The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 10, 1908. 



We are Headquarters for the 



Right Stock of White Killamey 



There are other white sports of Killarney, but the stock which 

 we offer — the Waban variety — is very much superior to all others 



When you buy from us 



you get Btock of the variety exhibited by us and the Waban Bose Conservatories this fall, which was awarded the 

 silver cup at the National Flower Show at Chicago; silver medal, Horticultural Society, New York, and silver medal, 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Boston. It undoubtedly is 



the best white rose ever introduced 



Our attention was called to this rose last winter and, recognizing its great value as soon as we saw it, we 

 purchased half the stock. We are growing it in large quantities in our Scarborough greenhouses, and will be glad 

 to have anyone interested in it visit us and see it growing. The large growers, instantly recognizing its value, have 



E laced orders for large quantities, so that our advance orders are very large, and the demand promises to be very 

 eavy, judging by the number of orders already booked; but we have enough stock, either potted or rooted, to fill 

 advance orders, so that we can still promise early delivery and first-class stock on all orders received now. 



Order at once to ensure early delivery 



Orders will be filled in rotation as booked, delivery beginning March 1st, 1909. Strong plants, 2jl^-in. pots, own 

 root, $30.00 per 100; 260 for $70.00; 500 for $125.00; 1000 for $250.00. Grafted plants, $5.00 per 100 additional.

The Market. 



Trade last week was fair, funeral 

 work being the most called for. As many 

 cut flowers were on the market, the trade 

 used a large quantity. Last Saturday 

 brought out many more and they sold 

 slowly. Roses are abundant. Carnations 

 are arriving in large quantities and the 

 prospects are for an immense cut for 

 Christmas. Chrysanthemums are still 

 dragging on, but the stock looks as 

 though their time had come. Christmas 

 is near at Land and the trade is looking 

 forward to making up larger quantities 

 of dry flowers than last year, as immor- 

 telles are so much cheaper, 



Maryland Horticultural Show. 



The eleventh annual meeting and show 

 of the Maryland Horticultural Society, 

 combined with the Maryland Corn Breed- 

 ers' Association, were held at the Fifth 

 Eegiment armory on Tuesday, December 

 1 and 2. The show was one of the most 

 successful yet held. The exhibits were 

 far superior to those of any previous 

 shows. There were visitors from far and 

 near. Quite a few out-of-town florists 

 were there. The Horticultural Society 

 had 2,000 exhibitors and the Maryland 

 Corn Breeders' Association had 214 corn 

 exhibitors. The armory has a floor space 

 of 60,000 square feet, which was trans- 

 formed into a sea of blossoms and fruit. 



State Pathologist .J. B. S. Norton, 

 State Horticulturist C. P, Close and State 

 Entomologist T, B. Symons told what 

 had been accomplished during the last 

 year in their departments. The follow- 

 ing were elected to constitute the execu- 

 tive board of the society for the coming

WHITE KILLARNEY : MY MIRYLAND 



After careful investigation, having become satisfled that the Waban Strain of White 

 Killamey is superior to anything now in the market, we have withdrawn our Sport and

 ies to procure an abundant supply of their stock and will propagate only from that. This 

 we offer for delivery after Feb. 15, 1909, at the following prices :
