Geo. M. Garland, of Des Plaines, is 

 still with us and is feeling much better 

 for his stay in the southland. 



Speakman & Dille are in with a mag- 

 nificent cut of Killarney. 



Big orders for the fashion show were 

 reported by the H. N. Gage Co. The 

 quality of the Grand Monarque daffo- 

 dils has been elegant here and the poet- 

 icus varieties are just coming in. 



There is great consternation among 

 the damsels of Fourth street. Fred C. 

 Doxtal, the elusive blonde Beau Brum- 

 mell of the J. W. Welters force, is en- 

 gaged to be married; hence the weeping 

 and wailing among the unsuccessful 

 lassies. "Alas, poor Freddie! I knew 

 him well."

The Market. 



Business is holding up wonderfully, 

 considering the weather. Spring seems 

 to be here to stay. The sunshine for 

 the last few weeks has worked wonders 

 in bringing out the stock. Foliage is 

 coming out rapidly on the rose bushes 

 and shrubbery. Daffodils are bursting 

 into bloom on all sides. Carnations 

 and roses, especially Maids, are show- 

 ing the effect of the bright days. On 

 the whole, the florists are delighted, as 

 the lilies are rather backward. If 

 everything goes well for the next two 

 weeks they will be just right, but not 

 in an oversupply. Daffodils, freesias, 

 tulips, sweet peas and mignonette are 

 the principal spring flowers. Ramblers, 

 azaleas, rhododendrons, genistas and 

 lilacs are much in evidence in the win- 

 dows. 



Various Notes.

 stand in the New Oregon hotel.

Business is slightly better in all de- 

 partments of the flower trade. The 

 Lenten season usually brings quietness, 

 but this year it seems to have been more 

 pronounced than formerly. The last 

 two weeks, however, have shown im- 

 provement and, with Easter almost upon 

 us, flower sellers are showing brighter 

 faces. Stock of most varieties is fairly 

 abundant. Roses are about the only 

 item showing any scarcity. Carnations 

 a|:p plentifat and bringing? poor prices 

 for mostly poor quality flowers. Bulb 

 stock is selling well and pot plants, 

 ferns, etc., are moving nicely. There 

 will be a shortage on flowering plants 



THE NOVELTY 



OF THE SEASON 



"RAMON A" 



THE NEW RED 



CHEROKEE ROSE 



This sensational and magnlflcent new climbing rose occurred as a sport from the well- 

 known Pink Cherokee (Rosa Slnlca, var. Anemone). It Is a stronger and more rampant 

 grower than its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months floweih 

 in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop ot 

 bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pink or white forms, with brilliaiu 

 golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crimson color; an unusual 

 shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage Is absolutely mildew-proof, a rich, 

 glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in 

 our advertisement in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural 

 size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. 



The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dleterlch & Turner, at Monte- 

 bello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred 

 thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith 

 in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already bookea 

 orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that 

 "RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the 

 American trade. 



-RAMONA" 



will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf 

 and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting 

 on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition, 

 it makes an elegant hedge plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the 

 stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. 



We are offering plants of "RAMONA" at the following prices, cash with order: 

 In lots less than one hundred: From 2-inch pots, 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen; from 



3-lnch pots, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 

 In lots of one hundred to Ave hundred: From 2-lnch pots, $20.00 per one hundred; from 



3-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inch pots, $60.00. 

 In lots of Ave hundred to one thousand: From 2-inch pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 

 . 3-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand. 



Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored 

 plate shown in The Review of February 20th, at the rate of $3.60 per hundred, $30.00 per 

 thousand; larger quantities at special rates.
