Try GOLDEN QUEEN and PRESIDENT TAFT for forcing. 



One customer writes under date of May 25th: — 



"The Golden Queen that I ordered from you were planted in a carnation 

 house on February 7th, and we are now getting fine spikes and handsome flowers. 

 I find your variety to be one week earlier than Mrs. Francis King, ten days earlier 

 than Augusta and two weeks ahead of America. They have been perfectly satisfac- 

 tory in every way." 



I have also a fine stock of Mrs. King^, Klondyke, Taconic, Independence, Brenchleyensis, Geo. Paul 



and other kinds. Write lor trade list.

was J. Dutbie, who spoke on the society 

 and what it is doing. Frank Traendly 

 responded for the S. A. F. Charles H. 

 Totty gave an interesting talk on the 

 National Flower Show, to be held in 

 New York city in 1913, and asked the 

 gardeners to do all they could to help 

 make the show a success. F. Bowne 

 spoke on the pleasure of living in Glen 

 Cove. J. A. Shaw responded for the 

 trade press and William Davis for the 

 local press. G. Wittlinger, who is presi- 

 dent of the Tarrytown Horticultural 

 Society, spoke for that society, and 

 William Duckham for the Morris 

 County Gardeners' and Morists' So- 

 ciety. The speaking was interspersed 

 by vocal music, which was rendered 

 by Messrs. MacNicol, Kinnear and 

 Bocks, and was greatly enjoyed by the 

 guests. At the finish all joined in 

 singing "Auld Lang Syne." 



All agree that this was the most 

 successful and enjoyable banquet the 

 society ever held, and much credit is 

 due the committee, Messrs. Trepess, 

 Everett and Brown, who did all the 

 work and little feasting.

The Market. 



Last week was dull in the florists' 

 business. Stock is not plentiful, owing 

 to the short days, gray skies and cold 

 weather, but neither is the demand 

 great. Prices keep up fairly well, but 

 deliveries are difficult, owing to the 

 slippery condition of the streets. A 

 considerable number of dinners are be- 

 ing given in society, but there are no 

 especially large decoration contracts re- 

 ported. 



Eoses are moving well, but with that 

 exception stock is going slowly. Car- 

 nations are cheaper, selling from 2^to 

 4 cents, and not many going even at 

 those prices. McKinley day, which 

 was supposed to produce a run on car- 

 nations, fell flat and the rush did not 

 materialize. In fact, the number of 

 carnations sold may have been smaller 

 than on any other day, owing to a 

 sleet storm that prevailed. 



Jonquils are plentiful and selling 

 pretty well, and quantities of migno- 

 nette, long-stemmed sweet peas, green- 

 house lilacs, tulips and various potted
