The Florists' Review

Are You Buying a Product 



or a By-product? 



PERHAPS you know the difference as applied to greenhouse plants. You know 

 there are always a few left-overs that are the by-products. You know that 

 when a firm grafts 700,000 Roses to sell, and has established a reputation for 

 quality in the plants sent out, these plants are not the culls from someone's 

 planting. €[ That is why we want to talk Roses with you. We have the 

 best list we have ever offered. 



Killarney Brilliant and Hadley are the new Roses we are offering. 



Mrs. Russelly Mrs. Shawyer and Milady of last season's introduction.

 List. Special prices on 2500 or more. Use printed stationery or give references. 



A. N. PIERSON, Inc. Cromwell, Conn. 



rose, from A. N. Pierson, was grand and 

 received a report of merit. Everyone 

 predicted grand things for this new- 

 comer. E. H. Borowski showed superb 

 commercial cyclamens, such as ho 

 wholesales quantities of at $4 each. 

 No finer commercial plants were ever 

 shown in Boston. They were awarded 

 a cultural report of merit. S. J. God- 

 dard had splendid vases of Fink De- 

 light, White Perfection, Kosette and 

 Beacon carnations, Edward Winkler 

 showed his new light pink seedling, 

 Morning Glow, and a fine vase of yel- 

 low marguerites. Peter Fisher had 

 Gorgeous, and a new light pink seed- 

 ling, No. 144. Mr. Fisher predicted 

 that Gorgeous will be much more heav- 

 ily grown in 1915, and said it will give 

 three-fourths as many flowers as ordi- 

 nary carnations, and realize much 

 higher prices. W. E. Thornhill had 

 splendid vases of Euphorbia jacquinise- 

 rtora and Leptosyne maritima. Patten 

 it Co. had a vase of Princess Dagmar 

 that loomed up finely. Thomas Koland 

 had splendid vases of the new winter 

 flowering Spencer sweet peas, and Will- 

 iam Sim a good selection of grandi- 

 flora sweet peas. Several shipments of 

 carnations came too late for the meet- 

 ing. Philadelphia arrived twenty-four 

 hours late from Detroit, in good con- 

 dition. 



There was an animated discussion on 

 yellow marguerites and how to bloom 

 them in winter; pot, bench and bed cul- 

 tures were all suggested. Edward 

 Winkler said h^ readily got $4 per hun- 



r^L^or iis best flowers. P. Welch said 

 y thousands more could be sold. 

 jMnes Wheeler. F. W. Fletcher, H. H. 

 Bftrtsch^ M. P. Haendler and others 

 joined in the discussion. F. W. Fletcher
