Cerise Windsor 



A VARIETY EVERY GROWER WILL WELCOME. 



This is a sport of Winsor, known everywhere as a variety that is easy to grow— everybody does it well. Has the same 

 habit as Winsor, with darker foliage and larger buds and flowers— a fine deep cerise pink. A free bloomer and a good 



shipper. Will fill a need in its color. ROOTEP CUTTINGS $10.00 per 100; $80.00 per lOOO. 



Delivery in January and February.

of red tulips last week. Primroses and 

 cyclamens were also used. 



At a dinner given for Former Presi- 

 dent Wm. Taft, at Porter Norton's 

 residence, January 22, an Italian gar- 

 den was used, having miniature box- 

 wood hedges, rose trees and garden 

 vases ' filled with blooming roses. In 

 the center of the formal garden was a 

 tall rose tree. Green moss formed the 

 turf throughout the garden and the 

 effect was most realistic. 



At the branch store of W. J. Palmer 

 & Son, two handsome window decora- 

 tions were seen. One consisted of 

 lavender orchids hung from the ceiling 

 in tubes irregularly arranged, which 

 resembled a flock of birds. The floor 

 space was artistically filled with spring 

 flowers. The other display was a foun- 

 tain effect of white lilacs and yellow 

 tulips. Instead of water, an electrolier 

 with a yellow shade was used to great 

 advantage. Vases of sweet peas of 

 various colors and miniature Japanese 

 ponds, with goldfish swimming about, 

 added life to the creation. 



Joseph Streit is now offering some 

 exceptionally good Dutch hyacinths and 

 Marie Legraye lilac trees in full bloom. 

 These are excellent for early spring 

 stock. 



A. J. Pauly, of Attica, N. Y., is grow- 

 ing some good Perfection, Enchantress 

 Supreme and Beacon carnations. 



Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Pierson, of 

 Cromwell, Conn., are the guests of Mr. 

 and Mrs. S. A. Anderson during their 

 stay here for the carnation convention. 



S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., Philadelphia, Milton Selinka, of 

 Schloss Bros., New York, and A. Smith, 

 of Wm. J, Boas & Co., Philadelphia, 

 were recent visitors. 



R. M. Rebstock's store and S. A. 

 Anderson's Elmwood branch have been 

 doing a great deal of funeral work. 



Robert Avery is producing some ex- 

 cellent smilax, which is being used in 

 large quantities at present. 



The orchid peas of Jerry Brookins 

 and Chas. Sandiford continue to im- 

 prove daily, after the blight they suf- 

 fered at Christmas. 



S. A. Anderson had a rather weird 

 but yet effective window display last 

 week. It was Japanese in design, and 

 had hangings of blue and white crepe, 

 Japanese lanterns, parasols and fans. 

 White lilac trees, with blue, yellow 

 and lavender decorations, gave a dash 

 of color. Orchids, valley and Golden 

 Spur daffodils in vases were the cut 

 flowers used. A soft blue light was 

 throt^n upon the display. E. C. A.

This Ought to Be OF INTEREST to YOU 



that local gro'wers have placed the larg^est individual orders for my 

 new Carnation *' ALICE,** offered to the trade this season. Some have 

 doubled and trebled their orders on successive visits. 



The color is an exquisite shade of clear, soft pink, midway between En- 

 chantress and Gloriosa. Habit of plant, ideal, strong, very early and a contin- 

 uous and without doubt the most productive commercial variety I have offered 

 to date. 



Prices-Per 100, $12.00; per 1000. $100.00; per 2500, $237.60;
