The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



33 



of the Dahlia Season 



The Dahlia has come rapidly to 

 the front as a cut flower of late 

 years and is now indispensable in 

 every well conducted flower store. 

 Many new and beautiful varieties 

 have been introduced recently, most 

 of which we have tried out for cut 

 flower purposes, and our experience 

 in that connection is one of value. 

 We recommend only such as are of 



1st, superior lasting^ quality, 

 2d, of sfood form, 

 3d, s:ood stem, and 

 4th, g:ood clear color. 



We represent the principal grow- 

 ers of Acto and Hammonton and 

 others in this vicinity and can offer 

 unexcelled service. 



The earlier varieties are now 

 arriving in fine condition and we 

 will have a regular supply of the 

 later sorts as the season advances. 



We offer for this season 



storm King, Perie d*Or and Snowclad, among 

 the whites; LIvonI and Sylvia, pink; Agnew, 

 Lyndhurst and Red Hussar, crimson; Arabella 

 and Brutun, yellow. 



$2.00 and $2.50 per 100. 



We will also have a limited supply of 



Jack Rose, the brilliant new crimson, and 



Delice, the beautiful new pink decorative, the 



greatest keeper of them all, which we can famish 



at $4.00 per 100. 



NOTK:— As tbe supply of the last two varieties is very limited, 

 orders should be placed as much in advance aa possible.

Mention The Review when you write 



ley of colors might suit a Frenchman but 

 would not do here, and dismissed the mat- 

 ter. This first sight of the Lyon rose 

 made me feel that perhaps those French 

 judges were not so far wrong after all; 

 at any rate it would bear watching as a 

 novelty of merit, the colors being remark- 

 ably clear and soft for a rose grown in 

 the open air. 



We spent fully an hour in that rose 

 garden, just walking down one frame of 

 2-year-olds and back the other frame of 

 yearlings, and it was an hour I shall long 

 remember with pleasure. It is difficult to 

 tell you much about it; better go there 

 and see them, or, better still, have a rose 

 garden of your own, perhaps not on so 

 kirge a scale, where you can grow your 

 favorite hybrid teas of several varieties 

 «idp bv side.
