NEW ROSE 



■\ 



MRS. JARDINE 



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



A rREE, STRONG GROWTH, WITH GOOD FOLIAGE. A VARIETY THAT CAN BE EASILY GROWN. LARGE 

 fLOWERS ON LONG STEMS. DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE. DISTINCT, PLEASING COLOR THAT WILL BELL 

 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, 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 anv novelty can possibly have in passing unanimously, in December, the Award Committee of the New 

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

handsome as the southern magnolia, or 

 M. grandiflora, which is not considered 

 hardy north of Virginia. The first va- 

 riety to bloom in spring is M. stellata, 

 or Hall's magnolia, pure white, from 

 Japan, a dwarf, slow-growing plant, which, 

 however, commences to bloom when two 

 or three feet high, while specimens can 

 be found twelve to fifteen feet high which 

 bear thousands of blooms every year. 

 Those who are in Washington in March 

 see them all about the city, especially 

 in the White House grounds and the 

 Botanic Gardens. Here it does not bloom 

 till the last of April or the first of 

 May, and is followed by M. speciosa and 

 M. Soulangeana, often mistaken for each 

 other. Soulangeana, however, has the 

 larger bloom and more spreading habit, 

 but for one magnolia for the north we 

 should choose M. speciosa as the most 

 hardy and floriferous. 



M. Lennei, red, is beautiful — a little 

 more tender and not quite so vigorous as 

 the last; still, in good, mellow soil it 

 usually does well. Over thirty years ago 

 the writer was walking with the late 

 Dr. Parkman through his beautiful 

 grounds at Jamaica Plains, near Boston. 

 The doctor was pointing out his many 

 beautiful trees and plants. "There," 

 said he, straightening up to his full 

 height and pointing to a scrubby tree, 

 perhaps ten feet tall, "that tree when 

 in bloom is the handsomest tree on my 

 grounds; that is the Magnolia Lennei." 

 The writer immediately bought two from 

 a New York nursery, which cost him, 

 delivered by express, $10 each. Since 

 that time we have imported hundreds 

 of small ones. 



Magnolias should be handled carefully 

 and, as the foreign ones are apt to kill 

 back a little when small, they should al- 

 ways be cut in well when transplanted. 

 We once transplanted about fifty M. 

 speciosa, very large ones, after they were 

 in leaf in June. We cut them back 

 hard, about half the tops, and all lived 

 and made fine specimens. 



Among our native magnolias M. acu- 

 minata is the most hardy. It is rather

desirable as a street and shade tree on 

 account of its fine shape and good foli- 

 age. In the west it grows to be a 

 large timber tree and is called the cu- 

 cumbet tree, because its fruit resembles 

 cucumbers. 



A much better ornamental tree is M. 

 tripetala, a native of the southwest, but 

 considered hardy in Massachusetts. Its 

 large leaves give it a tropical look, and 

 when covered with its immense white 

 flowers, it is an object of striking beauty. 

 It is generally grown in the bush form.
