The Florists' Review

WE WISH YOU A 



Merry, Merry Christmas 



You will wish us one if yon plant Ay res' Christmas Flowering or Winter Spencer Sweet Peas 

 now, which spells dollars for you. Don't delay— have that crop; there is still time to plant. 



Winter Countess Spencer Is undoubtedly the 

 finest sweet pea In existence; It Is extremely 

 early and blooms profusely all winter and spring; 

 during tbe darkest days it still radiates the gor- 

 geous pinlc shade, as though still kissed by tbe 

 sun; in no other variety have we noticed so 

 prominently the delightful fragrance that exists 

 in these mammoth blooms. Truly the sweet pea 

 of the day., The seed is worth double what w(> 

 ask; but to introduce everywhere, our price Is, 

 oz., $8.00; 2 oz., $15.00; V* Ih., $28.00; lb., 

 $110.00. 



Winter Ked Spencer; large wavy orange red, 

 most valuable for winter cutting, oz., $4.50; 2 

 oz., $8.00; V4 lb., $15.00; lb., $50.00. 



Winter White Spencer (black seeded, which 

 makes it especially easy to germinate), mam- 

 moth wavy double-like flowers, very prolific and 

 undoubtedly the finest white in existence, oz., 

 $6.50; 2 oz., $12.00; Vt lb., $23.00. 



Winter Lavender TTnwin, the best winter lav- 

 ender in cultivation; mammoth flower — truly a 

 gem, oz., $2.50; 14 lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00. 



Winter Duplex Fink Spencer; true Spencerian 

 or Orchid type of a shell pink color, oz., $3.50; 

 2 oz., $6.60; % lb., $12.00. 



Popularity Spencer No. 11 is made up of two 

 shades of the most exquisite pink; they bunch 

 perfectly together, and in this the florist re 

 ceives the two popular shades of the highest 

 Spencer perfection. Oz., $7.00; 2 oz., $13.00; % 

 lb., $25.00; lb., $90.00. 



Wm. L. Bock Spencer. This winter blooming 

 butterfly has developed into one of the grandest 

 varieties of the day. Mr. Bock himself declares 

 it to Ije the king of all Spencers. It is a very 

 shy seeder, and for this reason we have had to 

 turn down hundreds of customers, our supply 

 having been exhausted shortly after harvest; 

 this year we can spare just 100 ounces; so be 

 early. Oz., $8.00; 2 oz., $15.00; 14 lb., $28.00; 

 lb., $110.00. The above unavoidably contains 

 ■ome of our Winter Blushing Bride Spencer, but 



as It is equally as valuable as Rock and bunches 

 well with it, we believe this will be agreeable 

 news. 



Ayres' Orchid Spencer Mixture contains the 

 most celebrated of our winter flowering origina- 

 tions; those who do not care to spend very much 

 money and yet desire colors that will bunch 

 beautifully, should by all means purchase some 

 of these. Oz., $2.50; % lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00.

It contains the most beautiful and rare shades 

 of the Pansy Universe; the blooms are enormous 

 in size, borne on stems consistently long; they 

 have been grown and reselected until now they 

 show a most remarkable hardiness by with- 

 standing the cold weather of the north, with 

 little or no prbtectlon, and even showing blooms 

 many times during the winter. On account of 

 an unusually large crop we are able to make
