To G. S. Ran.sbur«: " ^'^^ ^^«- N- Y- City. Apr. 25. 1914. 



Last year you sent me at Seabright, N. J., 3 dozen of the most per- 

 fect snapdragons. They flowered all summer and were a delight to our 

 eyes. I write for 6 dozen more to cost the same, $1.00 per dozen.*** 



Sincerely yours, MRS. F. A D. 



We have only a few thousand plants left. The price is still $20.00 per 1000; 

 $3.00 per 100; 200 for $5.00. All orders cash or C. 0. D. 

 Add a new winner to your list and order today.

quite well. Gladiolus Peach Blossom is 

 good and sells well. Sales of ferns and 

 asparagus are only moderate. 



Various Notes. 



W. Wells & Co., of Merstham, Eng- 

 land, the European disseminators of 

 Antirrhinum Nelrose, received an award 

 of merit for that variety from the Royal 

 Horticultural Society April 20. Mr. 

 Wells states that his plants are now a 

 mass of bloom and that he will stage 

 a 100-foot group at the coming great 

 Chelsea show, both plants and cut flow- 

 ers, and is advertising the fact in four- 

 teen British horticultural papers. 



Edward Bingham, of Dedham, is just 

 finishing picking a heavy crop of Eng- 

 lish primroses. He has a large quan- 

 tity of Spencer sweet peas which will 

 be in heavy crop for Memorial day. 



Harry Quint says business at hisi 

 store, 164 Tremont street, has been most 

 satisfactory of late. He has hired a va- 

 cant store at 203 Tremont street, where 

 he has ten men busy on Memorial day 

 goods, for which good orders already are 

 coming in. 



Work on the convention garden in 

 the Back Bay fens is well advanced 

 and quite a few shipments of shrubs, 

 perennials, etc., have arrived. A large 

 number of applications are also to hand 

 for space. The local board of manage- 

 ment has established headquarters at 

 120 Boylston street and "has regular 

 meetings each Tuesday and Saturday. 



Mothers' day is being well advertised 

 this year, not only by individual retail- 

 ers but on the, cooperative basis. Re- 

 tailers, wholesalers, salesmen and grow- 

 ers have contributed to a fund for spe- 

 cial advertisements in the leading Bos- 

 ton dailies calling attention to the day, 

 which should bring benefits to all. It 

 looks now as if the volume of business 

 will be fifty per cent greater than a 

 year ago. 



McAlpine & McDonald have had a 

 busy week, with a remarkable run on 

 roses. May 2 they were completely 

 cleaned out. 



Peirce Bros, are cutting a fine lot of 

 Lilium Jamesii, which they find a satis- 

 factory variety. 



May 2 Boston saw a war of the roses, 

 the occasion being the parade of 10,000 

 women suffragists whose emblems were 

 yellow roses, daffodils and other yellow 

 flowers. At the same time the anti-guf- 

 fragists cleaned up the market of prac- 

 tically all red and deep pink roses. The 



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.
