The Florists' Review 



August 7, 1913. 



The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy 



seeds are all grown by myself and are offered in the following mixtures and 

 separate colors: 



KENILWORTH STRAIN— The flowers are of perfect form and substance: many 

 of the immense flowers are from 3^ to 4 Inches: it is a striking collection of beautiful 

 colors and markings, rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others 

 too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures. 



KENILWORTH SHOW— An extra fine steain of large flowers; the immense flow- 

 ers are of circular form and great substance ; a beautiful collection of oolors and markings. 



KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE-Is a distinct class by itself, sur- 

 passing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibition purposes, for inside or outside 

 growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems. 7 or 8 inches 

 long, in the most graceful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather well. 



MASTERPIECE— A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals giving the flower 

 a double appearance, its large flowers of great substance, on long, strong stem. 



ORCHID FLOWERED, Mixed— A dwarf free bloomer with a range of delicate 

 colors that do not exist in any other pansies, a remarkable combination of light rose, shell 

 pink, blush mauve, fawn, light biown, orange and chamois.

 excellent condition. Picking on the 

 earliest sorts will soon commence and 

 the height of the season will not be 

 reached until about October 1, when 

 late varieties will be in full bearing. 

 Early fall rains or an extra early frost 

 may cut into the crops, but present in- 

 dications are that full deliveries will be

DUTCH BULBS. 



The situation with regard to the bulb 

 crops in Holland is such that the Dutch 

 Bulb Exporters' Association, with head- 

 quarters at Haarlem, has issued a cir- 

 cular to inform the trade that the crop 

 is not expected to be up to the usual 

 standard. 



"Winter was exceptionally mild in 

 Holland," it is explained, "and conse- 

 quently growth was premature, fields 

 showing fine green foliage in January, In 

 the month of February the bulbs were 

 exposed to sharp frosts and hail storms, 

 which damaged the foliage to a great 

 extent; however, they recovered them- 

 selves well and in April flowered to 

 entire satisfaction. The month of May, 

 though, was exceptionally unfavorable, 

 on account of a period of intense heat. 

 The foliage turned yellow much too 

 soon and the growth was checked, espe- 

 cially of the hyacinths and tulips. Con- 

 sequently bulbs are smaller than usual 

 this season and the quantity of salable 

 bulbs much less than at first was an- 

 ticipated. 



"Buyer J of Dutch bulbs should bear 

 (these facts in mind in order to guido 

 'them in .iudging the sizeof bulbs, which 

 they will shortly receive. 



"As to the forcing quality, it is re-
