Great News for 1912 



INTRODUCTORY 



The Baltimoreans promise to give the members of the S. A. F. one of the most successful conven- 

 tions ever held. Those attending cannot but realize the wonderlul value these conventions are, with their 

 splendid lectures, interesting talks, discussions and trade exhibits. Aside from these, the value of the 

 personal talks with the big men of our profession is often worth the trip — always something to learn — 

 their opinions on this subject or that, the merits of some of the new introductions in carnations, roses or 

 other flowers and how best to handle them. A novelty, whether it is in the flower line or in some other 

 branch of the business, always proves interesting to everyone. 



OUR EXHIBIT 



Our exhibit at Baltimore will be one of the finest ever staged, containing many things new in 

 ribbons, supplies and florists' accessories. '•*- 



NEW ROSES for 1912 



In addition to these, we will have a splendid display 

 of cut flowers, fresh each day, of the new roses Double 

 White Killamey and Killamey Queen, originated by the 

 Budlong Rose Company, and which are to be dissemi- 

 nated jointly by the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Company and 

 A. N. Pierson, Inc., in the spring of 1912. 



Double White Killarney with its stronger, 



more vigorous 



growth, larger and heavier flowers, double the petalage 

 and purer white, is a tremendous improvement over White 

 Killamey, and is sure to be a money-maker to all who buy, 

 not only for winter forcing but for summer growing. We 

 recommend it as being the best and grandest commercial 

 white rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an im- 

 provement over Kaiserin that there is no question about 

 its replacing Kaiserin in that connection. At this writing, 

 it is three or four times as largo as White Killarney. 



Killarney Queen is about three shades darker 

 ^^ than Pink Killarney, and dur- 

 ing dark and cloudy weather the color does not fade, but 

 remains a bright, deep, rich pink. It is of very much 

 more vigorous growth than Killarney, even a stronger 

 grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about 

 twice as large as Pink Killarney, about the same petalage 

 and borne on tremendously heavy, long stems, larger and 

 heavier foliage. Many consider this rose in the American 

 Beauty class, its habit, growth and size are so vigorous 

 and far ahead of Pink Killarney. 



WELCOME TO VISITORS ^® win be glad to have visitors make our exhibit their headquartera at any or all times during 

 =^= the convention, where they will find Mr. Fancourt atid his assistants glad to welcome them.
