tion plants are now so much off crop 

 that he has none to send in to the 

 wholesale market. 



Galvin's forces have been kept busy 

 since Easter with wedding orders. Or- 

 chids, sweet peas, yellow marguerites 

 and Spanish iris were conspicuous fea- 

 tures in the window displays April 18. 



April 19 is here kept as a holiday. 

 As this date fell on Sunday this year, 

 April 20 was kept as the official holi- 

 day. Wholesale markets closed at noon. 

 Business was, however, quite light for 

 a half day session. W. N. Craig. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The first part of Easter week rainy 

 weather prevailed, but Friday, Satur- 

 day and Sunday were ideal days. Busi- 

 ness was satisfactory and came up to 

 expectations in nearly all eases. On 

 the average, it was a little better than 

 last year. There was a large demand 

 for roses, carnations, violets and bulb- 

 ous stock, and as stock was plentiful 

 there was no real shortage. Potted 

 lilies were almost all sold. Azaleas 

 were not so much in demand. The 

 smaller rose plants sold well, but larger 

 ones did not move readily. Rhododen- 

 drons were practically all sold out. 

 Potted bulbous stock was in great de- 

 mand, also violets, heliotrope, heather, 

 etc. Large baskets did not sell well, 

 but the small ones cleaned up quickly. 

 There were quite a number of church 

 decorations and a lot of funeral work 

 during the rush. 



The week after Easter business was 

 good, with a large cut flower trade and 

 a number of wedding decorations and 

 a great deal of funeral work. Pansy 

 plants are coming into the market and 

 quite a number of beds have been set 

 out, but the weather has been too cold 

 for any great rush yet. 



Various Notes. 



Ostermann & Steele report business 

 good for Easter, and Sheehan says it 

 was away ahead of last year.

New Rose, Klllarney Brilliant 



THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN MANY YEARS. 



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

 — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It 

 is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. 



It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because 

 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 as 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. Wc 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.
