THE BOSTON VIOLET 



The people today are looking for new Violets just as much as they are 

 for new roses or carnations. THE BOSTON VIOLET for the past two years 

 has been placed before the most skeptical buyers in America, and they prefer 

 it to any other. 



THERE'S A REASON. The Boston Violet is the largest, the most 



fragrant; it has a very pleasing color and it is a great keeper. THE BOSTON 



VIOLET is a variety that is easily grown, it is the strongest grower and is in 

 crop from September to May. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET was awarded a First-Class Certificate of Merit 

 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a Report of Superior Merit by 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Boston. 



Distribution will commence in April. Order now. 



Prices, fS.OO per dozen; $18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000

The Florists' Club gave a dancing 

 party on the evening of February 26, 

 which was a decided success. About 150 

 in the trade were present. 



The regular meeting of the club was 

 heW the following evening, which was 

 observed as carnation night, and there 

 was a large exhibit of these blooms from 

 local and outside growers, as well as ex- 

 hibits in other lines. 



E G. Hill showed a nice vase of the 

 new rose, Bhea Beid. Poehlmann Bros, 

 showed a splendid vase of Potter Pal- 

 mer. Albert Lies and the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. exhibited choice Maids, Brides, 

 Chatenay and Richmonds. 



Alex Klokner, of Wauwatosa, Wis., 

 showed some fine snapdragons, stocks and 

 mignonette. Eobt. Zepnick showed sev- 

 eral bunches of choice pansies. F. P. 

 Dilger showed a large variety of bulb 

 ■tock, which was well grown. F. Domer 

 & Sons Co. had a fine vase of its new 

 carnation, Winona, and E. G. Hill also 

 had a fine lot of Afterglow. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. showed 

 Carnegie, White Enchantress and Aris- 

 tocrat, all of which were exceptionally 

 well done. Nic Zweifel also had some 

 fine White Perfection, Pink Enchantress, 

 Winsor and Victory. Every one of these 

 varieties was first-class. August Manke 

 showed a fine vase of Enchantress and 

 Aristocrat, Fritz Bahr, of Evanston, 

 sent up Lucile, which attracted consider- 

 able attention for its size and stem. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. also displayed 

 a fine lot of well grown lily of the val- 

 ley and carnations in several varieties. 

 Gustave Pohl, Wm. Edlefsen, Heitman & 

 Baerman, Wm. Miller, M. P. Vallier and 

 John Howard also exhibited carnations 

 in several varieties. 



The exhibit was in every way a suc- 

 cess and there was a large attendance at 

 the meeting. 



Alex Klokner had a large decoration 

 last week on account of the opening of 

 the new palm garden. C. C.
