The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 8, 1910. 



ROSE STOCK FOR 1911 



It is an undisputerl fact that the quality of the plants which are sent out by us is above question. We grow what we 

 sell, and sell only what we grow. We are planning for 1,250,000 Rose plants for the spring trade and expect to be able to 

 fill all orders, whether large or small. This is all stock for forcing, and not nursery stock. We want your patronage and 

 can give you in return the best plants that can be produced. Our leaders will be

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



[Continued from page 38.] 

 down to the little fellows for basket 

 work, all were good and wonderfully 

 uniform. The variety favored is the 

 dark red sort. One house is filled with 

 the double variety, which gives promise 

 of great popularity as soon as it is 

 better known; the heads are particu- 

 larly effective. 



The cyclamens, a specialty here, are 

 well-nigh perfect; from the little fellow 

 for basket work to the big specimen, 

 all are shapely and full of buds; the 

 salmon pink is a pleasing addition to 

 the range of colors. The begonias in- 

 clude Lorraine, the Lonsdale type and 

 ulory of Cincinnati; all three exhibited 

 skillful culture, and — what was particu- 

 larly pleasing — the houses where they 

 are growing are cold, an all-important 

 fact to their ultimate possessor. The 

 azaleas are confined to Madame Patrick 

 and Vervseneana, with a few Firefly for 

 color's sake — a wise choice of colors 

 that excludes white. 



The foliage plant section comprises 

 the dracaenas, crotons, ferns, ficus, pan- 

 danus, arecas, the berried aucubas and 

 the hardy boxwood and abies. The 

 dracasnas are so fine that they are 

 placed even ahead of the crotons, which 

 speaks for itself, for you know the 

 crotons here are wonderful. Dracaena 

 Massangeana is simply superb in all 

 sizes. Dracaena terminalis, just in from 

 Norwood, was strikingly handsome, 

 with a richness of coloring suggestive 

 of health and of Christmas. The crotons 

 were colored with that bright red and 

 yellow, contrasting strongly with green, 

 seen here as it is seen nowhere else. 

 The ferns of the Boston family, both 

 plain-leaved and crested, spoke by their 

 numbers of the confidence felt in their 

 favor. Ficus pandurata was quite as 

 good, if not a little better, than the 

 standard of previous years. Pandanus 

 utilis was well grown and free from 

 blemish. Aucuba Japonica had an un- 

 usual number of berries that are al- 

 ready colored — quite a feat for so early 

 in the season, which shows it is advis- 

 able sometimes to take a chance, or, as 

 the good doctor says, to "do your im- 

 prudence prudently." 



The strongest of the hardy section 

 was the boxwood, a fine lot of speci- 

 mens, looking particularly well. 



The whole collection marks a distinct 

 advance in the selection apd culture of 

 Christmas plants, the recognition of the 

 necessities of color, durability and vari-
