Ab a medium-priced "red " it has 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 flower 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 balapce 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 flower a week from the five hundred plants."

The program for Farmers' Week at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 has just been issued. A new feature 

 this year will be a day devoted to 

 glass house agriculture. The morning 

 of Thursday, March 14, will be devoted 

 to a consideration of market garden- 

 ing problems, and in the afternoon and 

 evening more distinctly floricultural 

 subjects will be under consideration. 

 At 1:30 H. D. Haskins, of the Massa- 

 chusetts Experiment Station, will speak 

 on "Fertilizers for Glass House Agri-

 tensive studies along the line of com- 

 mercial fertilizers for greenhouse crops. 

 At 3 p. m. Dr. H. H. Whetzel, of the 

 Department of Plant Pathology, Cor- 

 nell University, will speak on "Plant 

 Disease Problems of the Florist." Dr. 

 Whetzel has made wide investigations 

 on this subject and is an authority on 

 plant diseases. At 7 o'clock Dr. H. T. 

 Fernald, of the Massachusetts Experi- 

 ment Station, will speak on "Some Re- 

 cent Investigations in Greenhouse Fu- 

 migation." 



In addition to these addresses on
