what each would give per hundred foot 

 run of bench. With one lot of Killarney, 

 grafted stock planted in May and which 

 he started to cut from early in August, 

 he had 65,000 flowers from 6,000 plants 

 in thirty-two days. With him Richmond, 

 Bride and Bridesmaid are about half the 

 value of Killarney. Saf rano grown in a 

 small way proves extremely profitable. 

 Richmond's faults are a weak stem, 

 smaller flowers and the fact that it loses 

 color quickly, although less speedily than 

 Beauty. It is a great pity that Rhea 

 Reid fades as it does, for it is in many 

 respects a grand rose. He hopes E. G. 

 Hill Co. will be able to give some fur- 

 ther valuable additions in the near fu- 

 ture, as a new American race of forcing 

 roses seems to be coming. He will try 

 some My Maryland for. summer, but will 



not yet pull out any Killarney to make 

 room for it. Bridesmaid now seems to 

 be gradually going out of style, but no 

 other rose has ever netted the growers 

 the money that this variety has done. 



Speaking of home-grown Manetti 

 stocks, he said he once raised 4,000 as 

 a trial, froze and rested them, but they 

 did not prove nearly so good as imported 

 stock. He criticised the American Rose 

 Society for not allowing other roses to 

 be pinched in the same way as Killarney. 

 It is the way to get big exhibition 

 blooms on long, strong stems. 



Eber Holmes said it is possible from 

 a single rose bud to raise 500 plants in 

 one season, and if that can be done, 250,- 

 000 in ten years is quite feasible. With 

 him Killarney is the most profitable sort. 

 Bridesmaid pays better than Bride. 



P. Welch said Killarney is the best 

 seller, Richmond coming second. He 

 thinks it debatable if White Killarney 

 will displace Bride. Roses are with his 

 firm still ahead of carnations in money 

 turned over, but carnations are now 

 pressing them rather closely. 



The meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, May 18, when Peter Bis- 

 set, of Washington, D. C. will give a 

 stereopticon lecture on "The Water Gar- 

 den," promises to draw out a large at- 

 tendance. Many ladies will probably be 

 included in the audience.
