Afl 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 stiflF 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 feel sure it will maintain 

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

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

 than onesplit fiower a week from the five hundred plants."

The spring exhibition of the Wor- 

 cester County Horticultural Society, 

 March 7, was a splendid one, bringing 

 out a grand lot of exhibits. The ar- 

 rangement was pleasing and won many 

 compliments for the committee in 

 charge. For the best display of carna- 

 tions in twenty vases there was a fine 

 display, the awards going to L. C. 

 Midgley, A. B. Knowlton, Mrs. J. C. 

 Whitin, Wm. McAllister, gardener, and 

 Geo. W. Knowlton. In the single vase 

 class L. C. Midgley had handsome vases 

 of Alma Ward and Mrs. C. W. Ward, 

 while A. H. Knight, of Shrewsbury, had 

 fine White Enchantress. L. C. Midgley 

 was awarded the Blake medal for his 

 new seedling, Eureka, which was pro- 

 cured by crossing Old Glory, one of the 

 late F. A. Blake's seedlings, with Eob- 

 ert Craig. The resultant scarlet seed- 

 ling was crossed with Beacon and gave 

 a deep scarlet flower, which Mr. Midg- 

 ley now has some thousands of and 

 hopes to introduce. 



William Anderson, superintendent to 

 Bayard Thayer, South Lancaster, Mass., 

 also received a Blake medal for a 

 superb table of seedling amaryllis, the 

 finest ever seen in Worcester. Mrs. J. 

 C. Whitin and Geo. W. Knowlton se- 

 cured the orchid prizes. H. F. A. Lange 

 was first for cyclamen, specimen azalea, 

 three azaleas, Lorraine begonias, gen- 

 eral display of cut flowers, basket of 

 flowers, narcissi and tulips. He also 

 received a special prize for a large 

 group of palms and flowering plants. 

 James E. Draper received a special 

 award for a collection of boxwoods. 



Edward W. Breed was a large and 

 successful exhibitor, winning classes 

 for hyacinths, Primula Sinensis, Primula 

 obconica and Primula Kewensis. He 

 also had fine lots of narcissi, tulips, 

 cyclamen and other plants and a gen- 

 eral display of cut flowers. H. F. A. 

 Lange showed excellent pink and white 

 Killarneys, Mrs. Taft, Eichmond and 

 My Maryland roses. In addition to cut 

 flowers and plants there was a fine dis- 

 play of vegetables. W. N. C.
