VALUABLE NEW ROSES 



Ophelia, Francis Scott Key and Prince E. C. d^Arenberg 



Growers will find all of these valuable additions to the list of standard varieties. 

 They have been tested thoroughly and have been found to have exceptional value. 



The Market. 



The bright days have opened up 

 stock much better. During the early 

 part of last week business held up 

 fairly well, but after Ash Wednesday 

 it fell down flat until Saturday, when 

 things moved more briskly. Koses are 

 more plentiful and, as the demand fell 

 off, prices came down. Carnations are 

 still in good demand, with a slight drop 

 in price. There is almost a glut of 

 violets, which can be bought at almost 

 the cost of picking. Lilies move 

 slowly. There has been an oversupply 

 of jonquils and the prices dropped to 

 a low figure. The street boys had their 

 first chance to get any stock since the 

 New Year's glut. Greens also are 

 plentiful. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the club was 

 held February 22, President John- 

 ston in the chair. There was a good 



OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses so many excellent qualities. It 

 is a splendid grower, a very free 

 bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on 

 sight. The demand undoubtedly will 

 exceed the supply. Anticipating the 

 large demand, we have propagated it ex- 

 tensively.

FBANOIS SCOTT KEY 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 giown today. Flowers are rosy red and 

 are unusually large and double, resem- 

 bling very much a very full, double, 

 hardy garden rose. Coupled with its 

 large size and double form, it is an ex- 

 ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to 

 be exceedingly valuable, especially for

 other less double roses are difficult to

 markable.

PRINCE E. C. D'ABENBEBO 



This variety might well have been 

 termed a Red Killarney, as it possesses 

 so many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers are 

 similar to Bichmond, but they are much 

 more double, and it should prove a 

 very much more profltable rose. Flow- 

 ers have fine, straight stems on all the 

 grades — from the shortest to the longest. 

 It has fine foliage, comes away quickly 

 and is even a freer bloomer than the 

 Killarneys. We believe it is the best 

 all-round red rose that we have today.
