OPHELIA 



A New Rose of True Worth 



We have grown this magnificent rose the past season with most gratifying results. As a free and 

 vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It sets bud freely in the short days of winter, 

 and is now coming in with a heavy crop, doing equally well on grafts or own roots. 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER ^^ ^^ present more favorably tliought of than ever, and we intend to again plant it heavily this 

 * season. As a money getter, our experience has proven its superiority over all sorts, and having 



grown extensively on own roots and grafts, we have no hesitancy in stating that, like Sunburst, it does better on own roots. 



We have a splendid lot of both varieties (g^rafts and own roots) ready for shipment, 

 together with a choice lot of Sunburst, Ward, Prince d'Arenbergr, White and Pink Killarney, cuttings taken 

 from sand the latter part of December. For prices and further particularis write

The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held at Pembroke hall, April 14, 

 with President Westlake in the chair. 

 The euchre and dance held under the 

 auspices of this society April 8 was re- 

 ported to have been a success in every 

 way and great credit is due the com- 

 mittee in charge for the able manner in 

 which the affair was conducted. 



It was agreed to hold three shows 

 during the coming season — a summer 

 show in the week commencing June 6, 

 a dahlia show October 7 and a fall 

 show October 28 and 29. 



Offers of special prizes for the fall 

 show were received from the following 

 firms: Hitchings & Co., W. E. Marshall 

 & Co., Stumpp & "Walter Co., Vaughan's

H. H. Cade, successor to John Walk- 

 er, has been busy with funeral work 

 of late. Easter business, he says, 

 showed an increase over last year's. 



Stuart McClain, formerly on North 

 Phelps street, has incorporated and 

 opened a store on Wick avenue. The 

 store will be one of the best in town 

 when all the fixtures are in. His 

 Easter business went far above his 

 expectations. 



Mr. and Mrs. John Walker returned 

 shortly before Easter from a business 

 and pleasure trip to the Isle of Pines, 

 where Mr. Walker owns a grapefruit 

 farm. He brought back, among other 

 things, a large lemon, some good cigars 

 for hifl friends, and a bad case of indiges- 

 tion, which he lays to the fine taste of 

 the grapefruit and oranges and the 

 poor beef which they have there. He 

 has been under a physician's care for 

 some time, and is getting along as well 

 as could be expected. H. M.

OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses BO 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 SOOTT KEY 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 grown 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

This variety might well have been 

 termed a Bed Killarney, as it possesses 

 so many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers are 

 similar to Richmond, 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.
