THE BUYING SEASON 



for Florists' Holiday Material and Standard Winter 



Indispensable Goods is now at its height. We have been, 

 are now, and expect to continue 



WORKING OVERTIME 



Fall trade this season is far beyond any previous years and the 

 quality and variety of the stock in our warerooms and coming in 

 from abroad fully warrants it. 



It would take pages innumerable to tell you all we have that you 

 should stock up on. Our catalogue tells all this in detail with 

 splendid half-tone illustrations. Send for it and see. 

 Don't wait until the last minute to order.

Washington and Balt'more Ladies. 



Mrs. George H. Cooko last week en- 

 tertained a delegation of the Ladies' 

 Auxiliary of Baltimore. The latter 

 were met at the railroad station by an 

 equal number of Washington ladies 

 and by them were escorted to the New 

 Ebbitt House, where a luncheon had 

 been prepared. Following this a sight- 

 g trip was taken. The matinee 

 was next on the program, upon the 

 -letion of which the ladies were 

 ready for dinner. The New Ebbitt 

 was again visited, and then a trip was 

 made to the Arcade where a bowling 

 contest between the Baltimore and 

 Washington teams took place. The 

 battle for supremacy was a spirited 

 one. but due to the fact that only 

 ladies were admitted to the alleys, the 

 outcome is unknown. Assisting Mrs. 

 Cooke was her daughter, Mis. Nudero- 

 manski, Mr? Elmer C. Mayberry, Mrs. 

 laffer and Mrs. Simonds. 

 The Baltimore guests were Mrs. 



CLEMATIS MONTANA VAR. RU- 

 BENS. 



The widely-distributed Clematis 

 montana is known as a very variable 

 plan). In the variety rubens, which 

 forms the subject of our cover page 

 illustration in this issue, we have un- 

 doubtedly not only the finest of all 

 the forms of C. montana, but really 

 the most strikingly beautiful of all 

 known clematises. It is hardier than 

 the type and distinct in every way. 

 The foliage is dark with an occasional 

 light gray band down the upper sur- 

 face of the leaf and reddish beneath. 

 The flowers are bright rose, borne in 

 clusters in the axils of the leaves on 

 the old wood. The color is unique in 

 the genus. This is one of the richest 

 of the gems discovered by E. H. Wil- 

 son in the mountains of China. 



A striking ornamental stove plant; 

 foliage dark green and silvery white.

 the boiler house of the Lakeview Rose

 the greenhouses were without heat, 

 but as the weather was mild the ap- 

 paratus was repaired in time to save 

 the crop.
