MRS. JARDINE 



We offer this new rose for March delivery and can recommend it most highly 

 for commercial use. The color is a bright, pleasing pink, shading in the outer 

 petals to salmon-pink* It is a prolific bloomer, free and easy to grow, and 

 without doubt will supersede the Bridesmaid when better known. ^ j> j^

 after a long illness. He had been in 

 business as a florist in Kearny and Ar- 

 lington for many years and owned a large 

 amount of property in Kearny. He had

 more than fifty years. He is survived 

 by his wife and by two sons and a 

 daughter.

 Degnan, died January 16 at her resi- 

 dence, 2730 Fifth avenue, Chicago. She

 Airy, O., January 16, and the funeral 

 was held January 20. Mr. Conger had

 was not entirely unexpected. He was 

 76 years old and had been married fifty-

Fargo, N. D.— John L. Graves has 

 sold his interest in the firm of Shotwell 

 & Graves to A. T. Shotwell, who will 

 continue the business. Mr. Graves will 

 remove to California. 



It gives me great pleasure to remit 

 another dollar for the renewal of my 

 subscription to the Review, the gem of 

 horticultural journals, which I look for 

 most eagerly every week and which in- 

 forms me in up-to-date style of what 

 is going on in our profession. I have been 

 perfectly satisfied with the paper in the 

 past, and hope to give it the support 

 of my little dollar, and any other sup- 

 port that I can render it, for many a 

 year. — C. Adams, Memphis, Tenn.
