Magnolia Wreaths 



We aim to make our Magnolia .Wreaths the standard wreath everywhere. We have 

 perfected their make so that these wreaths are as nearly perfect as they can be made. They 

 are so low in price that no skilled florist can afford to spend the time in making.

Various Notes. 



Robert Montgomery, of Natick, is 

 one ot the best rose growers in the 

 Vicinity of Boston and his place never 

 looked better than at present. His 

 place is always neat and I doubt 

 whether any local rose firm averages a 

 better price for the flowers than Mr. 

 Montgomery. Particularly good just 

 now are White Killarney, Hadley, Rich- 

 mond and Russell. Other sorts grown 

 are Killarney Brilliant, Ward, Sun- 

 burst and i^iUarney. 



Penn had far the largest St. Valen- 

 tine's day business in his history 

 February 13. He had advertised 

 heavily and anyone who has doubts 

 about advertising not paying should 

 have seen the shoals of orders sent out. 

 It took fifteen men nearly six hours to

 and the whole force was worked to the 

 limit February 13. Violets were easily 

 the leaders, but gardenias, valley and 

 cattleyas were called for by many. 



W. 8. Phelps, of Lexington, has a 

 splendid lot of Nelrose and Phelps' 

 White snapdragons. He started to cut 

 anemones in quantity this week and 

 these will be followed by large batches 

 of Spanish iris. His carnations are do- 

 ing uncommonly well, especially Beacon 

 and Rosette. His other leaders are 

 White Wonder, White Enchantress, 

 Benora, Pink Delight, Pocahontas and 

 Winsor.
