RUSSELL 



A MONTGOMERY SEEDLING 



' ■ . Of American Beauty size and fragrance;' color a lighter ^^^^^ 



cerise that does not fade to blue but to a lighter rose as the ^UAI*%*^ ' 

 flowers age; a strong, vigorous grower; good heavy stems; flowers carried erect, 

 no weak necks; no blind wood like Beauty; very prolific, remarkably so consid- 

 ering its size. As tested in the rarioiis shows over the country this fall, it nas 

 proven a wonderful keeper and established itself at once as a rose of unusual 

 merit, creating a sensation wherever shown, and attracting not only the com- 

 mercial man but the public as well.

minalis shows a color suggestive of 

 Christmas, a color bright enough to 

 gladden the heart of every true grower. 

 The crotons feel at home and they 

 show it. Phoenix Roebelenii is in splen- 

 did form; its place among the staples 

 is assured. The variegated pineapple, 

 Ananassa sativa variegata, modestly 

 claims a place among the novelties, a 

 claim that no one who has seen this 

 splendid block of plants with their 

 beautiful green and white, pink-crested 

 in maturity, can fail to admit. The 

 stock of ferns of Boston type is lower 

 than usual at this season. 



Various Notes. 



The demand for Christmas plants, 



says the Robert Craig Co., has started 

 with a rush. Made-up birchbark ham- 

 pers are attracting attention. Robert 

 A. Craig's aim has been to get a large 

 plant in each size of pot. The result 

 is that many of the plants are equal to 

 those often seen in the next larger size. 

 The short valley crop abroad will 

 cause higher prices here. The weather 

 is said to have prevented the pips from 

 manuring. 



E. J. Faneourt left December 2 for a 

 three weeks' business trip through the 

 middle west. 



The opening of the new Ritz-Carlton 

 hotel this week will be signalized by 

 the appearance of some handsome win- 

 dow boxes from J. J. Habermehl 's Sons. 



This firm had a record day at the 

 Bellevue-Stratford November 30, when 

 corsage bunches were freely ordered 

 for the last big football game. 



Franklyn Ely reports the receipt of 

 excellent early flower seed orders by 

 the Henry F. Michell Co. 



John W. Melntyre will be an im- 

 portant factor in the lilac market this 

 season. 



Jeanne Nonin, as seen in the store of 

 the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., and 

 at Edward Reid's, is magnificent. 



William Berger has put an auto on 

 the road.
