THE BEST RED CARNATION 



Plants in 8^-inch pots, ready for bench or field 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, 

 strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant 

 bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family. 



Price of Ziinch plints is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We wfll bill 500 at the 1000 rate

The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 April 22 issued Farmers' Bulletin No. 

 351, a pamphlet of ninety-six pages, that 

 will be of interest to nurserymen in the 

 east who specialize on peach. The title 

 of the bulletin is "The Terrapin Scale, 

 an Important Insect Enemy of Peach 

 Orchards." This pest is a serious one in 

 peach growing districts of Pennsylvania 

 and Maryland, but has not obtained much 

 of a foothold in other sections. The 

 purpose of the bulletin is to assist in 

 limiting its spread.

The Market. 



The writer has been so rushed with 

 business the last two or three weeks 

 that he has found it impossible to make 

 the weekly reports. Trade conditions 

 have been good all of that time, and 

 the demand for cut flowers has kept 

 up remarkably well for the season. 

 Easter brought the best business it has 

 ever given the city, as far as actual 

 dollars' worth of business was con- 

 cerned. There was a large supply of 

 everything in readiness for the day, 

 but I seldom have seen so complete a 

 clean-up of stock. The demand was 

 insistent early and late, and when 

 one thing was sold out something else 

 took its place. Naturally the trade is 

 interested to know what sold best and 

 whether there was any turning from the 

 old favorites to new favorites. This 

 would be hard to say from the experi- 

 ence here, for everything went in its 

 torn. [Lilies were the favorites, of 

 course, and many desired nothing else, 

 but there was not the usual feeling 

 that lilies are the only appropriate flow- 

 ers. Hydrangeas and tulips were even 

 used for church decorations. 



Spiraea was conspicuous by its absence. 

 Its day seems to be over in this city. 

 The trade do not take to it, apparently 

 for the reason that it will not last in 

 the homes of the buyers. Bamblar 

 roses in pots were in good demand and 

 were all sold at good prices. There was 

 a better assortment of varieties this 

 year than usual. Tausendschon seemed 

 to be the favorite. 



Now that Easter is over, bedding 

 plants are going out with a rush. Last
