The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Dbcbmbbb 7, 1911. 



THE NEW YELLOW 



FORCING ROSE 



SINBIRST 



This magnificent, giant yellow rose has been tested for 

 three years in our benches ; it stands head and shoulders 

 above all other sorts of its color and will rank with 

 American Beauty and the Killarneys in value and 

 grandeur— because 



It hag a long, pointed bud, which can be cut tight for 

 market. It is pre-eminently a long-stemmed rose. The 

 stem is always stiff. It is free in bottom breaks. Is 

 extraordinarily vigorous and healthy. Belongs in the 

 class of Big Iloaes. Its keeping qualities rank with 

 the best. Buds shipped from Richmond last December 

 opened up perfectly in both Philadelphia and New York, 

 where it scored 90 before the Florists Club. 



The color is orange-copper or golden orange and golden 

 yellow, all intense shades, extremely brilliant in effect. 



Come and see it growing; we have 8,000 of it benched. 



Does splendidly out of doors ; will rank high as a bed- 

 der. At the Chicago show, 1910, it was awarded the 

 silver cup for the best new rose never before exhibited, 

 and the judges unanimously gave it honorable mention 

 additional. Has created a sensation wherever shown. 



Raised by M. Pemet-Ducher, from whopi we bought 

 the American rights. 



We have divided our stock with Mr. C. H. Totty, of 

 Madison, N. J., to give eastern growers a chance to see 

 it growing. Will be distributed March 1 in America by 

 C. H. Totty and The E. G. HiU Co. Mr. Pernet will 

 distribute same date in Europe. 



The American price is $30.00 per 100; $860.00 per 1000 (own roots); $6.00 per 100 additional for ^afts

the older houses. Mr. Harvey thought 

 that the strain grown by Ernst P. 

 Hoehl was superior to his own; he has 

 therefore sown Mr, Hoehl 's seed 

 throughout, reserving only a few of his 

 own for comparison. The mignonette 

 is grown for a winter crop, from 

 Thanksgiving until January, when it is 

 replaced by young stock from the car- 

 nation propagating house. 



The entire place looked well. The 

 two modern houses form an interesting 

 comparison with the older houses; the 

 stock in the newer houses did not ap- 

 pear to be any better than in the old- 

 style houses adjoining, but the newer 

 houses are undoubtedly more easily 

 heated and, more economically operated. 

 It is probable that a comparison njade 

 in the end of February would not be so 

 favorable for the old-timers as todav*.

 plants sold well. They had a fine lo); 

 of cyclamens, poinsettias and Be- 

 gonia Glory of Cincinnati. Chrysanthe- 

 mums Were all cleaned up. American 

 Beauties were short. Violets and 

 valley sold well. They have a seed- 

 ling carnation of Lawson color that is 

 decidedly promising. They are raising 

 a number of seedlings with a view to 

 getting a strain especially adapted to 

 their soil. S. H.

 The body was found a few minutes 

 after by the crew of a local freight 

 train. It was badly mangled and the 



clothes torn. One of the letters on the 

 unfortunate man was a letter of recom- 

 mendation from E. G. Hill Co., which 

 recommended Presley highly and Indi- 

 cated that he was a florist.
