Climbing White Naman Cochet 



The most valuable acquisition to our Climbing White 

 Roses in the past few years is Climbing White Maman 

 Cochet. Identical with the older variety in size, form 

 and color, it has further proven to be one of the most 

 profuse and continuous bloomers, strongest growers, of 

 clean habit, glossy foliage and the flowers are borne on 

 long, stiff, straight stems. These excellent points to- 

 gether with its freedom from mildew make it one of the 

 most noteworthy additions to that class of Roses of 

 which there is never a surplus — Hardy, White, Ever- 

 blooming Climbers. 



With practically 50 years' experience and in that 

 time having handled millions of Roses, we are always 

 careful in recommending new varieties, but we have no 

 hesitancy in emphasizing everything we claim for Climb- 

 ing White Maman Cochet. 



We offer a limited stock of hardy field grown plants 

 that will be ready January 1, 1912, at jSl.OO eaph; ji9.00 

 per dozen. Orders filled strictly in rotation.

The Market. 



Trade is rather quiet as a rule, but 

 some days there is quite a demand for 

 funerals. Stock has been more plenti- 

 ful in the last week, and roses have 

 improved considerably in quality and 

 quantity. White and Pink Killarriey 

 head the list, but there are quite a few 

 good Brides and Maids coming in, and 

 they are quite a relief, as Killarney 

 pops open in a few hours and does not 

 give the satisfaction generally obtained 

 from Brides and Maids. 



There are quite a few carnations still 

 coming in from old stock and some have 

 been of excellent quality; almost as 

 good as winter stock. Enchantress is 

 coming in from new stock, but is mostly 

 short-stemmed; however, the quality is 

 fine and before another week rolls around 

 we will see good, fair-stemmed stock on 

 the market. A few sweet peas are 

 seen, but the quality is poor and the 

 demand light. 



Asters have improved but little since 

 the last writing and it looks as though 

 we will have to fall back on the old 

 standby, carnations, although some 

 growers are expecting some good blooms 

 on the late cuts. Lilies are quite plen- 

 tiful now, both Easter and rubrum. 

 Gladioli are still in good supply and 

 are one of the best sellers. Potted 

 ferns are moving well, but the supply 

 here is running quite low. 



Various Notes. 



The Columbus Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting Tuesday evening, Au- 

 gust 8. On Saturday, August 12, the 

 same club enjoyed an outing at Heimen- 

 dale Grove. They had an auto parade 

 and a band in a large truck decorated 

 with palms, cedars, etc. The nine an- 

 tes in the parade were also decorated 

 with cut flowers and greens. 



Mrs. E. M. Kraus has retired from 

 the Riverside Floral Co. Ill health was 

 the cause of the change, and the other
