strength and durability, to say nothing 

 of neatness. This new house and an 

 I'lder one are planted entirely with Dick- 

 ■'on's hybrid tea rose, Mrs. Jardine, and 

 'lespite the late planting of the new 

 liouse, the plants showed excellent growth 

 • nd are beginning to sucker freely. The 

 ''looms were highly colored and of sub- 

 stance, and the plants bear out Mr, Ste- 

 I'henson's statement that Mrs. Jardine 

 i roduces few thirds. The claim has been 

 iiade by growers of this rose that it 

 "ust bring anywhere from one-half more 

 '> double as much per flower as the freer- 

 looming varieties in order to make it 

 ;^y expenses. Mr. Stephenson believes 

 'is is excessive, stating that one-third 

 'ore is ample. Mrs. Jardine, at Oak 

 •■'ne, last year produced only one and a 

 ^If less per plant than Eichmond under 

 ''C same conditions; surely a remarkable 

 !iowing. 



"rafted Jardines are being tried in 

 ""iparison with own-roots, but it will 



take another season to make a thorough 

 test. The grafted appear to produce 

 more flowers, but do not sucker so freely 

 as the own-root stock. Mr. Stephenson 

 is so pleased with his venture that he is 

 giving an entire new house to Mrs. Jar- 

 dine. He believes it a great mistake to 

 limit the number of varieties of roses 

 to three or four, claiming that an excel- 

 lent demand can be readily developed for 

 meritorious novelties like Mrs. Jardine. 



Various Notes. 



F. S. Stimson and Mrs. Stimson, of the 

 Hollywood Gardens, Seattle, Wash., were 

 here recently. While here they captured 

 W. E. Gibson, who left with them to man- 

 age Mr. Stimson 's store. 



Frank P. Eine and Mrs. Bine, of Lew- 

 isburg, Pa., were here in the interests of 

 the new firm of Eine & Kerstetter, who 

 will open a flower store in Milton, Pa. 



Among the Philadelphians who have 

 signified their intention of attending the 

 carnation meeting at Pittsburg this week 



are: Eobert Craig, William P. Craig, 

 Edward A. Stroud, Charles E. Meehan, 

 J. L. Pennock, Israel Eosnosky and Will- 

 iam Swayne, of Kennett Square. A. B. 

 Cartledge was unable to go, owing to the 

 death of his uncle. 



Henry F. Michell is enjoying a well 

 earned fortnight's vacation at Aiken, S. C. 



John Burton has just purchased a 

 6-cylinder car. 



William Geiger, grower for J. Stephen- 

 son, of Oak Lane, says that Mrs. Jardine 

 is a great rose when you can get the 

 knack of growing it. 



Victor Groshens has received the build- 

 ing material for his new house. It is to 

 be 29x500 feet. 



Tastefully gotten up McKinley day 

 cards in the shop windows remind the 

 passerby to wear a carnation January 29. 



W. W. Crawford has an effective win- 

 dow of ferns and daffodils, in his new 

 store at Fifty-second and "Market streets.
