition to our winter-flowering sorts. 

 No rose of recent years has had such 

 a warm reception as was accorded 



i bj the English puhlii 

 named for Mr. Edward Mawley, the 

 eminent secretary of the National So- 

 ciety, it is worthy of trial under glass. 



Rayon d'Or (Pernet) is one of the 

 most wonderful advances in color 

 among the recently introduced roses 

 and as seen growing by the thousands 

 at Lyons, France, in the raiser's gar- 



i distinct Pernettiana varti 

 in habit, free flowi i Ing, with a 

 ancj in i's yellow ground 

 hardly possibli 

 it is frequently marbled and flaked 

 i i tly proud 



oduction of his. li, lmv. 

 .lining the Hybrid Austrian 

 d It remains to be seen 

 • her or not it will hold its foliage 

 in our climate 



lutj de Lyon (Pernet) was the 

 Paris gold medal last 

 and i notably strong growing hy- 

 brid. This and Juliet should, on ac- 

 ..iiint oi \traordinary vigor, 



make good garden varieties. The color 

 . i al red, shading to yellow; a very 

 strong heavy grower with ample foli- 

 age and a flower large, full and globu- 

 lar; a magnificent bedder. 



Jonkeer I. L. Mock hails from Hol- 

 land and Is .me of the strongest in the 

 laiuih ; it outgrows every other va- 

 riety on our benches, and is constantly 

 sending up heavy bottom breaks, each 

 topped with a glorious flower in two 

 tones of color, fiery red within, the 

 nut side of petals silvery', rosy white. 

 Of fine rounding form: one of the larg- 

 est in size; a grand rose. Awarded 

 eight prizes in Europe. 



Miss Alie. do Rothschild. This is 

 one of the Alexander Dickson varie- 

 ties and as viewed in the nurseries at 

 New iiiwnards looked like a veritable 

 ilwait Marecbal Neil. This should 

 make a tine bedding or garden rose in 

 this particular line of color, nothing 

 being in greater demand than a deep 

 yellow rose of fine rounded form for 

 the border. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward is a rose that 

 compels admiration; first of all it is a 

 vers free grower, producing very 

 handsome glossy foliage in great pro- 

 fusion, which it holds grandly when 

 bedded out, it is one of the freest va- 

 rieties thai we know, and throws good 

 long canes readily; Admiral Ward, the 

 ■st amateur rose-grower in the 

 country, names it as one of the six 

 best bedders in our trying American 

 climate; In the greenhouse it is a mar- 

 vel of beauty, for beside having great 

 strength of constitution, beauty and 

 profusion of foliage, it forces readily, 

 is extremely free, can be cut very 

 tor shipment, and opens beauti- 

 fully; the color is a deep orange yel- 

 low seen in no other rose and it de- 

 velopa into a large rosette-shaped 



. glow ing orange in the ( i 

 shading to a medium yellow on the 

 edges; you all know of its popularity 

 in the Bast; it will soon be found In 

 ev.ry forcing establishment. 



Another aspirant for favor in the 

 yellow class is Robert Scott & Sons' 

 i>. which is being accorded a 

 very nice reception by the trade; it i- 

 notable for its freedom as a forcing 

 ty, and for its good color. Yellow 

 will soon become as popular among 

 as among chrysanthemums, 

 Down in handsome 

 form and size we can all remember 

 day when Marechal Nell and, 

 Perle des Jardins, were the 

 popular of cut roses, and a din- 

 ner was lacking in elegance without 

 Sunrise, Sunset and Joseph 

 H.il would still be fine property for 

 the cut-flower man if only they could 

 be grown at a profit. 



The Double Killarneysare awaken- 

 ing interest and will be found most
