Elliott, died at New London, Conn., 

 March 15. Mrs. Elliott was born at 

 Kendal, England, in 1827. She lived 

 for many years in Wisconsin, where W. 

 H. Elliott was born, later returning 

 cast and settling in New London. She 

 was in her eighty-eighth year. She was 

 at one time a member of the S. A. F. 

 and attended many of the conventions. 



E. J. Ahern, of Wellesley, is strong 

 at present on English primroses and 

 calendulas. 



Harry Quint, at 164 Tremont street, 

 keeps making improvements in his 

 store, until now it is a thoroughly up- 

 to-date ono. He does a large business 

 in baskets of flowers, putting these up 

 attractively and selling the baskets at 

 reasonable prices. I am glad to see 

 this bright and progressive young man 

 doing so well. He had a large decora- 

 tion March 19, at Whitney hall, Brook- 

 line. 



The club field day with the W. W. 

 Edgar Co., March 28, promises to be 

 largely attended. Members and friends 

 are asked to take Cambridge tunnel 

 trains so as to reach Waverley at 2 

 o'clock; the running time is thirty 

 minutes. 



Frank J. Dolansky, in addition to his 

 crops of cattleyas and gardenias, is 

 sending in fine lots of sweet peas and 

 c alias. He will have a splendid crop 

 of cattleyas and gardenias for Easter. 



Carl Everburg, of Woburn, who is a 

 leading bulb specialist, has a grand 

 house of Spencer peas coming into crop. 



L. E. Small, of Tewksbury, went to 

 the New York show March 20, taking 

 some of his splendid bachelor's buttons 

 with him. 



F. H. Houghton reports trade as ex- 

 ceptionally good. He has had some 

 heavy funeral orders of late. The new 

 French hydrangeas are popular here; 

 also Ehododendron Pink Pearl. 



The first mayflowers of the season 

 were noted in H. E. Comley's window 

 March 20. Hedgehog-shaped recepta- 

 cles of Asplenium Nidus- Avis were also 

 noted. 



In MacMulkin's large show window 

 a handsome display of standard double 

 pink cherries and Mrs. Cutbush roses 

 were noted. 



H. F. Woods, of Brookline, and Ed- 

 ward Bingham, of Dedham, are two vio- 

 let specialists whose flowers are worthy 

 of special note. 



Wax Bros, report trade as highly 



New Rose, Klllarney Brilliant 



THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN MANY.. YEARS. 



We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Kilfiffney 

 — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many yii^9. It 

 is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brillian^ colQj^ 



It is a great ijpprovement on the original pink Killarney; first,- tftcause 

 of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright 

 weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when 

 the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, 

 Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety 

 at its best. In addition to its great superiority in color, the flower is 

 almost twice ad large, having from twenty-five to forty full-sized petals. 



It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but 

 has double the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller 

 flower; and it is also very much more productive, having the same 

 habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent. 



We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past win- 

 ter, planted in the same house with the original and the double pink 

 Killarney, and when those varieties faded so as to be almost unmarket- 

 able, Killarney Brilliant was superb. We are thoroughly convinced that 

 it will immediately supplant the original Killarney as the standard mar- 

 ket variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be compelled to plant 

 it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, who 

 has seen it growing, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs 

 no advertising; it sells itself.

satisfactory. They do a heavy busi- 

 ness in high-grade sweet peas, double 

 cornflowers, violets and choice roses, 

 which are always attractively dis- 

 played. 



Theodore Wirth hftd an appreciative 

 audieace at Horticultural hall Saturday 

 morning, March 21, when he lectured 

 on the parks of Minneapolis. Stereop- 

 ticon views added interest to the lec- 

 ture. The same afternoon Dr. Perley 

 Spaulding, Washington, D. C, lectured 

 on "Some Undesirable Foreign Plant 

 Diseases." The lecturer failed to en- 

 lighten his audience as to what he con- 

 sidered desirable plant diseases.
