As a medium-priced ' ' red ' ' it haa a very promising future 



From the Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., where this has been grown on trial, we 

 have a letter under date of Nov. 24, 1911, saying: "So far we like the new seedling very 

 much; the color of the fiower is fine and the size good. The stems are stiff and the 

 number of blooms to a plant shows it will be a good producer." 



E. J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., who has been growing five hundred on trial, writes us 

 under date of Jan. 8, 1912: "So far this season this variety has produced more than 

 double the blooms Beacon has, planted in the same house, and I feel sure it will maintain 

 its lead the balance of the season. It is of a much brighter color than Beacon, flower as 

 large, with a good stem, and a calyx that practically does not split, not averaging more 

 than one_split flowed a week from the five hundred plants."

Various Notes. 



Owing to important business matters, 

 W. N. Budd, who was personally to 

 address the Detroit Florists* Club at 

 the meeting of February 19, could not 

 be present. His paper, entitled "Where 

 Some of Us Are Lame," was read and 

 brought forth an interesting discus- 

 sion; in fact, it contained so much 

 food for thought that it was moved 

 that it be read again at the meeting 

 of March 4. 



J. J. Karins, of Henry A. Dreer's, 

 was in attendance at the meeting of 

 February 19 and reported business in 

 general all over the country as being 

 good and the prospects fine. 



Henry Eahaley and Adolph Thoman 

 were unanimously elected members of 

 the Detroit Florists' Club. 



Albert Havrane, of Walkerville, 

 shipped over one ton of lettuce to the 

 Detroit market during the last two 

 weeks. 



Eeports concerning Valentine's day 

 show that this year's business for this 

 event far exceeded that of any previ- 

 ous year. The extremely cold weather 

 just previous to February 14 was 

 thought to be partly the cause of tho 

 increase in business, as people took ad- 

 vantage of the milder weather. 



With the coming of warmer weather 

 the coal situation is somewhat relieved. 

 Matters looked pretty serious at times, 

 but now that warmer weather is assured 

 relief is in sight. 



Hugo Schroeter, representing the 

 Pulverized Manure Co., of Chicago, is 

 booking many orders for the firm 's 

 products in and about Detroit. 



The Gardening Society, composed of 

 many of Detroit's most prominent 

 ladies, was addressed on the subject 

 of "Annuals" at its meeting at Mrs. 

 Newberry's residence on Tuesday, Feb- 

 ruary 20, by a member of our club. 



Elmer Smith, of Adrian, was in De- 

 troit February 19, but could not re- 

 main over for the meeting, owing to 

 sickness at home. H. S.
