Two New Roses Every Grower 



Will Want NextYear 



Irish Fire Flame 



The dainty new Single Rose, trimmest and sweet- 

 est little bud ever seen— and well named as to its 

 lovely color. A Dickson seedling of strong, vigorous 

 growth, very free, particularly during the winter; color, 

 fiery crimson, shading to a rich orange salmon at the base; 

 foliage a dark green, reverse side of leaf deep bronze, a dis- 

 tinct novelty; nothing to compare with it; a new departure in roses, beautiful and 

 charming; a favorite wherever shown. 



Mrs. Charles Russell 



A new American pedigree seedling. Of American Beauty size and 

 fragrance; color a lighter cerise that does not fade to blue, but to a 

 llgtter rose as the flowers age; a strong, vigorous grower: good heavy stems; flow- 

 ers carried erect ; no weak necks ; no blind wood like Beauty ; very prolific, remark- 

 ably so, considering its size. As tested in the various shows over the country this 

 fall, it has proven a wonderful keeper and established itself at once as a rose of 

 unusual merit, creating a sen.sation wherever shown, and attracting not only the 

 commercial man, but the public as well.

Large orders were filled at $125 for 

 10,000. The snow storm seriously cur- 

 tailed the demand for this flower. Val- 

 ley sold well at $4 per hundred. Cat- 

 tleyas moved freely at $50, $60 and $75 

 per hundred, usually ungraded except 

 at the last named figure. Gardenias 

 were not overplentiful. There was a 

 good demand. Prices ranged from $3 

 to $6 per dozen. Bouvardia brought 

 $5 to $6; mignonette, $6 to $10; sweet 

 peas, $1 to $1.50; Paper Whites, $3; 

 Trumpet Major, $4 to $5; Eomans, $2 

 to $3; daisies, $1.50 to $2, and stevia, 



$1. There was some activity in poin- 

 settias as the holiday approached; $3 

 per dozen was the usual price. White 

 lilac was popular at $1.50 per bunch 

 and snapdragon at $1.50 to $2.50 per 

 dozen. Asparagus and smilax were 

 little used. 



Business was excellent on the day 

 after Christmas, indicating that there 

 was little stock left in the hands of 

 the buyers. Prices fell slowly. There 

 was a brisk demand for white flowers 

 for funeral work, which helped clear 

 up the only Christmas oversupply. 



Violets, in the absence of receipts un- 

 wisely held back, maintained their 

 Christmas price, with little trading. 

 The heavier shipments of carnations 

 indicate that the plants are coming into 

 crop. While business continues to de- 

 crease, the prospects for New Year's 

 are excellent, although there are few 

 advance orders.
