Tirrell, C. Orsett and Hanover Green- 

 houses. 



April 25 Penn had one window en- 

 tirely devoted to pink snapdragons, 

 charmingly arranged. In another win- 

 dow pink sweet peas, Spiraea Queen 

 Alexandra and Tausendschon roses 

 made a pretty effect. 



A call at the seed stores April 25 

 showed all of them to be rushed to the 

 limit. In addition to the handling of 

 farm and garden seeds, a heavy busi- 

 ness is being done in grass seed, trees 

 and shrubs, gladioli, pansies and for- 

 get-me-nots. Box and bay trees are 

 also in demand. 



W. H. Ward, of Montvale, has had a 

 successful season with carnations, Mrs. 

 Ward having no trouble in disposing 

 of all at good prices, Callas still are 

 being cut in quantity. 



At Galvin 'a Tremont street store I 

 noted a nice lot of Dendrobium thyrsi- 

 florum. Yellow marguerites, sweet peas 

 and pink snapdragons are the favorite 

 cut flowers for window decoration here 

 at present. • 



Mothers' day will this year be made 

 more of than ever before in Boston. 

 Both wholesalers and retailers now 

 look upon this as an important flower 

 day and are preparing to meet the in- 

 creasing demand. All are of the opin- 

 ion that no special flower should be 

 recommended. In past years carna- 

 tions have boomed and other flowers 

 slumped. A wider range of flowers will 

 be used this year. W. N. Craig. 



Brattleboro, Vt. — Leon Mixer is 

 building a greenhouse to handle his 

 growing trade in tomato plants and 

 lettuce, which is now larger than can 

 be taken care of by his hotbeds. 



Waltliam, Mass. — James T. Silman 

 and Matthew F. Ruane both were the 

 victims of a check swindler recently 

 and each lost $8 on the same day. A 

 man pretending to represent a local pa- 

 triotic organization asked to have a 

 piece sent to a member's funeral and 

 tendered a $15 check in payment of the 

 bill of $7, raceiving $8 iiwcash. In- 

 vestigation Biter proved tBhr no one 

 had been delegated to buy flowers for 

 the organization. 



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. 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.
