The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Januarv 31, 1907. 



BRANTFORD, CAN. 



Rrantford is a beautiful little city of 

 10,000 inhabitants. It has been identi- 

 fied with the florists' business for over 

 thirty years, its pioneer in the field, 

 James B. Hay, still hale and hearty, 

 conducting a general horticultural estab- 

 lishment at the old stand, with green- 

 houses and a seed and bulb department. 



Thomas A. Ivey, with his three sons 

 and daughter associated with him, has 

 one of the most up-to-date stores in Can- 

 ada and does an extensive local and 

 shipping business, having agencies in 

 every town and village within a radius 

 of fifty miles. He grows a general as- 

 sortment in his greenhouses, depending 

 largely on the Dale estate, at Brampton 

 for his cut flowers. On Friday morning, 

 January 25, one of the boilers in his 

 greenhouses exploded, the intense cold 

 causing the accident, but vigorous hust- 

 ling and the use of stoves prevented seri- 

 ous loss. 



The value of system is here proven in 

 every part of his business, and the store 

 is a model in arrangement, convenience 

 and beauty ; few better, even in New- 

 York. His daughter and son are the 

 artists of the company, and adepts, as 

 may be seen by the illustration of their 

 Avork, sent out in the form of advertis- 

 ing booklets, which are no small factor 

 in bringing them mail-order business 

 from surrounding towns. J. A. S. 



ELBERON, N. J. 



Tlie Elberon Horticultural Society held 

 its regular meeting January 21, Presi- 

 dent Robertson in the chair. One new 

 member was elected and two were pro- 

 posed for membership. The exhibition 

 table was well filled. The following were

 about their exhibits. G. M.

MABELLE 



NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 



First-class Certificate, Madison and Indianapolis 



Color— A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a faint yellowish cast; 

 several shades lighter than the Lawson. Unlike most pinks, the bright- 

 est eun does not injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when 

 established. Odor— Pleasing, but not strong. Steins— Invariably 

 strong, but always graceful, ranging from 12 to 30 inches during the 

 season. Habit, etc.- A very quick, active grower, making specimen 

 plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On account of its rapid 

 growth, requires supporting very soon after benching. Gets away rap- 

 idly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start. Pro- 

 duotiveness— Prodigious is the best word we know of to use here. 

 It is the most incetsant bloomer, early and late, we have ever grown. 

 Stock limited. No discount. 



Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.
