The Best That The 

 Future Has To Offer 



IT IS our custom to handle only varieties we believe to be worthy of a place in the best commercial 

 establishments. The new Roses we have offered in past seasons have made a reputation for them- 

 selves and the character of stock we have sent out has made an enviable reputation for oi§; firm. 

 ^We offer Killarney Brilliant in the belief that it is the coming standard of perfection. W£ have 

 arranged with the originators for eyes for grafting purposes. We can supply any quantity you may i^gauire. 



Killarney Brilliant 



A sport from Killarney, trrown in the open ground in England. 

 Killarney was introduced in 1898, and since then there have been so 

 many sports that Killarney has developed into a type rather than a 

 variety. Messrs. Alexander Dickson & Sons, the original intro- 

 ducers, are to be congratulated, sixteen years after the advent of 

 Killarney, in giving us now this distinct novelty which is undoubt- 

 edly the best of all varieties of this type. 



Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and the same 

 freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is twice as large, 

 having 25 to 40 full-sized petals. It will bo as useful for Summer 

 blooming as for Winter forcing. The color is a very brilliant pink 

 and varies like Killarney ; in bright weather it is almost crimson, 

 and in dull weather, when Killarney is so pale, it is as bright as 

 Killarney at its best. The sale of Killarney Brilliant a year before 

 its introduction has been larger than that of any other Rose ever 

 sent out in this country. 

 Grafted Plants, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen; $35.00 per 100; 

 $300.00 per 1000.

New Cmation Gloria^ 



(H. W. Field and A. N^r Pieraon, Inc.) 



In olTerlng this new Carnation to the trade, we offer what we 

 believe to be a paying commercial variety; strong in growth, 

 making a quantity of flowering shoots rather than wonderful 

 length of individual stems. In color, the brightest pink we have 

 ever seen in a carnation, and a color that will sell, which, com- 

 bined with good calyx, fair-sized bloom and great production, 

 makes this an attractive proposition to a man who knows Carna- 

 tions. 



Rooted Cuttings for December, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. 



Enchantress Supreme 



As the best of the Enchantress family it needs no description. 

 An improvement in color. In form of flower on a race of Carna- 

 tions that have stood the test of time. We have a large stock. 

 Rooted Cuttinirs for December and later, 

 $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.

OLEN COVE. N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 at Pembroke hall, September 10, with a 

 large attendance. President Brown oc- 

 cupied the chair. H. Powell was elected 

 to active membership and two appli- 

 cations were received. A letter was 

 read from the Pino-Lyptol Chemical 

 Co., New York, offering a special prize 

 for the fall show. 



Fruit and vegetables were the chief 

 exhibits of the evening and the deci- 

 sions of the judges were as follows: 

 First prize to G. Ashworth for best 

 melon; first to H. Boettcher for six 

 apples; first to F. Petroccia for corn; 

 honorable mention to H. Jones for mel- 

 ons; thanks of society to J. Robinson 

 for apples. 



The schedules for the dahlia show, 

 which is to be held October 8, were 

 distributed among those present. The 

 prizes are good and a successful exhibi- 

 tion is expected. J. M. 



Sherman, Tex. — The cooler weather 

 has been of much benefit to the stock 

 in the greenhouses of the Texas Nursery 

 Co., where A. F. Koehle is florist. The 

 poinsettias and chrysanthemums look 

 especially well and prospects for winter 

 business are excellent. 



Fort Wayne, Ind. — Miss R. A. Dos- 

 well, who has been successfully con- 

 ducting a retail store the last season, 

 and G, W. Doswell & Son, who have 

 been operating the greenhouses inde- 

 pendently, have combined, and both 

 places will be run under the firm name 

 of the Doswell Floral Co., of which G. 

 W. Doswell is president and Miss Dos- 

 well secretarytreasurer.'^'
