NEW ROSE 



-\ 



MRS JARDINE 



Every Florist who Plants a Rose for Winter Forcing wants at least Six Qualities 



A FREE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD FOLIAGE. A VARIETT THAT CAN BE EASILY GROWN. LARGE 

 FLOWERS ON LONG STEMS. DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE. DISTINCT, PLEASING COLOR THAT WILL SELL 

 AT SIGHT. A ROSE THAT WILL HOLD ITS COLOR IN THE DULL DATS OF DECEMBER AND JANUARY. 



MRS. JARDINE has all these characteristics, and, in addition, is of so perfect a form that it can be used either 

 in the bud or half expanded flower. The color is a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon pink, and, 

 even in January, when Bridesmaids and Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Jardine is as bright as in October or March. 



We extend a cordial invitation to everyone interested in this New Rose to visit our Nurseries and see it growing. 



MRS. JARDINE has been awarded Two Silver Medals, numerous Certificates, and successfully stood the best 

 test which any novelty can possibly have in passing unanimously, in December, the Award Committee of the New 

 York Florists Club after an exhaustive examination of the growmg plants, with a score of 92 points.

Best Atmosphere for 

 Keeping Flo^x^ers 



is inside a McCray Refrigerator. They are built with the 

 patented system of circulation of cold, dry, fresh air, which 

 preserves the beauty and fragrance, prevents wilting, and 

 uses an astonishingly small amount of ice. This saving of ice 

 pays for the refrigerator itself, as many florists have actually 

 demonstrated. There is no stagnant air in the McCray. 



McCray Refrigerators 



with their elegant finish will give your store a very attractive appear- 

 ance. They can be furnished with mirrors, and are lined with white 

 enamel, tile, opal glass, marble, etc., to suit your taste and pocketbook. 

 A McCrajr Refrigerator will last more than a lifetime, and will save 

 ice for you daily, and will keep your stock in fresher condition than any 

 other refrigerator on the market.

clothed in daffodils in the early spring 

 time, bulbs filling the ground from quite 

 near the seashore up to where the hard 

 roek puts a bar against cultivation. The 

 industry has developed until in the sea- 

 son that began at Christmas, 1906, and 

 ended in April, 1907, nearly 900 tons 

 of flowers, filling about 140,000 boxes, 

 were dispatched from the islands. 



The earliest flowers are opened under 

 glass; indeed, almost all the flowers, even 

 late in the spring, are fully expanded 

 under glass, to insure clean, clear blooms, 

 but in January the broad, light houses, 

 chiefly span-roofed, are heated, and the 

 flowers, culled from the fields as their 

 buds show color, are set in deep flower 

 pots — made without a drainage hole — ; 

 in water. Here they expand quickly, and 

 on the central stage or in an adjoining 

 glass-roofed shed they are packed in 

 boxes and dispatched to the salesmen. 

 Thousands of bulbs are also forced into

bloom in these bouses by the larger 

 growers, and they are grown in boxes, 

 pots, or broad pans, so that flower time 

 in the Scillies now lasts from Christ- 

 mas almost to June. 



The work of bunching and packing is 

 carried on very largely by women and 

 girls, and during the busiest season there 

 is a special arrangement with the' school 



authorities, whereby the young people 

 are released from some part of the school 

 time, so that they may assist in the in- 

 gathering and dispatch of the harvest 

 of flowers.
