door varieties of the day, and many, 

 many more. This year they won the 

 championship and the 100 guinea chal- 

 lenge cup at the national show held in 

 London, July 9, not to mention many 

 gold medals and some fifty first prizes. 

 They received the highest award for 

 the finest exhibit of autumn roses ever 

 made in London, at the fall show held 

 September 24. Can Mr. Hill's enthusi- 

 asm over the great new rose Sunburst 

 outweigh these solid facts, or has he 

 varieties of equal merit and honors of 

 equal brilliancv to pit against them?

THE OLD-FASHIONED BOUQUET. 



It is the new fashions in old-fash- 

 ioned bouquets that occasion their pres- 

 ent popularity. The accompanying il- 

 lustration shows one of these arrange- 

 ments by the London Flower Shop, 

 Philadelphia. It is called an old-fash- 

 ioned bouquet, but not even the flowers 

 used are old-fashioned, for the most 

 popular flowers for this purpose are 

 the buds of the newer varieties of 

 roses. Mrs. Aaron Ward is a prime 

 favorite. Also, the lace holders are the 

 latest development of the supply deal- 

 ers' art. The addition of the ribbon 

 adds still further to the newness of the 

 old-fashioned bouquet.
