New Carnations -1908-09 



Mrs. Cha^. Knopf 



A grand yarletyrcomes into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the Beaeon. 

 One of the best varieties that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand 

 old variety. Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. Oesortptlon:— The color of Mrs. 

 Chas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than 

 Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal with stiffness that gives it a grand make-up in general. Having much 

 more substance and the petals being sti£Fer, it keeps and ships much better than the above variety. The calyx is very stiff and large, 

 giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress. The habit is ideal: closely resembles Enchant- 

 ress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer. Likes a temperature of 60 to 52. The stem is 

 24 inches and over, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet 

 sent out and is bound to surpass the old variety, Enchantress. 



Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The size of 

 the flower Is 8 to 8^ inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substance of any flower we 

 know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, giving the 

 flower freedom to expand. ThehabitiBideal;easy to handle: does well from fleld or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 50 to 52. 

 Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up 

 the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and flnd a place among the standards. 



The above varieties. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000; 250 at lOOO rate. 



It don't cost you anything to send for a circular. A postal will bring you one. We invite the trade to come and see the above

BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



St. Valentine's day was a pleasant one, 

 and this was a great help to business. 

 Saturday looked threatening at first, but 

 cleared off later. Pot plants were in 

 heavy demand; anything in pots found 

 a ready sale. Violets, sweet peas and 

 carnations were worn a great deal on the 

 streets. From reports, business was be- 

 yond expectations, for all the violets in 

 town were sold by night. However, 

 sweet peas, freesias, carnations and roses 

 made good valentines, and a large quan- 

 tity of this stock was disposed of. Aside 

 from the holiday business, trade has been 

 good. 



The Exchange, after the early morning 

 hours, looks like a banquet hall deserted, 

 and the telephone wires are hot all around 

 with hurried inquiries as to who has this 

 or who has the other. 



Varioitt Notes. 



The regular meeting of the club was 

 held February 8, which was also carna- 

 tion night. The attendance was good and 

 a fine collection of blooms was on exhibi- 

 tion. Some fine blooms of the standard 

 varieties were shown, as well as some 

 seedlings which were conceded by some 

 growers to have a bright future. John 

 Cook, the originator of My Maryland 

 rose, was unable, on account of sickness, 

 to attend and give his ideas as to the 

 best methods of growing this rose, but 

 has promised to do so later. The rose is 

 doing excellently at Mr. Cook's, and he 

 also has several promising seedlings in 

 red and pink which will be heard from 

 later. 



A large electric sign has been placed 

 over Lexington market, naming the mar- 

 ket days — Tuesday, Friday and Saturday 

 — which is a great help to visitors who 

 desire to see one of the , finest markets 

 to be found anywhere. This was planned 

 by Thomas Paterson, who is the present 

 market master and is also a florist him- 

 self. Q. 



It gives me pleasure to renew my sub- 

 scription, as I owe my success in large 

 part to the Bbview. — F. W. Brooke,
