The Weekly Florists' Review^

MRS. JARDINE 



We are most favorably impressed with Mrs. Jardine, and believe that it will make one of the 

 best selling varieties of roses in the cut flower market during the winter months. Its strong points are 

 its pleasing color (a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon-pink), its long, heavy 

 stems (even the shorter stems hold their flowers erect), and its keeping qualities. From a grower's 

 standpoint this promising variety is almost ideal ; vigorous, healthy, free-blooming, producing few 

 flowers of poor grade, and retaining its beautiful color even in dark weather. 



We offer strong plants of Mrs. Jardine at the following prices : 2>^-in. pots, $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per 

 250; $260.00 per 1000. Grafted Stock add $6.00 per 100 



We can supply a limited quantity of cut flowers of Mrs* Jardine, $3.00 per doz,; 3 days' notice required.

 the best known and most popular em-

The Floracroft Greenhouses, at

 hydrangeas, their stock being engaged far 

 in advance of the flowering season at

 on the subject of forcing vegetables un- 

 der glass and the pests affecting them. 



BttUetins on Floriculture. 



Within the limits of this paper it is 

 impossible to mention all reports of work 

 done by the various stations.

 issued one bulletin on carnation rust, anthrac-
