NEW ROSE 



■% 



MRS JARDINE 



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



A FRSE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD VOLIAGK. A VARISTT 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, Mn. Jardine is as brignt 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 

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

Enclosed you will find a check for 

 the renewal of my subscription to the 

 Review. I let it run out a few weeks 

 ago and I have missed the paper very 

 much. I think it is the best trade paper 

 published,— H. C. Holmes, Morristown,

I enjoy the Review very much and 

 would not like to be without it.— W. D.

MONTREAL. 



Cturent Comment. 



Spring is supposed to be with us 

 again, but there is yet a lot of snow to 

 remind us of winter. Rain or sleet are 

 the probabilities for the present week, 

 and, unfortunately, it looks as if they 

 might be right for once. 



Funeral orders have kept us all busy 

 recently, and trade is splendid, with 

 plenty of plants and flowers and also a 

 large demand for them. Tulips, daffo- 

 dils, hyacinths, primulas, lilacs and nar- 

 cissi, in pots, are seen in all the stores 

 and sell for 50 cents and upwards. Vio- 

 lets, valley, sweet peas, roses, carnations, 

 Beauties and freesias are among the 

 popular flowers. 



J. Bennett, of Lachine, is shipping 

 some fine violets and double pink tulips 

 at present. 



A. Derynck has left Lachine to be with 

 his father in Montreal. 



Campbell's are doing a fine lot of 

 funeral work whenever the writer calls 

 there. Their other lines are just as busy. 



T. White, of England, is at present 

 employed by J. Bennett. 



Mr. Manton paid us a flying visit re- 

 cently and called on all the boys. 



Miss Carmichael is recovering from 

 her serious illness and she expects to be 

 well enough to take charge of her store 

 again within the next week or so. 



Easter preparations at the greenhouses 



are being rushed and everything so far 

 looks promising. Tommy. 



NEV BEDFORDrMASS. 



There has not been any marked im- 

 provement in the cut flower trade in the 

 last week. Prices remain about the 

 same. A good supply of carnations and 

 violets is now coming in. Violets can 

 hardly be given away just now; there 

 is a regular glut on. There is plenty of 

 bulbous stock coming in just now, retail-' 

 ing at 50 cents per dozen. Roses bring 

 $1.50 per dozen retail. There is a good 

 supply of sweet peas. 



E. H. Chamberlain is handling some 

 fine Maleas and pots of daffodils. He 

 says that the Winsor carnation lias been 

 in good demand for the last month or 

 so; the color is certainly grand. 



H. A. Jahn exhibited flowers of Lloyd 

 at the recent show of the Boston Flo- 

 rists' and Gardeners' Club February 25, 

 besides other promising seedlings. 



S. S. Peckham is having a large cut 

 of carnations and also is busy shipping 

 carnation cuttings, handling some thirty 

 varieties or so. 



R. H. Woodhouse will have a large 

 batch of bedding plants for the spring 

 trade. He reports business as fair, 



E. Y. Peirce's csimations are in fine 

 shape. 



From all indications there will be a- 

 good supply of flowers for Easter.
