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 VARIETY 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 DAYS 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, Mr*. 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.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Tarrytown Horticultural Society was 

 held at Good Templars haJl, Friday 

 evening, February 28. The executive com- 

 mittee reported that the following dates 

 had been arranged for the aunual ex- 

 hibitions: Summer show, June 14; fall 

 show, November 4 to 6. An invitation 

 was read from the Monmouth County 

 Horticultural Society to attend its fourth 

 annual dinner at Red Bank, March 3. 

 C. M. Atkinson, Irvington, was elected 

 an active member of the society. 



William Scott offered a prize for twelve 

 cut roses, but we are sorry to report 

 that roses must be off crop around here, 

 as tlie only roses on the table were from 

 Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa. 

 They sent their new rose, Mrs. Jardine, 

 which after a critical discussion was 

 awarded a certificate of merit. "Rose 

 Growing Under Glass" was the subject 

 for the evening. The discussion was 

 opened by Joseph Mooney, who was fol- 

 lowed by many members. L. A. M. 



THE READERS' CORNER. 



Charcoal Screenings. 



A less persistent man than myself 

 would give up trying to tell the trade 

 about it, but I know that charcoal screen- 

 ings are good for florists and my many 

 local customers prove it, but how to 

 make your readers know it also baffles 

 me, and I am willing to be shown. 



You may, if you please, repeat my 

 advertisements at the same price in an- 

 other part of the paper nearer the ads 

 of tobacco or fertilizers, but it does 

 seem to me that when one of your cor- 

 respondents asks what will be the best 

 for sour soil, or a similar question, it 

 might be possible for you to answer 

 "charcoal screenings"; that is, if you 

 have had the time to read all or any of 

 the testimonials I have sent you. 



I believe that your readers are pro- 



gressive men or they would not take a 

 trade paper, and, therefore, anything like 

 my purifier ought to appeal to them.
