The Weekly Florists^ Review* 26 



MELODY 



In selling this rose early in the season we did not recommend it as 

 a summer bloomer, our feeling being that it was an unusually good 

 winter forcer. Now after a month or more of hot weather we find it a 

 splendid summer rose, holding its color and form in fine shape. As a 

 cut flower it has been and is selling extra well and at present we are 

 often unable to take care of all orders that come in to us. Unquestion- 

 ably we recommend it as the very finest yellow rose and one of the 

 best money makers on the market. For a grower retailing his own cut 

 flowers it hasn't an equal in the rose line today. 



Own root plants, 2X-inch pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000. 



DOUBLE PINK KILLARNCY. It has no equal commercially. Own root, 2%-inch, $20.00 

 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2X-inch, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000. 



PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Entirely different from any rose grown. Own root, 2X-inch, $15.00 

 per 100; $120.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2%-inch, $20.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000. 



During July and August we will close at 5 p. m.

Mentlnn The H»»v<pw whpti ■vnn write. 



they deserve to be. I have before me 

 a letter today from one of the leading 

 horticulturists in the east on this sub- 

 ject. He says that he would gladly 

 make an exhibit of a certain flower at 

 the monthly meeting of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society, but that he 

 feels that this is time and energy 

 thrown away, as the society makes no 

 effort to bring people to its meetings. 

 He further sOggests that much may be 

 done if the society will change its pol- 



icy in this matter and take its rightful 

 place as a public leader in affairs horti- 

 cultural. 



With this object in view these lines 

 are written, in the hope that some mem- 

 ber of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society will recognize their truth and 

 push forward the reform that can do so 

 much for floriculture and for the so- 

 ciety. 



Griffin Bros. 



A discerning salesman, one of the 



most active of the corps who regularly 

 visit the florists in the suburbs of Phila- 

 delphia, says that Grifliin Bros, always 

 have $1,000 ready for anything attract- 

 ive that comes along. That means that 

 Griffin Bros, are good business men as 

 well as good florists. 



The firm has stood as one of the lead- 

 ing flower firms in Frankford for many 

 years past. They do a general business, 

 retailing chiefly and wholesaling the 

 balance. They depend principally on
