The Florists^ Review 



October 20, 1921 



New Coleus Harding 



HARDING COLEUS is the most beautiful 

 and brilliant color ever introduced to the 

 trade. Bright red leaves, with brown, green 

 and yellow edging; medium large leaves. 

 Grows very rapidly and is very easily rooted. 



HARDING COLEUS makes fine pot plants 

 for winter, as it holds its color wonderfully 

 during the winter months. 



HARDING COLEUS, for outside bedding 

 and porch boxes, cannot be beaten. 



HARDING COLEUS is a seedling found 

 by us, grown and tested before introducing it, 

 which has proved to be as described above. 



HARDING COLEUS was shown at the 

 Washington, D. C, S. A. F. Convention, where 

 an Award of High Merit was recommended 

 by the judges, A. L. Miller, J. A. Peterson and 

 Joseph Kohout. 



Drop us a line and we will be glad to mail you leaves 

 of this variety. Delivery starts November 1, 1921, and 

 orders will be filled in rotation.

visitors reboarded the automobiles and, 

 after passing many large and beautiful 

 estates, finally reached the Pocantico 

 Hills residence of John D. Eockefeller. 

 This magnificent estate covers over 

 6,000 acres and lies hundreds of feet 

 above the broad and majestic Hudson, 

 with enchanting mountain views on 

 every hand. No less than 275 men are 

 employed on the farm and gardens or 

 as estate mechanics. There are eight 

 miles of avenues in the park proper and 

 thirty more outside. All are kept in 

 princely style and the various gardens, 

 including formal gardens near the resi- 

 dence with a wealth of superb specimens 

 of boxwood, the lovely Japanese gar- 

 dens, broad sweeps of lawns, rock gar- 

 dens and other features, had to be seen 

 all too hurriedly. In. the great storage 

 house were grand old oranges in tubs, 

 twenty feet high, and pittosporums, 

 oleanders, Arauearia imbricata, bay 

 trees and other plants of equal size. In 

 the greenhouse ranges were fine batches 

 of roses, carnations, chrysanthemnms, 

 orchids, palms, begonias and other 

 plants. Here, October 13, scarcely a 

 tender plant had been touched by frost 

 and chrysanthemums were blooming 

 beautifully outdoors. 



On the home journey to New York a 

 stop was made at Tarrytown to see the 

 beautiful store of the F. R. Pierson Co. 

 This certainly excited the admiration of 

 the visitors.- The range' of fern houses 

 wail inspected by the aid of electric 

 light, and a substantial collation was 

 served by the attractive corps of yomif; 

 ladies employed on the sollinff and steiio- 

 grapbic force hero. New York was 

 reached on the home journey about 7:30 

 p. m. 



On Long Island. 



October 14, the last daj' of the con- 

 vention, the visitors wore taken in hand 

 by the Lewis & Valentine Co. and 

 started bright and early on a tour of
