A GRAND NEW 

 ...C A R N A T I O N 



•t« 



BRIGHT SPOT 



outclasses everything^ heretofore gprow^n in the 

 dark pink section. Won first honors in the 100 class 

 for best dark pink at the A. C. S. meeting, Pittsburg, 

 January, 1910, also at the Chicago Flower Show, Novem- 

 ber, 1909. 



It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even shade, size 



3>^inches, an early and continuous bloomer, brings fully 



25 per cent more flowers to the plant than Laweon at its 



best ; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems ; calyx does 



not split. It is a good shipper, and the cuttings root easy. 



Price, per 100, $18.00; 86 at 100 rate; 

 per 1000, $100.00; 860 at 1000 rate; 

 per 6000, $400.00.

The Market. 



Trade during the last week has been 

 just as brisk as the supply of flowers 

 would permit. Nothing that would 

 pass even a slight inspection has been 

 permitted to go to waste. Carnations 

 have been scarce; at no time has the 

 supply been large enough to cover the 

 orders on hand, and there has been a 

 constant clamor for more good stock. 



Sweet peas have come to the market 

 in average amounts, but the flowers are 

 not of an especially good quality. It 

 is certain that extra good sweet peas 

 would find a ready sale, as during the 

 last few weeks almost every woman of 

 fashion has been using sweet peas for 

 corsage bouquets. 



Tulips and narcissi are coming in 

 good quantities, and both the potted 

 bulbs and cut fiowers find a ready sale. 

 The Trumpet varieties of narcissi are 

 most in demand and have been retailing 

 at 50 cents a dozen. Violets are still 

 plentiful and popular; 50 cents a bunch 

 is the prevailing retail price. 



Club Meeting. 



The first meeting of the Florists ' As- 

 sociation since the election of George 

 B. Hart as president, was held on Mon- 

 day evening, February 13, at the new 

 rooms, 135 Main street, east. President 

 Hart outlined some plans for making 

 the meetings of the year especially in- 

 teresting, one plan being to secure com- 

 petent speakers to deliver addresses on 

 topics of interest to florists and grow- 

 ers, including greenhouse management, 

 propagating and marketing. 



George Arnold, superintendent of the 

 Vick seed farm, gave an interesting 

 talk on sowing seeds and growing 

 plants for seed purposes. E. F. E. 



Brookville, Mass. — P. O. Burnham 

 has purchased the land and greenhouse 

 owned by G. Frank Swasey, on West 

 avenue.
