NEW SINGLE VARIETIES. 



Thi (*) before the name Indicates good commercial varieties. 



♦ELIZABETH FIRESTONE. (A. N. Plerson, Inc.) This bright 

 Jpinli seedling has appealed to the commercial grower and to the 

 (store-man as a valuable and much-needed acquisition. The stems 

 are strong and carry the flowers well. This characteristic must not 

 be overlooked In growing flowers for market. It comes Into flower 

 from November 15th to 20th, which is after Mrs. W. E. Buckingham 

 and iust before Mrs. E. D. Godfrey is ready to cut. 

 Rooted Cuttings, $1.00 per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1,000 

 2V4-inch pots, 1.25 per doz.; 8.00 per 100 



•MKS. E. M. HORNE. (Home- A. N. Plerson, Inc.) Light, bronze- 

 I yellow shaded old-gold. The flowers, which are flat in form, are pro- 

 Jduced in good-sized graceful sprays which bunch well. Growth vig- 

 orous and erect. Matures Nov. 5th to 10th. 



214-Inch pots, $1.60 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 



MOLLY WHITMORE. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) Deep, golden-bronze, 

 effectively suffused with terra-cotta; distinct, deep yellow center. 

 The well-formed flower carries three rays of petals, which incurve 

 slightly. This is a desirable trait where they are subject to ship- 

 ping conditions or considerable handling. The growth being erect 

 In character, this variety may be planted closer than the more 

 branching kinds. 



2^-inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 



PEGGY BULKELEY. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) We consider this new 

 variety one of the prettiest in our entire collection. The color is a 

 soft, yet luminous, pink, changing as the flower matures to a delicate 

 mauve-pink. The blooms are large, averaging four rays of petals, 

 which recurve gracefully from a golden-yellow center. The growth 

 Is vigorous and erect, producing large sprays, which show the indi- 

 vidual flowers to the best possible advantage. An ideal cut-flower 

 or pot-plant variety. Matures Nov. 10th to 15th. 



2%-inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100

EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR OUTDOOR 



GROWING. 



The question of hardiness in the Chrysanthem.um family is such 

 that to call these hardy, as we have formerly done, is unfair, be- 

 cause so much depends upon the character of the soil and the 

 drainage. Too much covering in winter has ruined more plants 

 than a cover of any kind has saved. Some firms class these as 

 Decorative varieties. Several in the list do well indoors, as among 

 the Pompons and Singles there are those which do well outdoors. 

 The varieties listed have larger blooms than the large-flowered 

 Pompons, unless otherwise described.

donna, standard Tausendschoen roses, 

 laburnums, large specimens of Erica

 large pots of Lilium candidum. Business 

 done at this store beat all previous 

 records. 



Andrew Christenseii, of Stoneham, 

 Mass., had a large cut of Delphinium 

 Belladonna, which he lifted late last 

 fall and planted in a solid bed in a 

 carnation temperature. Among carna- 

 tions, he had especially fine Matchless, 

 Ward, Pink Delight and Laddie. Among 

 other flowers, he had excellent Keystone 

 snapdragons— he finds seedlings shorter 

 and cleaner than cuttings — calendulas 

 and sweet peas. 



Samuel Wax says that the telephone 

 tie-up did not seem to hurt business with 

 Wax Bros. Customers who usually tele- 

 phone orders came out and made per- 

 sonal selections, and usually bought 

 more than they would have done in the 

 old way. Wax Bros, did a splendid 

 Easter business. 



The B. A. Snyder Co. had no trouble in 

 clearing out its heavy shipments of cut 

 Bermuda lilies. The cellar contained 

 hardly a flower April 18. This concern 

 also did a large business in roses, carna- 

 tions, orchids and other flowers. 



The WabaH Rose Conservatories had 

 an excellent lot of roses, including Mrs. 

 Bayard Thayer, Eussell, Hadley and 



Stanley, which realized top market 

 prices. 



James J. Casey, a prominent Boston 

 retailer operating The Rosery, at 549 

 Boylston street, was found guilty in the 

 Central Police court, April 16, of as- 

 saulting Miss Mary O'Brien, an em- 

 ployee. Miss O'Brien testified that her 

 employer slapped her face, held her by 

 the throat and threw her against an 

 ice chest, causing bruises which had 

 to be treated by a physician. The case 

 was continued, sentence to be pro- 

 nounced later. 



P. Welch says that his company never 

 did so good an Easter business as this 

 year, in spite of the lack of all telephone
