^HE FACT that we have in the past seven years built up the largest Cut Flower Box 

 business in the Country is our best adyertisement. We strive to please and the results 

 speak for themselves. 



"WHEN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE THEM" 



is still our slogan. 

 We manufacture and carry in stock for prompt shipment: Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Mist 

 Tan, White Carnation and our popular Favorite grade— the latter a most satisfactory telescope 

 shipping box. Holiday boxes in season. We make special sizes promptly and at reasonable 

 charge, and specialize in attractive and up-to-date printing and embossing. 



With our increased facilities we aim to make our service the best in our line, and if you are in the market it will pay you to wai t 

 for the "Climax" Salesman, or send for late price list and samples to nearest office: 111 Milk bt.. Boston; 2914 11th St., N. W., Wash-

making $4 to $6 per hundred. Roses are 

 somewhat easier, as well as violets. 

 Lilies, stevias. Paper Whites and calen- 

 dulas are rather slow. With continued 

 cold weather, supplies are being curtailed 

 and a good market for some time ahead 

 seems assured. 



Various Notes. 



W. R. Nicholson had a grand Christ- 

 mas pick of carnations. He especially 

 likes Alice, Matchless and Pink Delight. 

 Prom a large batch of Alice planted as 

 late as September 2 he has already aver- 

 aged six flowers per plant, showing how 

 profusely this variety blooms. Mr. 

 Nicholson has a specially fine strain of 

 winter-flowering wallflowers and of 

 these he had many for the holidays; also 

 freesias, Godfrey callas and marguerites. 



Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, 

 says that Carnation Nancy improves 

 with him as the season advances. Par- 

 ticularly good are Matchless, Alice, Pink 

 Delight, Champion and Beacon. For 

 Christmas he also had wallflowers, calen- 

 dulas, heliotropes, stevias and mar- 

 guerites. 



The New England Florists ' Supply Co. 

 reports a record-breaking Christmas 

 trade in greenery, baskets and other 

 Christmas supplies. The establishment 

 of this concern has been an extremely 

 busy place of late. 



William Sim, of Cliftondale, had a 

 heavy pick of high-grade carnations for 

 the holidays; also a fine lot of polyan- 

 thus, roses, sweet peas and asparagus. 



The oflScers and employees of H. M. 

 Robinson & Co. presented the senior 

 member of the firm, Henry M. Robinson, 

 with a handsome leather easy chair De- 

 cember 20, on the twentieth anniversary 

 of his marriage. The gift came as a 

 complete surprise to Mr. Robinson and 

 was greatly appreciated. 



Patrick Welch says Christmas trade 

 with him was splendid. I noted here 

 some fine English primroses, gardenias, 

 cattleyas, American Beauties and sweet 

 peas. 



John Barr is one of our finest growers 

 of carnations. He reduced his number 

 of varieties this season and now grows 

 chiefly Matchless, Pink Delight, Ward, 

 Good Cheer and Champion. He had 

 12,000 flowers for the holidays.
