A Seedui{ of S. N. HERWARTH & BRO., Eiston, Pa. vS^:^ 



Parentage, HARLOWARDEN and ENCHANTRESS 



As a medium-priced ' ' red ' ' it has a very promising future 



From the Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., where this has been grown on trial, we 

 have a letter under date of Nov. 24, 1911, saying: " So far we like the new seedling very 

 much; the color of the flower is fine and the size good. The stems are stiff and the 

 number of blooms to a plant shows it will be a good producer." 



E. J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., who has been growing five hundred on trial, writes ua 

 under date of Jan. 8, 1912: "So far this season this variety has produced more than 

 double the blooms Beacon has, planted in the same house, and I f6el sure it will maintain 

 its lead the balance of the season. It is of a much brighter color than Beacon, flower as 

 large, with a good stem, and a calyx that practically does not split, not averaging more 

 than one split flower a week from the flve hundred plants."

The Market. 



Business last week was more lively 

 flMin last reported, but not enough so to 

 relieve the market of the oversupply 

 of bulbous stock and carnations. The 

 latter, while altogether too plentiful, 

 can be disposed of at a low figure. On 

 the other hand, bulbous stock is almost 

 impossible to move at any price. Nev- 

 ertheless more is grown every year. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Fetters purchased an Overland 

 light delivery automobile and hopes 

 to have it in commission about the sec- 

 ond week in March. This is a lighter 

 car than the one Mr. Fetters is now 

 using and will be used for general de- 

 livery when loads are light. 



Robert Rahaley and Albert Pochelon 

 have been spending the last week in 

 New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Buth- 

 erford, N. J,, and other eastern cities. 



The members of the Detroit Florists' 

 Club will be the guests of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Chas. Plumb at their greenhouses 

 some afternoon this month. Mr. Plumb 

 recently erected a fine salesroom, pack- 

 ing shed and office, and this visit of 

 the club will be in the nature of a 

 house warming. Mrs. Plumb has been 

 seriously ill at a local hospital, but is 

 getting along nicely at present. 



Mrs. Patterson, mother of Murray 

 Patterson, has just returned from a 

 three months' visit in Scotland. 



A handsome, first-class theater is in 

 course of construction on Broadway, 

 almost across from Breitmeyer's store. 

 This, with the beautiful new market, 

 which will soon be completed, should 

 liven up things on Broadway. 



Mr. Pochelon, of the L. Bemb Floral 

 Co., will formally open his beautiful 

 new store and conservatory March 18. 

 H. S. 



Newburyport, Mass.— Frank J. Mc- 

 Gregor, son of C. J. McGregor, the 

 Chapel street florist, is taking a special 

 course of training at the Massachusetts 

 Agricultural College.
