only a few feet iii Iciij^tli, and to call 

 it a hedge is certainly going tlie limit 

 in hedges. 



So far as I have seen and known them 

 from Boston to Florida, 1 have never 

 seen a specimen of either of these va- 

 rieties of any age that would induce 

 me to plant them except as a curiosity 

 or as one in a collection. There are e.\- 

 ceptions to nearly all rules and there 

 may be exceptions in the case of tins 

 cryptomeria and cnnninghamia, but my 

 experience is they are most unsatisfac- 

 torv if ixit a total failure.

The Market. 



Bi'sincss during the last week has 

 been brisk, and apparently the Lenten 

 season has had little or no effect on 

 flower buving. There has been good 

 decorative work for weddings and couii- 

 ter trade has been brisk. Funeral work 

 has been heavy, especially in large 

 pieces, such as blankets and wreaths. 

 The supplv of stock is unusually goo.l, 

 owing to the bright weather and mod- 

 erated temperature. There is a great 

 varietv in cut flowers and blooming 

 plants"' at present. Bulbous stock pre- 

 dominates. Prices are unusually higli. 

 Lilacs are bringing $0 per dozen retail. 

 Tulips, jonquils and Paper White !iar- 

 cissi bring H pcr hundred wholesale; 

 freesias, $'.i per hundred, wholesale, and 

 75 cents per dozen retail. Violets bring 

 $2 and $3 per hundred retail; carnations, 

 $4 and $5 i>er hundred. Koses are of 

 exceptionally good quality, but the suj)- 

 ply, while good, is not large enough to 

 meet the demand. Blooming plants in- 

 clude rhododendrons, azaleas, lilacs, 

 cyclamens, primroses and bulbous stock. 

 The demand for these is excellent. 



Various Notes. 



The February meeting of the Fort 

 Wavnc Florists' Club, which was post- 

 poned on account of the boiler explosion 

 at the F. J. Knecht range, was held 

 February 122, at the Knecht greenhouses. 

 Tliere was a large attendance. The con- 



Do It Now! 



Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need 

 for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be 

 scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and thfi 

 demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over JOO.OcO grafted 

 Roses in the last two weeks. We have 2C0.000 more to sell. There is considerable 

 building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses' is a frequent expla- 

 nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be 

 your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At 

 Cromwell the large Quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get 

 scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able 

 to say "yes" to your inquiry, Estimate your requirements and write us.

New Red Rose DONALD MacDONALD 



A New HAWLMARK Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Diikson & Sons 



We have'tested this rose for winter forcing for two years, and with us it produces 

 more red roses during the winter than any rose we have ever grown. It is not a large rose, 

 but has perfectly formed, medium-sized flowers that sell at sight. Color bright orange- 

 carmine; will not turn blue, because the base of the petals is orange. It is not a summer 

 rose, as it has the same substance as Killarney. We build the plants up until November, 

 and from Thanksgiving until May it is a money-maker for the Rose Grower, as no pinch- 

 ing is necessary.
