The Herald is the Beet Commercial Scarlet for you to grow, because it will produce more perfect 

 flowers in a season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price than any other; because the flowers are 

 all perfect; stem stiff and keeps the longest. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong, well rooted and 

 satisfactory in every respect. 



Rooted Cutting* will be ready January 1, 1913. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. 



At this writing everything is in 

 readiness for Thanksgiving. There is 

 an abundance of chrysanthemums on 

 hand, and they are all of good quality. 

 Carnations are much improved, retail- 

 ing at 75 cents per dozen. All kinds 

 of roses are good, with the exception of 

 Bichmonds. These are only fair and arc 

 scarce. Beauties, too, are rather short 

 of the demand. Violets are excellent 

 and a big sale is expected for Thanks- 

 giving. Valley is selling better now 

 Snd is of first-class quality. Orchids 

 are going, but there is no great de- 

 mand. Some good cyclamens and aza- 

 leas are being displayed at the various 

 shops. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Brat, of Agawam, spent several 

 days on the Wesson estate doing gar 

 dening work. The estate is in Palmer, 

 Mass. 



N. F. McCarthy & Co., of Boston, 

 sent some good Richmond roses to this 

 city last week. 



Sam Eintrecht, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 New York, is calling on the city trade. 



The boilers at E. B. Beals' establish- 

 ment on Eastern avenue gave out a 

 short time ago and he had to use oil 

 stoves to keep his stock warm. His 

 carnations were greatly retarded by 

 the unfortunate happening. 



"The Underworld of the Plant King- 

 dom" was the subject of the lecture 

 given November 20 by A. Vincent 

 Osmun, under the auspices of the Mu- 

 seum of Natural History, in Blake 

 hall. This is the first of a series of 

 eleven botanical lectures to which the 

 public is invited. 



A new store, called the Flower Mart, 

 opened November 16 at 80 Main street. 

 It is finished in white enamel through- 

 out. Nelson F. Higgins and Fred E. 

 Vetter are the proprietors. 



Meacham & Hassell have added a 

 large new mirror to their fixtures, 

 which greatly improves the appearance 

 of their store. 



Mark Aitken did a large decoration 

 for the Brewster-Bease wedding Novem- 

 ber 21. 



THE NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE 



"Mrs. Charles Russell'' 



€L This giant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the 



Waban Rose Conservatories and has been tested in our 



houses for several years. 

 <!, It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom 



of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an 



American Beauty. 



IL Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully 

 sweet fragrance, are the admiratioQ of all who have seen it, 

 either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the 

 different shows. 



<t It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as 

 Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold 

 Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society. 



Plants will be ready for delivery after IMarch 1, 1913 



Own Roots, $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per lOOO. Grafted. $6.00 per lOO extra
