Great News 

 For 1911 



Introductory 



The Baltimoreans promise to give the 

 members of the S. A. F. one of the most suc- 

 cessful conventions ever held. Those attend- 

 ing cannot but realize the wonderful value 

 these conventions are, with their splendid lec- 

 tures, interesting ta ks, discussions and trade 

 exhibits. Aside from these, the value of the 

 personal talks with the big men of our pro- 

 fession are often worth the trip. Always some- 

 thing to learn — their opinions on this subject 

 or that, the merits of some of the new intro- 

 ductions in carnations, roses or other flowers, 

 and how best to handle them. A novelty 

 whether it is in the flower line or in some other 

 branch of the business always proves interest- 

 ing to everyone. 



Our Exhibit 



Our exhibit at Baltimore will be one of the finest ever staged, containing many 

 things new in ribbons, supplies, and florists' accessories. 



New Roses For 1912 



In addition to these, we will have a splendid display of cut flowers, fresh each day, of 

 the new roses, Double White Killarney and Killarney Queen, originated by The Bud- 

 long Rose Co., and which are to be disseminated jointly by The S. S. Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co. and A. N. Pierson, Inc. (in the Spring of 1912.) 



DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY with its stronger, more vigorous growth , larger 

 and heavier flowers, double the petalage, and purer white is a tremendous improve- 

 ment over White Killarney, and is sure to be a money maker to all who buy, not only 

 for winter forcing, but for summer growing. We recommend it as being the best and 

 grandest commercial White Rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an improvement 

 over Kaiserin that there is no question about its replacing Kaiserin in that connection. 

 At this writing it is three or four times as large as White Killarney. 



KILLARNEY QUEEN is about three shades darker than Pink Killarney, and 

 during dark and cloudy weather the color does not fade, but remains a bright, deep, 

 rich pink. It is of very much more vigorous growth than Killarney, 

 even a stronger grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about twice as large 

 as Pink Killarney, about the same petalage, and borne on tremendously heavy 

 long stems, larger and heavier foliage. Many consider this rose in the American Beauty 

 class, its habit, growth, and size are so vigorous and far ahead of Pink Killarney. 



Welcome to Visitors 



We will be glad to have visitors make our exhibit their headquarters at any or all 

 times during the Convention, where they will find Mr. Fancourt and his assistants glad 

 t<> welcome them.
