ITS OWN SALESMAN , 



• Greenwich, Conn., April 30, 1914. 

 Mr. G. S. Ramsburg, 



Dear Sir : Will yon please send me three packets of seed of your Silver Pink 

 Snapdragon, for which money order Is Inclosed. I wish to state that I bought my 

 seed from you last year, and It certainly turned out splendid. I planted two large 

 benches and have been cutting since Xmas, and they now are a perfect mass of bloom. 

 Several of my gardener friends have admired the beds and they Intend sending their 

 orders to you this season. 



Yours faithfully, Benjamin Disley, 



Supt. to J. H. Flagley, Esq. 



The above is another boost for the one great money-making snap- 

 dragon. There are others, and some good ones, but RAMSBURG'S SEED- 

 LING SILVER PINK has the field for productiveness — two blossoms to 

 one of any variety in existence. Its color is soft and delicate — that silvery 

 sea shell pink that sells first wherever a snapdragon is wanted. It is the 

 abiding shade of pink, not an apology for the color. 



Plants at $3.00 per 100; $20.00 per i;000. Seed $1.00 per pkt; 3 for $2.50; 

 7 for $5.00. All orders cash or C. O. D.

W. A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, has just 

 finished his Dutch bulbs for the season. 

 He has a grand lot of ten weeks ' stocks 

 for Memorial day and is now busy with 

 geraniums and other bedding plants. 



Do not forget the meeting of the 

 ■Gardeners' and Florists' Club May 19, 

 with the lecture by Prof. F. W. Bane, 

 on "Forestry in Massachusetts and 

 Abroad," illustrated with stereopticon 

 views. S. A. F. and other important 

 matters will come up for discussion, and 

 3, large attendance is hoped for. 



C. L. Pierce, of Holbrook, is sending 

 in a nice lot or large-flowered gladioli to 

 Lester H. Mann. 



Peach Blossom gladioli and Nigella 

 Miss Jekyll are being handled by W. H. 

 Carr from the Fruit Hill Greenhouses, 

 Providence, R. I. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. reports 

 an excellent Mothers' day business. 

 Carnations were the best sellers, but 

 roses were a close second. 



Welch Bros. Co. noted a considerable 

 increase in sales due to Mothers' day. 

 They are now busy on Memorial day 

 f^upplies. A recent importation of bay 

 trees contains some excellent specimens 

 both of pyramids and standards. 



Large gladioli and Spanish iris from 

 Herman Waldecker are at present note- 

 worthy. 



Fred L. Sly, of South Stoughton, and 

 H. F. Calder, of Norwood, still are send- 

 ing in fine double violets. 



A number of collections have been 

 planted in the convention garden and 

 more are being received daily. All who 

 have trees, shrubs or perennials for this 

 garden should send them along at once. 

 No bedding plants should come until 

 after Mav 20. W. N. C. 



GREENWICH, CONN. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 meeting of the Westchester and Fair- 

 field Horticultural Society held in Do- 

 ran 's hall May 10, Five new members 

 were elected and one application for 

 membership was received. A letter was 

 read, from the secretary of the National 

 Association of Gardeners, regarding the 

 cooperation of the local societies with 

 the national body. The matter will be 

 taken up in detail at the next meeting. 



New Rose, Klllarney Brilliant 



THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN MANY YEARS. 



We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Killarney 

 — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It 

 is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. 



It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because 

 of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright 

 weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when 

 the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, 

 Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety 

 at its best. In addition to its great superiority in color, the flower is 

 almost twice as large, having from twenty-five to forty full-sized petals. 



It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but 

 has double the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller 

 flower; and it is also very much more productive, having the same 

 habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent. 



We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past win- 

 ter, planted in the same house with the original and the double pink 

 Killarney, and when those varieties faded so as to be almost unmarket- 

 able, Killarney Brilliant was superb. Wc are thoroughly convinced that 

 it will immediately supplant the original .Killarney as the standard mar- 

 ket variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be compelled to plant 

 it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, who 

 has seen it growing, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs 

 no advertising; it sells itself.
